To: The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo, Governor of the State of New York Members of the New York State Legislature

On behalf of the Board of Directors of the New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund, I am pleased to present this annual report for 2013. This report includes information on revenue, award payments, research funding, promotional spending and operational improvements made during the past year.

The performances of registered New York-breds on racetracks and in sales pavilions, as well as the expansion of farms during the past year, demonstrate that the Fund is accomplishing its mission to “support by monetary incentives the responsible breeding of quality Thoroughbred racehorses in keeping with the founding legislation to preserve New York’s irreplaceable farm land.”

The award programs administered by the Fund are demonstrably encouraging people to breed, buy and race our home-grown product. The Fund is a pass-through organization that collects revenue from the racing industry and sends a minimum of 91% of that revenue back to stakeholders in the form of agricultural awards, purse enrichment for NY-breds and support for equine research. In short, the Fund contributes to the economic health of the state and its breeding and racing industries.

Sincerely,

Tracy Egan Executive Director

Executive Summary 2013

Thirty-nine years ago, New York welcomed the first foals born into the New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund programs. Established to help encourage the purchase of dairy farms whose owners could neither sell them nor pass them on to a new generation of farmers, the Fund started out much like a newborn foal: full of promise but in need of wise supervision over a period of years to ensure that its promise would be fulfilled. Measured by several indicators, it appears that 2013 is the year when it became clear that NY-breds start with a distinct advantage due to the state’s commitment to our breeding and racing industries.

• NY-breds win the most graded stakes ever • NY-breds prove their quality in open-company races • NY-breds are in demand at auction • NYRA demonstrates respect for NY-bred quality • Revenue & awards set records • Mare population grows • Foal crop increases for the second year in a row • Contribution to the Zweig Fund hits a new high

GRADED STAKES

NY-breds more than doubled the number of graded-stakes wins they recorded in 2012 (14) by notching 31 victories in graded stakes during 2013, including Grade I wins by Discreet Marq and Artemis Agrotera. Importantly, NY-breds “got the monkey off their back” when London Bridge won the Grade II Breeders’ Cup Marathon at Santa Anita, the first NY-bred horse to win a Breeders’ Cup race since the inception of the series in 1984.

OPEN COMPANY

Naturally, the graded-stakes horses led the way in demonstrating the improvement in NY- bred performances in non-restricted company. More NY-breds than ever before performed well in open-company stakes races, open-company allowance races and non-restricted optional claiming races. Later in this report, we will present charts that break down by NY track and condition where NY-breds earned their money.

DEMAND IN THE SALES RING

The combination of plentiful racing opportunities, good purses for NY-breds, and higher- quality bloodstock created unprecedented demand in the sales ring during 2013. New 2

York-breds at auction were an important factor in the dramatic upturn in sales that made it a banner year for the Thoroughbred bloodstock market nationwide and capped a three-year period of recovery. An improving U.S and world economy, combined with a strong demand for horses and a decline in the national foal crop (i.e., decreased supply) led to market strength not seen since the recession of 2008.

Even in the context of marked national success, New York-bred sales results were outstanding, and nowhere was the strength of the New York-bred marketplace more apparent than in yearling sales, which analysts regard in general as the main driver of a healthy bloodstock market.

The marquee event on the sales calendar for New York-breds, the Fasig-Tipton New York- Bred Preferred Yearlings Sale in Saratoga Springs in August, posted a record-breaking 65% increase in total sales in 2013 over 2012. Fifty-eight more New York-bred yearlings sold at this sale in 2013 than the previous year, for an average price increase of 16% (from $62,551 to $72,480). The median yearling price at the sale, which speaks to the strength of the middle market, increased by 10%, to $55,000, from last year’s median of $50,000.

Industry insiders note that this improvement in sales performance is a result of breeders stepping up the quality of the individuals they are breeding, as well as industry recognition that NY-breds are running for the best money around and are supported by a sound breeding program administered by the NYTBDF.

Fasig-Tipton president Boyd Browning noted, “There’s no question that the purse structure that exists in New York for New York-breds and the quantity of races makes it almost a necessity for any significant owner or trainer to consider New York-breds as part of their equation.”

The Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Preferred Yearlings sale set the tone for a booming New York-bred yearling market in 2013. Meanwhile, sales of New York-bred two-year-olds continued to post steady gains in average and median, while weanling sales gained considerable ground in 2013 as a result of the success of the second Fasig-Tipton October mixed sale.

NY-BRED PROGRAM AND NYRA

The New York Racing Association, Inc. ran 637 restricted races for NY-breds with purses totaling $39,158,270. That is well above the 600 restricted races requested in the franchise agreement NYRA concluded on September 12, 2008. (“New NYRA shall run a minimum of six hundred (600) New York-bred races subject to availability of a sufficient number of New York-bred horses to run competitive races with customary field size.”)

In fact, NY-bred races are so attractive to the betting public, fans and handicappers that NYRA added a second day of racing for NY-breds only – Big Apple Showcase Day – on June 1, 2013 to kick off the Belmont Festival leading up to the Belmont Stakes leg of the 3

Triple Crown. Traditionally, NYRA had waited to spotlight NY-breds on a showcase day in October. It is gratifying to see NYRA’s affirmation that the programs administered by the NY Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund have helped improve the quality of our racehorses such that they deserve greater recognition on the racing calendar. On Empire Showcase Day in October, NYRA not only put up $1.25 million in purse money for the 10-race, seven-stakes card, it also celebrated the Fund’s agricultural roots by hosting vendors who featured New York State agricultural products and many New York- based artists.

REVENUE AND AWARDS SET RECORDS

According to the December year-to-date financials in this report, the Fund set new highs for revenue and award payments. During 2013, the Fund received more than $19.4 million in revenue. Leading the way was more than $10 million in revenue from Resorts World New York City, a nearly 45% increase over 2012. This more than offset the declines in handle (-7.52%) and breakage (-5.66%) experienced in 2013.

Breeders, owners and stallion owners earned more than $15.8 million in award payments, as every category saw double-digit increases in 2013.

Amount Earned Increase % of Revenue Breeders $11,256,329 18% 57.92 Stallion 2,787,553 26% 14.34 Owner 1,787,863 48% 7.24

The Fund has improved its processes to such an extent that we now send award payments for each period at least four weeks earlier than in the past. This speed-up in award payments is in recognition that our stakeholders generally need the payments as soon as possible, as they use the money to help pay school and property taxes, feed bills and vet bills, and to help pay the thousands of people who work on the state’s farms or at racetracks and training centers. And as you can see in the map below, we send checks to farmers, suburbanites and city dwellers who invest in the Thoroughbred breeding and racing industries in the Empire State.

STALLION ROSTER GROWTH

In 2013, the State’s stallion roster added an additional 12 stallions to the 64 who stood here in 2012, bringing the total to 76. When you look at our chart of leading NYS stallions you should note that it does not include promising young sires such as Darley’s stallion Girolamo, who was recalled for stud duty in Kentucky based on the success of his first crop in the sales ring, or young stallions such as Desert Party whose first foals were born in 2012, or Mission Impazible and Boys at Tosconova, whose first foals will hit the ground in 2014.

GROWTH IN MARE & FOAL POPULATION

For the second year in a row, New York can report an increase in both the mare population and number of foals born. Later in this report we will detail the mix of new and resident mares responsible for the fact that 3,186 mares are now living on New York farms. Best of all, the Fund’s registry compliance team (field team) reports that for the second year in a row, the foal population has increased in New York State. Inspectors Tom Reynolds and Tom Conley have counted 1,522 foals* for 2013. This figure represents an increase of only 27 foals over 2012, but it demonstrates that the Thoroughbred industry in NY continues to experience an upswing, while nationwide the foal count experienced another downward tick of 2.2% in 2013. 5

ZWEIG FUND REAPS BENEFITS

One of the most exciting aspects of the 16% increase in Fund revenue for 2013 is that the equine research supported by the Zweig Fund at Cornell University will be receiving greater support from the Fund than at any time in its history: more than $330,000.** This report includes the 2012 Harry M. Zweig research report. When the 2013 report is published and provided to the Fund, we will update this annual report.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

This report will provide highlights of NY-bred performances at racetracks within and beyond New York’s borders, as well as in the sales ring. You will read a detailed accounting of the receipts and disbursements of Fund award monies. We will summarize some of the improvements we’ve made to our accounting practices and show how the Fund demonstrates respect for Thoroughbreds by supporting those who re-train or care for retired racehorses. You will also see how we are attempting to encourage young people to become part of the state’s Thoroughbred breeding and racing or agriculture through an on- going scholarship program and by supporting farm events that invite the public to get up close and personal with the horses we already love.

* The Fund is aware of approximately ten more NY foals whose owners reported their births to the Fund but did not file Live Foal Reports with the Jockey Club. We are not including these foals at the time this report is being filed, but mention it because the total foal count could increase if these owners decide to notify the Jockey Club of the births.

** The Fund makes this payment upon receipt of audited financials.

NY-Breds at the Races in 2013

Two tremendously talented fillies colored a record-setting year for New York-breds in 2013. The fillies, Turtle Bird Stable’s undefeated four-year-old Cluster of Stars and Patricia Generazio’s homebred three-year-old turf star Discreet Marq, left their mark in open graded stakes.

Collectively, 13 New York-breds won a record 15 graded stakes, one more than last year. Six of the 13 were homebreds, demonstrating again the vitality of the New York-bred program. Discreet Marq won a Grade I stakes and finished second by a length and a half and second by a nose in two others. She also won a Grade II stakes. Chester and Mary Broman’s two-year-old homebred filly Artemis Agrotera won the Grade I Frizette before finishing fifth in the Grade I Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. Cluster of Stars won a pair of Grade II stakes in a perfect six-for-six season, capping an undefeated seven-race career.

Michael Dubb and The Elkstone Group’s Head Heart Hoof; William Punk, Jr. and Phil DiLeo’s Hessonite; Gallagher Stud’s homebred Inimitable Romanee; Gerald and Susan Kresa’s King Kreesa; Waratah Thoroughbreds’ London Bridge; Aliyu Ben J. Stable’s homebred Lubash; Repole Stable’s Notacatbutallama; Antonio Miuccio’s Palace; Sure Thing Stable’s homebred Unbelievable Dream; and Anstu Stable’s homebred Wired Bryan also won graded stakes last year.

“I think New York-breds have come a long way,” said Notacatbutallama’s trainer, Todd Pletcher, who won his record sixth Eclipse Award in 2013 after leading the nation in earnings for the eighth time and the fourth year in a row. “They’ve proven they could compete at any level. Funny Cide proved that. It’s a big part of NYRA racing, so we’re always looking for New York-breds at sales. It’s great when you have horses like Notacatbutallama who can compete in open company. It’s also very lucrative for the owners.”

Mike Hushion, who trains Artemis Agrotera, has been racing in New York for decades and attests to the growth of New York-breds. “I believe my first year was when they started racing year-round,” he said. “The first New York-breds I saw were of very poor quality. You could pick one out in the paddock. Now, I’ve been really impressed the last three to five years. So many of them can run with anybody. The steps they’ve taken have been huge. We’re just a couple big stallions away from almost being on an equal par with anybody.”

It doesn’t take rocket science to figure that it’s a healthy sign when the New York Racing Association decides to hold two days of New York-bred stakes instead of one. Last year, for the first time, NYRA had two Empire Showcase Days for New York-breds, on June 1 and October 19. King Kreesa was the only horse to win stakes on both those days.

13

The Star of Stars

How could Cluster of Stars not get top billing? As a three-year-old in 2012, she won her lone start. In 2013, she raced six times and won every one for Toby Sheets, Steve Asmussen’s assistant who handled the daughter of Greeley’s Galaxy out of Babyurthegreatest by Honour and Glory, bred by Michael McPoland and Sean Finn. She had just one close call, winning the Correction Stakes by a head on February 2, her second start of the year after a 6 ¼-length romp in her three-year-old debut in a New York-bred allowance.

After the Correction, she won an open allowance race by 9 ¼ lengths; the Grade II Distaff Handicap by 2 ¾; the Grade II Gallant Bloom by five lengths off a freshening of more than four months; and the Iroquois Stakes for New York-Breds on Showcase Day by 3 ¼ lengths at odds of 1-9. That left her six-for-six in 2013 and seven-for-seven lifetime.

She was retired after an unsatisfactory workout on November 11. “We didn’t feel she had to prove anything else,” Sheets said at the time. “She retires as a sound broodmare.”

Good from January through December

Discreet Marq, who was two-for-five with one third as a two-year-old, put together a remarkable three-year-old campaign that began on January 1 when she finished a front- running third in the $75,000 Ginger Brew Stakes at Gulfstream Park. She was second by a neck in the $100,000 Sweet Chant on January 27 and then changed barns from Jane Cibelli’s to Christophe Clemente’s.

Clemente brought her back to the races exactly four months later, and she gamely won the Grade II Sands Point by three-quarters of a length at Belmont Park. She followed that with a 6 ¼-length romp in a New York-bred stakes before shipping cross-country to win the Grade I Del Mar Oaks by three-quarters of a length. She finished second in the Grade I Garden City at Belmont, then won the $200,000 Pebbles Stakes there before concluding her season on December 1 at Hollywood Park, finishing second by a nose in the Grade I Matriarch.

“She’s a really nice filly,” Clement said. “I like her very much. She’s got speed, and speed is dangerous. She’s got a high cruising speed.”

Seventy-eight-year-old Patricia Generazio, who campaigns her horses with her 84-year-old husband of 47 years, Frank, enjoyed great success with the now-10-year-old Precious Passion, who won 14 of 52 career starts and earned just under $2.7 million. “We were never fond of grass horses until Passion,” she said. “He’s very happy in retirement. He lives on the farm where he was born in Ocala.”

The Generazios, New Englanders who began with horses at Suffolk Downs and Rockingham Park, watched Discreet Marq’s Del Mar victory on television. “When she won that race, I couldn’t believe it,” Patricia said. “It was phenomenal. It’s a great feeling, 14 especially since we raced and bred her dam (To Marquet) and her grandmother (Pretty Momma). We raced them all. They’re like part of our family. It’s a great family.”

Saginaw

We are never ready for death in the afternoon. We know that it is a dire possibility for horse and rider, as we can never escape the physics of horse racing: thousand-pound Thoroughbreds traveling nearly 40 miles per hour in desperately close quarters on ankles you can ring your fingers around. So we know, unfortunately, that accidents have happened and will happen no matter how many panels are convened to discuss equine safety.

Trainer David Jacobson and Drawing Away Stable’s Saginaw was working on an undefeated season when he suffered a fatal injury during the third race on Friday, August 30, carrying 130 pounds for seven furlongs in a $70,000 allowance race. Sent off the 4-5 favorite under Junior Alvarado, Saginaw was racing in second heading into the far turn. He was beginning his move to go after the leader when Alvarado heard a strange noise. Alvarado immediately tried to pull his horse up, but Saginaw wanted to go on, and he reacted to horses passing him. Everybody knew the injury was bad.

Saginaw was taken back to Jacobson’s barn, where X-rays revealed he had fractured both sesamoids in his left front leg. There was no option other than euthanizing him to end his pain. And that was it. He was gone.

Jacobson and Drawing Away Stable had claimed Saginaw for $30,000 on March 8, 2012. Saginaw won that race and never raced in a claimer again.

After the claim, Saginaw went on a tear, finishing 2012 with 10 victories, tying with fellow NY-bred Clean Jean for the most wins of any horse in the country.

Before his final race, Saginaw had 10 wins, including eight stakes, a second and a third from his 12 previous starts, which increased his bankroll to $974,690. For his career, he had 21 victories, six seconds and three thirds from 40 starts. He was about to become a New York-bred millionaire and now he is a memory. A memory of a remarkable horse with a will to win that was unfathomable.

Talented Two-Year-Olds

Wired Bryan will remain special in 35-year-old trainer Michael Dilger’s heart for the rest of his life. He provided Dilger’s first career victory, his first victory at Saratoga, his first stakes win and his first graded stakes win. Both of those special moments happened at Saratoga as well.

A native of Ireland, Dilger was an assistant to Todd Pletcher before going out on his own. With a limited number of horses, he made his first start in February at Gulfstream, but was still looking for his first victory when Wired Bryan entered the starting gate for his debut, a 15

New York-bred maiden special weight at Belmont Park on June 19. Wired Bryan won by 7 ¼ lengths under John Velazquez. “It’s fantastic,” Dilger said after the race in a phone interview. “I’ve been given a great opportunity.”

Pletcher was on hand to see his protégé break his maiden. “I was happy to see him win,” Pletcher said. “They (Anstu Stables) were one of my first clients. I trained the mare for them. It’s kind of neat to see someone who worked for me win. I’m happy for him. He did a good job for me for years.”

Wired Bryan attracted national attention when he won the historic Grade II Sanford Stakes at Saratoga by 5 ½ lengths beneath Shaun Bridgmohan. Suddenly, Wired Bryan was the leading two-year-old in New York, if not the East.

A nose loss to Corfu in the Grade II Saratoga Special did little to tarnish Wired Bryan’s resume. But in the Grade I Hopeful Stakes, he tired to be a distant fifth on a muddy track he may have not handled well.

Wired Bryan made his two final starts of the year in New York-bred stakes, winning the $237,000 New York Breeders’ Futurity by seven lengths at Finger Lakes at 3-5 odds, and the $150,000 B.F. Bongard at Belmont Park by three lengths at 1-5 odds. His final numbers for his first season were four wins and one second in six starts, with earnings of $537,474.

Unlike Wired Bryan, who went off at odds of 7-1 as part of an entry in his debut, Artemis Agrotera went off at 2-5 odds as part of an entry when she debuted at Saratoga on August 16. And she was spectacular, scoring by 11 ¾ lengths. Her second start was even better, as she won the Grade I Frizette by a length and a quarter under Jose Lezcano, who replaced the injured Joel Rosario.

Artemis Agrotera’s final start as a two-year-old would be in the Grade I Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies. Bettors respected her accomplishments, sending her off at 7-2 odds in the field of 10. Sitting second early, she tired, finishing fifth. “To this day, I don’t think she ran her race,” Hushion said in late January. “I don’t know why. I had a lot of confidence in her. I thought there was a chance she would move forward off her last race. I knew when I got my first good look at her at the three-quarters pole, she was not on her bridle. Normally, she’s a handful. She’s go, go, go. And this time, I knew we were in trouble. It’s always a thrill to be in it, but it was a disappointing day.”

Better days will follow. Hushion saw his filly in mid-January and was very pleased. “She hasn’t grown, thankfully,” he said. “She was big, but she’s filled out now.”

Artemis Agrotera was recently ranked as the top NY-bred, male or female, in the Jockey Club’s 2013 Experimental Free Handicap, with a weight assignment of 119 pounds.

A Great Name, Versatility and Popularity

Nobody would dispute that Repole Stable’s three-year-old colt Notacatbutallama has one of the coolest names ever. Here’s how he got it: The evening that Repole Stable’s Stay Thirsty won the 2012 Jim Dandy Stakes at Saratoga - he’d win the $1 million Travers, too - Mike Repole, his wife Maria and friends were playing a game called Taboo, which involves guessing words from clues. Someone got the word “dog,” and as a clue said, “Not a cat, but a …” Maria Repole shouted out “Llama!” The name stuck.

His barn nickname is “The Llama.” And he’s been popular even before he started winning stakes. “He’s developed quite a fan base,” trainer Todd Pletcher said. “He’s got a little bit of a following.”

He deserves it. Few Thoroughbreds win stakes on dirt and grass, let alone Grade III’s. Notacatbutallama won the Grade III Hill Prince Stakes at Belmont on turf, then another Belmont turf stakes, the $100,000 Solar Splendor. At Saratoga on August 9, the Grade III Hall of Fame Stakes was switched from the grass to the sloppy main track. Notacatbutallama won by three-quarters of a length. “That was a big win for him,” Pletcher said. “He’s better on turf, but he tries. He has a lot of heart.”

Before the Hall of Fame Stakes, Notacatbutallama had a win and a second in two starts on wet tracks, and a sixth in the Grade II Jerome in his only start on dry dirt. As a two-year- old, he had three wins and three seconds from seven starts, earning $207,000. Last year, he won three of nine starts with a pair of seconds and a pair of thirds and made $376,334.

Other Top Three-Year-Old Males

Peachtree Stable’s Amberjack couldn’t have started his three-year-old year much worse. On New Year’s Day at Gulfstream Park, in an open allowance/optional $75,000 claimer, he was eased.

Amberjack switched barns from Dale Romans’ to Mike Hushion’s and, after a four-month layoff, he began a sensational run. After winning a state-bred allowance race, Amberjack won the first two legs of the Big Apple Triple, the $125,000 Mike Lee Stakes at Belmont Park and the $160,000 New York Derby at Finger Lakes. To complete the NY-bred Triple Crown and win the $250,000 bonus that would go along with it, he needed to win the $150,000 Albany Stakes at Saratoga. Sent off the 3-5 favorite, he finished second to Me B Racing Stables and Brooklyn Boys Stables’ Escapefromreality, who had finished second by a neck to Revolutionary in the Grade III Withers at Belmont in his 2013 debut. Neither Amberjack nor Escapefromreality raced again after the Albany Stakes.

Waratah Thoroughbreds’ London Bridge, who had never raced on dirt or in North America, was the winner of the Grade II Breeders’ Cup Marathon at 9-1 odds in a field of 10. His victory marked the first win ever in a Breeders’ Cup race by a New York-bred.

17

Three Diamond Farm’s Comandante closed out his sophomore season with three consecutive victories, including two in stakes: a $125,000 division of the New York Stallion Stakes Series by a length and a half, and the $100,000 Alex M. Robb by 4 ½ lengths.

Long Island Racing Stable’s West Hills Giant was second in the Grade III Gotham Stakes on the dirt in the spring, then won two New York-bred turf stakes in the summer, both $100,000 divisions of the New York Stallion Stakes Series, one coming on a disqualification.

More Three-Year-Old Fillies

Discreet Marq was just one of a trio of very successful three-year-old New York-bred fillies in 2013. Joemar Racing Stables’ homebred Lovely Syn, who did not race at two, was a spectacular four-for-four this year for trainer Dominick Schettino, and none of her victories were close. After winning her maiden special weight debut by six lengths, she won an allowance race by three. She then won a $100,000 division of the New York Stallion Stakes Series by 9 ½ lengths and the $122,000 Bouwerie by 10 ¼ lengths. She later suffered an injury in training and was retired undefeated.

Patsy Symons’ Effie Trinket earned many admirers by running her heart out every time she hit the track. After finishing third on dirt in her 2013 debut, she switched to grass, where she won an allowance race and three stakes: the $100,000 Diamondrella, the $150,000 John Hettinger and the $200,000 Ticonderoga. She was second in the $100,000 Auntie Mame and concluded her season with a gutsy second by half a length in the Grade II Mrs. Revere Stakes to Emotional Kitten in a field of 14.

Terrific Turfers

King Kreesa’s terrific four-year-old season included victories in the Grade III Poker Stakes and a pair of New York-bred stakes: the $125,000 Kingston and the $200,000 Mohawk. But his best race may have been when he led virtually the entire way before finishing second by a length and a quarter to reigning two-time Horse of the Year Wise Dan in the Grade II Fourstardave at Saratoga on August 10. Wise Dan had to work to get past King Kreesa in the stretch, and King Kreesa finished nearly five lengths clear of Lea in third. Despite finishing 12th of 14 in the Grade I Longines Hong Kong Mile in his final start of the year on December 8, King Kreesa earned $413,000 in 2013.

Six-year-old Lubash lost three other meetings with King Kreesa, but defeated him when he won the Grade III Fort Marcy by a half-length. King Kreesa was third, beaten a length and a half.

Paul Braverman and Timothy Pinch’s four-year-old gelding Kharafa won the $150,000 Ashley T. Cole for New York-breds and the $100,000 Three Coins Up Stakes in 2013.

18

Four Tops Stable’s five-year-old Hangover Kid won the $150,000 West Point Stakes after finishing third in the Grade I United Nations to Big Blue Kitten. In his final start last year, he was beaten just a half-length when second to Imagining in the Grade III Red Smith Handicap.

Fine Fillies on Grass

William Punk, Jr. and Phil DiLeo’s five-year-old mare Hessonite only made four starts last year, but two of them were wins in the Grade III Beaugay Stakes and the $100,000 On the Bus Stakes.

Inimitable Romanee lost her first six starts, including two seconds and a pair of thirds in four stakes, before finishing her season with a one-length, wire-to-wire upset in the mile- and-a-half Grade III Long Island Handicap at odds of 28-1. She topped $200,000 in earnings for 2013.

Jerry and Ronald Frankel, Steve Laymon and Bradley Thoroughbreds’ Dayatthespa won the $188,000 U Go West Girl Stakes and the $150,000 Yaddo before finishing second by a head in the Grade I First Lady and fourth by a length in the Grade I Matriarch. Three-year-old Unbelievable Dream won the Grade III Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland.

More Male Stars on Dirt

Former New York Giants’ Hall of Fame Coach Bill Parcells’ August Dawn Farm’s four- year-old Saratoga Snacks won two New York-bred stakes, including the most prestigious of them all ‒ the $250,000 Empire Classic ‒ by three-quarters of a length over Bigger Is Bettor. Earlier in the year, he won the $100,000 Shy Groom. He was third to Saginaw in the John Morrissey Stakes for New York-breds, and in his only other start finished eighth to Flat Out in the Grade I Cigar Mile after a troubled start.

Antonio Miuccio’s four-year-old colt Palace developed into a multiple stakes winner for trainer Linda Rice. After beating state-breds in the $100,000 Chowder’s First and the $150,000 Hudson, Palace took the Grade III Fall Highweight Handicap by a length and a half while carrying 129 pounds. He finished his season with a second in the $199,000 Gravesend Stakes at 3-5 odds to Strapping Groom.

West Point Thoroughbreds’ Awesome Vision put together a fine season, winning five of his 11 starts with one second, two thirds and earnings of $277,389. Three of his victories were in New York-bred stakes, including the $100,000 Move It Now Stakes.

Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence’s gelding Readtheprospectus, bred by Sen. Howard Nolan, began his four-year-old campaign with five straight victories, including the $150,000 Commentator Handicap and the $100,000 Spite the Devil Stakes. He then finished seventh in the Empire Classic.

19

Head Heart Hoof began his seven-year-old season with victories in the True and Blue Stakes and the Grade III Toboggan Handicap, then finished third by a length in another Grade III, the Tom Fool Handicap, before tailing off later in the year.

Chester and Mary Broman’s homebred five-year-old Bigger Is Bettor won the $100,000 Evan Shipman Stakes for New York-breds and the $100,000 Slew o’ Gold Stakes.

Accomplished Older Fillies and Mares

Trainer Jim Iselin and Charlotte Assoulin’s hard-hitting five-year-old mare Willet posted three victories and two seconds in seven starts, all stakes. Her only two misses were a fifth in the Grade III Bed o’ Roses and a fourth in the Grade II Go for Wand. She won the $100,000 Union Avenue, the $98,000 Princess Dixie and the $100,000 Touch of Love by more than five lengths. She was second by a nose to Clear Pasaj in the $90,000 Lottsa Talc and second by 3 ¼ lengths to Cluster of Stars in the $150,000 Iroquois.

Only a third-place finish in the Grade II Top Flight Handicap kept Saul and Max Kupferberg’s four-year-old filly Sunny Desert from a perfect season. She won her other three starts: the $67,000 Cat Cay and a pair of $73,000 New York-bred stakes, the Broadway and the Shot Berry.

*****************************************

New York-breds had another fantastic year in 2013, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t continue in the new year. Hushion, who trained 2012 New York-Bred Horse of the Year, Barry and Sheryl Schwartz’s The Lumber Guy, is expecting a big three-year-old season from Artemis Agrotera for the Bromans. “Between the Bromans and Barry and Sheryl Schwartz, they’ll give me a lot of opportunities to run horses that I won’t think of as New York-breds,” Hushion said. “They’re just good horses.”

NY Stallions Make the Grade in 2013

The 2013 racing and breeding season marked New York milestones that until recently would have seemed inconceivable: 13 New York-bred winners of 16 graded stakes, including Grade 1 dirt and turf winners on both coasts, plus two active stallions with 2013 progeny earnings exceeding Cure the Blues' 12-year-old record. In 2012, New York had surged into third place among all states in annual production of state-bred North American graded winners (with 10), but boasted no in-state stallions with annual progeny earnings above $5 million. The 2013 increase in New York-bred graded winners over an excellent 2012 plus the 2013 accomplishments of offspring of New York-based stallions Bluegrass Cat ($5,498,097 in 2013 progeny earnings) and Freud ($5,254,489 in 2013 New York- conceived progeny earnings) elevated New York's unique position as both a breeding and racing state.

New York is the only state outside Kentucky hosting at least two stallions with annual progeny earnings topping $5 million in 2013. The New York Breeding & Development Fund paid out a total of $2,518,452 in 2013 stallion awards, but that figure is barely indicative of what the offspring of New York-based stallions accomplished across the entire North American continent during 2013. In a dozen years, the then-deceased Cure the Blues' annual progeny earnings record of $5,204,222 for a New York-based sire had not even been approached. In 2013, it was shattered by two Storm Cat stallions that both appear to have several breeding seasons ahead of them. What is the history of this turnaround?

Cure the Blues' record was achieved in a phenomenal season for offspring of that Grade 1- winning and Grade 1-siring stallion. Unfortunately, he had died in January 1999 at the age of 21 after having stood five seasons in New York, and that year's second-ranked New York-based sire, Regal Classic, trailed him by almost $1.4 million in 2000 progeny earnings. The second-, third-, fourth- and fifth-ranked New York-based sires for that season were all within about $500,000 of each other in annual progeny earnings, and the following year those four were among the top seven New York-based sires for 2001 (led by new arrival Phone Trick, with Cure the Blues third). A few years earlier, Grade 1 sire Belong to Me had left New York for Lane's End in Kentucky, and in late 2004 Grade 1 winner City Zip had departed New York after two seasons to join Belong to Me. New York's stallion roster appeared to have a glass ceiling.

Winners by Cure the Blues in 2000 included eight stakes winners and three graded winners – one of them New York-bred Theresa the Teacha. Even allowing for inflation, the 2013 figures for Bluegrass Cat and Freud are comparable: both had nine stakes winners each in 2013, including a Canadian graded winner for Bluegrass Cat and two New York-bred graded turf winners for Freud, who has also sired two Grade 1 winners on dirt. Bluegrass Cat (Storm Cat – She's a Winner, by A.P. Indy), a syndicated Grade 1 winner of $1,761,280 residing at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, New York, stood his first Empire State season in 2012 after having stood his first five seasons in Kentucky. This new record- holding New York stallion is the top-ranked living North American-based sire standing outside of Kentucky. His first New York-conceived offspring are yearlings of 2014. 65

Freud (Storm Cat – Mariah's Storm, by Rahy), a full brother to international superstar runner and sire Giant's Causeway but inclined to get quicker and more precocious offspring than does his classic-siring sibling, has stood his entire career in New York since entering stud in 2002. Owned by a partnership and residing at Sequel Stallions New York in Hudson, Freud has sired 35 stakes winners, including graded winners on dirt, turf, and synthetic. He also holds the unique distinction of having sired stakes winners on all nine NYRA racing strips (Belmont dirt and inner and outer turf, Saratoga dirt and inner and outer turf, and Aqueduct inner and outer dirt and turf).

Topping $4 million ($4,005,912) in 2013 progeny earning was the syndicated Posse (Silver Deputy – Raska, by Rahy), an Eclipse Champion sire also standing at Rockridge Stud and based in New York since arriving from Kentucky for the 2010 breeding season after having been North America's leading first-crop sire of 2007. Posse's 2013 progeny earnings established yet another new benchmark for New York's stallion roster: three living stallions in the state coming off a year during which their offspring earned more than $4 million. Posse, who has sired an Eclipse Champion and a Breeders' Cup winner – both on dirt – plus another Grade 1 winner on synthetic, also sired speedy New York-bred Law Enforcement, whose owner-breeder had purchased the dam of that future stakes record- setter (foaled in 2005) when she was carrying him. Posse's first New York-conceived offspring are three-year-olds of 2014.

Three more living New York-based sires had 2013 progeny earnings of more than $2 million, and 12 other New York-based stallions – 11 living – topped $1 million in their offspring's 2013 bankrolls, bringing the total number of New York 2013 millionaire sires to 18 (17 living). Exceeding $2 million were the following Grade/Group 1 winners: Japanese-bred Utopia ($2,492,056 in 2013 progeny earnings), a $4.9-million earner on the track by Forty Niner – Dream Vision, by Northern Taste; Bob and John ($2,424,431), by Seeking the Gold – Minister's Melody, by Deputy Minister; and Congaree ($2,066,097), by Arazi – Mari's Sheba, by Mari's Book. The syndicated Utopia has stood at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds, LLC in Saratoga Springs since entering stud there for the 2008 breeding season. Bob and John, who is owned by Magnolia Stable and Pin Oak Stud, and Congaree, who is the property of Janice and Robert McNair's Magnolia Stable, both stand at Saratoga Stud, LLC in Stillwater. Bob and John stood his first New York season in 2013, and Congaree arrived in the Empire State for the 2010 breeding season.

With all 17 living New York millionaire sires of 2013 apparently scheduled to remain in the Empire State for the 2014 breeding season, it can categorically be stated that the state's stallion roster has never had the quality, depth and variety that it enjoys for 2014.

****************************************************

A chronological review of the 13 New York-bred graded winners of 2013 reveals how essential a first-class stallion roster is to producing first-class winners. Four of those 13 were conceived in New York, starting with the first New York-bred graded winner of the year, Head Heart Hoof, who captured Aqueduct's graded Toboggan Stakes at six furlongs for owners Michael Dubb, Stuart Grant, Gary Aisquith, and Scott Akman on February 2. 66

Head Heart Hoof was bred by Rhapsody Farm (Elaine Peck and Richard Quinn) and Alan and Dora Alcon, and was conceived in 2005 at Marlene Brody's Gallagher's Stud in Ghent to the cover of multiple Grade 2 winner Intidab.

On April 13, odds-on New York-bred four-year-old filly Cluster of Stars won Aqueduct's Grade 2 Distaff Handicap at six furlongs by almost three lengths under top weight for Harvey Weinstein's Turtle Bird Stable. Following a 23-week layoff, she captured Belmont's Grade 2 Gallant Bloom Handicap at six and a half furlongs by five lengths for her third of four stakes victories of the year. Bred by Michael McPoland and Sean Finn, Cluster of Stars has since been retired unbeaten in seven starts (six in 2013) through her four-year-old campaign.

On April 18, Sure Thing Stable's New York homebred Unbelievable Dream won Keeneland's graded Appalachian Stakes at a mile on turf for three-year-old fillies for her Vernon Hills, Illinois-based owner-breeder, the principal of which is Michael McGuire. The aptly named Unbelievable Dream is the only stakes-class runner produced by her unraced dam and was conceived as a result of a stallion season purchased at a charity auction.

On May 4, a pair of New York-breds sired by Freud, Lubash and Hessonite, captured Belmont's graded Fort Marcy and graded Beaugay Stakes – both at a mile and a sixteenth on turf – respectively. Lubash, a homebred six-year-old for Leonard Pivnick's Aliyuee Ben J. Stable, set a stakes record of 1:38.89 in the Fort Marcy, running possibly the fastest time for that distance in 2013. Hessonite, a five-year-old mare in 2013 who campaigned throughout her career for Wall Street investors William J. Punk, Jr. and Philip DiLeo, was sold six months later for $750,000 at Fasig-Tipton Kentucky's select sale, bringing one of the 10 highest prices for a non-pregnant female at that elite auction. Bred by Berkshire Stud and Waterville Lake Stables and raised at Berkshire Stud in Pine Plains, the $879,644 earner had been purchased by Punk and DiLeo for $27,000 at Keeneland's 2009 September yearling sale.

On May 27, Patricia Generazio's New York homebred Discreet Marq won Belmont's Grade 2 Sands Point Stakes for three-year-old fillies at a mile and a sixteenth on the inner turf. The light gray/roan captured three more turf stakes in 2013, including the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks on August 17 at a mile and an eighth, and concluded the season with a nose miss in Betfair Hollywood Park's Grade 1 Matriarch Stakes at a mile against older fillies and mares. Patricia or Frank Generazio also bred Discreet Marq's stakes-winning dam and stakes-winning maternal granddam, but Discreet Marq is the first in this female line to have been bred in New York.

On June 15, Repole Stable's New York-bred Notacatbutallama scored the first of three consecutive open six-figure stakes victories in 55 days in Belmont's graded Hill Prince Stakes for three-year-olds going a one-turn mile on the outer turf. On August 9, the turf specialist got his first tally on dirt when Saratoga's graded National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame Stakes at a mile and an eighth was switched to the sloppy main track. Acquired by owner Michael Repole for $105,000 at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's 2012 April sale of two-year-olds in training, Notacatbutallama was bred by Cortwright 67

Wetherill's Happy Hill Farm from a stakes-placed New York-bred daughter of Hansel who had stood in New York in the 1990s.

On July 4, another New York-conceived New York homebred won a graded stakes at Belmont when Gerald and Susan Kresa's four-year-old King Kreesa took the graded Poker Stakes at a one-turn turf mile in a blistering 1:33.65 for his second of three grass stakes wins in 2013. He was a worthy rival of Lubash in 2013. Bred by his owners in the name of Horse Partners, King Kreesa was conceived in June 2008 at Liberty Stud in Ghent to the cover of Grade 2 turf winner King Cugat. His maternal granddam was also a New York- bred.

A New York homebred two-year-old burst onto the scene with a win of more than five lengths on July 21 at Saratoga, when Anstu Stables' Wired Bryan romped in the Spa's Grade 2 Sanford Stakes at six furlongs. Wired Bryan's owner-breeders, Stuart and Anita Subotnick of Anstu Farm and Stables, raced New York-bred millionaire Friendly Island during the previous decade.

Another New York homebred juvenile, Chester and Mary Broman's Artemis Agrotera, became 2013's second New York-bred Grade 1 winner when she captured Belmont's $500,000 Frizette Stakes for two-year-old fillies going a mile on October 5. The Bromans, who own Chestertown Farm in Chestertown, bred Artemis Agrotera from another of their New York homebreds, stakes winner Indy Glory. Also among the Bromans' earlier New York homebreds was 2004 Grade 1 Florida Derby winner Friends Lake.

On November 1 – the first day of 14 Breeders' Cup races at Santa Anita – another milestone was passed when New York-bred London Bridge captured a Breeders' Cup event, scoring his first stakes victory in the Grade 2 Breeders' Cup Marathon as the only three-year-old among ten starters. Owned by Australian Paul Fudge's Waratah Thoroughbreds, London Bridge had won three turf routes in England but had never tried dirt prior to venturing into the mile and three-quarter (14 furlongs) Marathon. He was bred by Patricia S. Purdy and was foaled at Ivy League Farm near Ithaca owned by Purdy and her husband Chris. The Purdys, who both have dental degrees (Chris Purdy is a practicing dentist and an avid pedigree researcher), also bred former Grade 1 winners Carson Hollow and Willy Beamin, as well as Grade 2 winner Sharp Humor – all in New York – plus New York Thoroughbred Breeders (NYTB) 2009 juvenile male champion Ibboyee.

After second- or third-place efforts in six stakes restricted to New York-breds at Belmont and Saratoga during 2012-2013, Gallagher's Stud's semi-homebred Inimitable Romanee tried Aqueduct's graded Long Island Handicap for fillies and mares at a mile and a half on turf and scored her first stakes victory on November 9. The light gray races for Marlene Brody's Gallagher's Stud and was bred by Gallagher's Shiraz, which includes Brody and employees at Gallagher's Stud in Ghent. Inimitable Romanee was consigned to Fasig- Tipton's 2009 Saratoga select yearling sale and purchased outright by Gallagher's Stud for $210,000 through Bradley Thoroughbred Brokerage. At eight-to-nine furlongs on turf, she had finished behind daughters of Freud four times in 2013 but faced none of those quick- footed foes in the 12-furlong Long Island, where for the first time the five-year-old mare went gate to wire to win at odds of 28-1. 68

Scoring consecutive sprint stakes victories at Saratoga, Belmont and Aqueduct in just over three months, including his first graded tally in the Big A's $300,000 Fall Highweight Handicap on Thanksgiving Day (November 28), was Antonino Miuccio's New York-bred four-year-old Palace. The son of former New York-based sire City Zip was bred by the Peter J. Callahan Revocable Trust and was claimed for $20,000 as a three-year-old in his fourth start (in which he broke his maiden by almost 12 lengths) by two-time NYTB Trainer of the Year Linda Rice. He then won back-to-back Aqueduct allowance optional races for Rice, who also had trained City Zip, before Rice sold him to Miuccio, for whom he won an open Aqueduct starter optional in mid-December – Palace's fourth consecutive victory from October to December 2012. Palace's 2013 streak was even more impressive and followed his first turf victory at Belmont last July. He is the ninth New York-bred stakes winner sired by City Zip, whose New York connections remain strong almost a decade after his departure from the state. The gritty Palace was an ideal representative to be the 13th New York-bred graded winner of 2013.

2013 Mare Report

A total of 3,186 Thoroughbred broodmares participated in New York State’s breeding program during 2013. A review of the “Mares Participating in the New York Program” chart earlier in this report shows that the mare population attained its highest level since 2008, but is still a long way from the high counts of 3,900 mares reported in 2003 and 2004.

The gain of 380 mares marks the third year in a row that the mare population has climbed since our lowest count in 2010 (2,439).

Our Registry Compliance Team (“Field Team”) monitored all mares for the following purposes: • Ensuring that their owners were following Fund residency and reporting requirements • Confirming that all mares were properly sheltered with adequate feed and water • Tracking retirements, deaths, changes in careers and movement to other states

As the charts below illustrate, the mare population in 2013 appeared to follow the trend seen in 2012 in that there was another significant influx of quality mares from other states and countries, as well as the culling of lower-quality mares.*

The NY Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund’s hefty awards programs, backed up by an advertising campaign directed at owners of pregnant mares in late 2012 and early 2013, drew 1,192 new mares for the 2013 foaling and breeding season. In the breakdown of the origins of those broodmares, the reader will see that the vast majority came from powerhouse breeding states Kentucky and Florida, as well as the province of Ontario, Canada. The charts below compare 2012 with 2013.

The Fund’s field inspectors kept tabs on the total of 1,068 mares that left the program. In addition, another 212 mares were reported to have died.

Mares Culled from the Program in 2013 – Reported (Shipped, Sold, In State & Out of State) 404

Mares Retired – Reported (Age, Health) 165

Mare breeding statistics for 2013 indicate an increase in mares bred for the fourth consecutive year. There was a small decline in mares whose owners elected to choose a stud from the state’s increasingly attractive stallion roster.

2013 New York-Bred Auction Summary

Last year was a banner year for the Thoroughbred bloodstock market nationwide. An improving U.S and world economy, combined with strong demand for horses and a decline in the national foal crop (i.e., decreased supply) led to a market strength not seen since the recession of 2008.

Even in the context of such marked national success, New York-bred sales results were phenomenal, and nowhere was the strength of the New York-bred marketplace more apparent than in yearling sales, which analysts regard as the main driver of a healthy bloodstock market.

The Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Preferred Yearlings sale in Saratoga Springs in August, the most important auction of the year for many breeders, broke the previous record for total sales and set the tone for a booming New York-bred yearling market in 2013. Meanwhile, sales of New York-bred two-year-olds continued to post steady gains in average and median, while weanling sales gained considerable ground in 2013 as a result of the success of the second Fasig-Tipton October mixed sale.

Detailed reviews of the New York-bred yearling, two-year-old and weanling sales results follow. All statistics were provided by The Jockey Club.

Yearling Sales

Chart I. New York-Bred Yearlings at Auction 2011-2013

Yearlings 2013 Yearlings 2012 Yearlings 2011 (change from prior (change from prior (change from prior year) year) year) No. Sold 534 (+47%) 364 (+2%) 358 (-7%) Total Sales $27,924,200 (+82%) $15,313,800 (+14%) $13,473,500 (+35%) Average $52,293 (+24%) $42,071 (+12%) $37,635 (+46%) Median $30,000 (+20%) $25,000 (+25%) $20,000 (+67%) Top Seller $450,000 $450,000 $500,000 # $100K and over 83 36 38

From 2010 to 2012, the number of New York-bred yearlings sold at auction remained fairly constant, ranging from 364 to 385. In 2013, however, the market saw a 47% increase in the number of individuals sold, which jumped to 534.

Even more dramatic than the increase in sheer numbers was the 82% increase in total sales over the previous year (from $15,313,800 to $27,924,200). It was not just that more New York-bred yearlings changed hands at auction in 2013, but that they were dramatically more valued in the sales ring. In the past three years, the New York-bred yearling market

81 has undergone a complete turnaround, more than doubling its total sales from $13,473,500 in 2011 to $27,924,200 in 2013.

The other key indicators (average, median) also speak to the value of the New York product. The average sales price for a New York-bred yearling in 2013 rose 24% over 2012 (to $52,293), and the median price, which speaks to the strength of the middle market, climbed 20% (to $30,000). Last year also saw an unprecedented 83 New York-bred yearlings sell for at least $100,000, compared with 36 and 38, respectively, in the previous two years.

New York-bred yearling sales figures overall stack up well against the national statistics, which is an outstanding achievement for a regional breeding program going head-to-head with the “bluest of the blueblood” Kentucky product. New York-bred yearlings averaged of $52,293 compared with the national average of $60,527. The $30,000 New York-bred yearling median actually outperformed the national yearling median of $28,000.

As noted earlier, the Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Preferred Yearlings sale in Saratoga Springs in August was the high-water mark for New York-bred sales of 2013. The sale posted a record-breaking 65% increase in total sales in 2013 over 2012. Fifty-eight more New York-bred yearlings sold at this sale in 2013 than the previous year, for an average price that rose 16% (from $62,551 to $72,480). The median yearling price at the sale increased 10%, to $55,000, from last year’s median of $50,000.

Top Achiever

The top-selling New York-bred yearling of 2013 was a War Front colt bred by Michael and Patricia Palenscar, who brought $450,000 at the Keeneland September sale. Purchased by Demi O’Byrne from the consignment of Blandford Stud (Padraig Campion), agent, the dark bay/brown colt (Hip 255) is the first foal from the Palenscars’ homebred My Dear Annie, a stakes-placed New York-bred daughter of Smart Strike who earned $108,844. The Palenscars also bred the colt’s second dam Fancy Landing, an unraced daughter of Formal Gold who is a half-sister to stakes winner El Sancho and New York-bred stakes-placed Perfect Landing (Beau Genius). The colt was foaled and raised at Tom and Mia Gallo’s Blue Stone Farm in Cambridge.

The New York-bred two-year-old market expanded significantly right after revision of the NYRA purse structure in 2011, when the number of individuals sold in increased by 56% to 206 in 2011 from 132 in 2010, and total sales increased a whopping 89%.

Since the initial bump in 2011, the number of New York-bred two-year-olds sold at auction has declined slightly. The value to buyers, however, is still in evidence. In the face of a 12% decline in number sold between 2012 and 2013, the decline in total sales was only 5%. In fact, the average and median New York-bred two-year-old prices posted increases in 2013. The average price for a New York-bred two-year-old increased by 7% (to $51,202 in 2013 from $47,821 in 2012) and the 2013 median rose by 20% (to $30,000 in 2013 from $25,000 in 2012). Moreover, the New York-bred two-year-old median was comparable to the national two-year-old median of $32,000.

Top Achiever

The top-selling New York-bred two-year-old of 2013 was a chestnut ridgling by Stormy Atlantic out of Forest Lady bred by Conduit Bloodstock Services, et al. and foaled at Anstu Farm in Millbrook. Having commanded top dollar as a weanling in 2011, when he sold to Steve Shahinian for $225,000 at the Keeneland November sale, the horse, now named Bardstown, was purchased by Robert Hess, Jr. for $400,000 at the Keeneland April two- year-old sale (Hip 59). Bardstown’s dam is a full sister to multiple Group/Grade 1 winner Ciro ($701,689), who is also a sire in Japan. The third dam, Korveya, is a graded winner and sister to Keos, the German highweight older horse at five.

Weanling Sales

Figures for New York-bred weanling sales over the last three years show a market in transition. Between 2010 and 2013, there has been an astronomical expansion in the 83 number of New York-bred weanlings sold at auction, increasing nearly three-fold from 46 in 2010 to 123 in 2013. Moreover, this essentially “new” weanling market is a direct result of the creation of a new marketplace.

In October 2012, Fasig-Tipton added the Saratoga Fall Mixed and Horses of Racing Age sale to its calendar. In its inaugural year, 57 New York-bred weanlings sold at the Saratoga Fall Mixed sale, nearly doubling the total number of New York-bred weanlings changing hands at auction (from 63 in 2011 to 122 in 2012). By the same token, the new sale seemed to take the market by surprise, and the major indicators declined. In 2012, the average New York-bred weanling price dropped by 34% and the median fell by 26%.

In its second year in 2013, the October Mixed sale generated much more buyer traffic and experienced a complete turnaround. Not only did the sale account for the majority of the total number of New York-bred weanlings sold in 2013 (71 of 123), but also helped this market make up much of the ground lost in 2012. In 2013, the overall weanling average rebounded by 37%, to $33,590, and the median returned to its 2011 level of $20,000.

The Saratoga Fall Mixed sale promises to continue to build on this momentum in 2014, as more and more buyers see a natural pinhooking (resale) opportunity for weanlings purchased in October in the highly successful New York-bred Preferred Yearlings sale the following summer at the same venue.

Top Achiever

The top-selling New York-bred weanling of 2013 was a bay colt by Harlan’s Holiday, who was purchased by Abbey Partnership at the Keeneland November Breeding Stock sale for $200,000. Bred by Fred W. Hertrich III and John D. Fielding and foaled at Majestic View Farms International in Gardiner, the sale colt (Hip 665) is the second foal out of First Grade, a winning daughter of Smart Strike bred in Kentucky by WinStar Farm LLC. First Grade is a full-sister to stakes winner Glint (Sharp Humor). The colt’s third dam is multiple graded-stakes winner Recognizable (Seattle Slew), whose half-sister Awe Inspiring was a multiple Grade 1 winner and earner of nearly $1 million.

Conclusion

Led by the unprecedented success of the yearling market, New York-breds of all classes flourished in the auction ring in 2013. The revised purse structure at the NYRA tracks from gaming revenue, an enhanced awards structure from the New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund, and a generally improving economy acted as catalysts for the market strength of the New York-bred product, but considerable credit must also go to New York breeders themselves, who are embracing the opportunities offered to them and striving as a whole to improve the product.

As Fasig-Tipton president and CEO Boyd Browning, Jr. said recently, “What we are seeing is not only an improvement in the New York-bred program but also a dramatic increase in

84 the quality of horses that are being presented and raised in New York. It’s a combination of both the purse opportunities and a better product in the new York-bred marketplace.”

Following the record-breaking Saratoga yearlings sale, Browning said in a similar vein, “I think [the success of the sale] is a tribute to the New York program. It shows what happens when the breeders and the horsemen cooperate and when the legislators understand the opportunities and the significant impact that our industry can have on a state. You can see the enthusiasm that the breeders feel, that the people at the racetrack feel, and it demonstrates the power of cooperation amongst constituents and the results have been, frankly, extraordinarily impressive.”

NEW YORK BREEDING PROGRAM IN 2013 COMPARED TO THOSE IN OTHER STATES

Overview of NY Breeding Program

The New York breeding industry showed signs that the upswing that began in 2012 continued in 2013. We witnessed increases in the number of mares and stallions moving to New York and can report a small increase in the foal crop. NY-breds lead the list of average earnings per starter for 2013.

But this isn’t a one-sided relationship. According to a 2012 study commissioned by members of the NY Horse Racing and Agriculture Industry Alliance, New York-bred Thoroughbreds have helped contribute to the state:

• $4.2 billion in annual economic impact • $187 million in annual taxes paid to state and local governments • 33,000 full-time jobs • 2,300 breeding, training and racing facilities • The preservation of more than 36,000 acres for raising Thoroughbreds

Below is a summary of the Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund’s award rates to allow the reader to compare our program with those in other states.

Award Rates

Breeder Awards

In 2013, the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund paid $10,463,319 to breeders of registered New York-breds. A breeder is the owner of a mare at the time she foals in New York State. Breeder award rates are determined based on the covering stallion.

New York-Sired* Award (Percent of Purse Money Earned) First Place 30% Second Place 15% Third Place 15% Cap per Award $40,000

88

Non-New York- Award (Percent of Purse Money Sired* Earned) First Place 15% Second Place 7.5% Third Place 7.5% Cap per Award $20,000

*A New York-sired New York-bred is sired by a registered New York stallion. A non-New York-sired New York-bred is sired by an out-of-state stallion or an unregistered New York stallion.

Stallion Owner Awards

The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund distributed $2,596,358 in 2013 stallion owner awards. These awards are paid to owners of registered New York-based (at the time of conception) covering stallions. Please note that only New York-bred progeny of New York-based stallions are eligible to earn stallion owner awards. Stallion owner awards have been increased to 10% of purses earned from finishes in first through third place. All stallion owner awards are capped at $10,000 per horse, per race.

Open-Company Owner Awards

Owners of registered New York-breds who earned purse money in open-company races were paid $1,636,069 by the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund in 2013.

For all open-company races in New York State with a minimum claiming price of $30,000, there are two tiers of owner awards:

New York-Sired* Award (Percent of Purse Money Earned) First through Third 20% Place Cap per Award $20,000

Non-New York-Sired* Award (Percent of Purse Money Earned) First through Third 10% Place Cap per Award $20,000

89

*A New York-sired New York-bred is sired by a registered New York stallion. A non-New York-sired New York-bred is sired by an out-of-state stallion or a non-registered New York stallion.

NYRA IMPACT

An examination of the Fund’s financials for 2013 shows that NYRA paid the Fund more than $3.7 million generated from handle. The Fund receive receives .07% of both on-track handle and NYRA Rewards handle, as wagers made via that online betting hub are treated as though they were placed at the racetrack.

Significantly, NYRA was able to run 637 races restricted to registered NY-breds in 2013. When it comes to establishing value for Registered NY-breds, the number of racing opportunities and purse offerings are extremely important. In 2013, NYRA put up more than $39-million dollars in NY-bred restricted purse money.

FINGER LAKES IMPACT

Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack provides an important venue for NY-breds. From April through early December each year, FLGR conducts live Thoroughbred racing on more than 160 days. In addition to thousands of open-company races, “the Lakes,” as it is popularly known, carded 160 NY-bred restricted races and offered $4,394,847 in restricted purse money to registered NY-breds.

ADVERTISING EFFECT

The Fund uses advertising and publicity to inform other state’s breeders that NY-breds “Start with an Advantage.” In addition to monetary advantages, we tell other state’s breeders to “Get with the Program” because no other state-breds can compete for such generous purses as those available at NYRA, and we offer arguably better awards to breeders, owners and stallion owners.

VLT EFFECT

Resorts World Casino NYC provided more than $10.1 million to the Breeding Fund in 2013. Delaware North, Inc., which operates VLTs at Finger Lakes, provided more than $2 million in VLT payments to the Fund. Thus, 63% of the Fund’s $19 million in revenue was provided by VLTs.

ENCOURAGING INTEREST AMONG YOUTH IN NY’S BREEDING AND RACING INDUSTRIES

In 2013, for the second year in a row, the Fund provided scholarships to six students who have demonstrated to their college instructors a commitment to becoming working members of the state’s Thoroughbred breeding or racing communities.

While we sent the individual $2,500 scholarships to each student’s Bursar, the students loved getting a taste of world-class racing with a visit to Saratoga Racecourse, where a symbolic check was presented.

The Director of the Office of Racing Promotion and Development, Charles Diamond, joined the Fund’s Executive Director Tracy Egan to make the Fund’s scholarship presentation during NYRA’s 5th Annual College Day on July 25th, 2013. Students from left to right: Hannah Hoskins, Danica Cochran, Paige Montanye, Egan, Diamond, Mairead Mulhern and Lauren Jacobs. Cornell’s Kaylan Spatny was unable to attend.

The students enjoyed the youthful environment that went along with NYRA’s 5th Annual College Day. It not only encourages young people to come to the races by giving them free grandstand admission with a valid college ID, but provides a drawing for a chance to win a $1,000 scholarship after each race. While the Fund’s scholarship earners were already winners, they joined in the fun atmosphere and signed up for the chance to lessen their own (or their parents’) college bills by another grand.

The Fund is grateful to the teachers who work closely with the students to identify those who most closely fit with the scholarship criteria: returning students who have demonstrated through course selection, jobs and internships a sincere interest in pursuing a career in the Thoroughbred breeding or racing industries in New York State upon graduation.

Here’s a more personal look at the scholarship earners according to their lineup in the photo above.

Hannah Hoskins graduated from Batavia High School in western New York and is working towards a bachelor’s degree in Thoroughbred racing management at Morrisville State College. She’s already earned her associate’s degree and made the Dean’s least in three out of four semesters, all while being an active member of the school’s western riding team. She says, “I’ve always loved horses and riding, and I’ve taken an interest in Thoroughbred racing. I enjoy seeing how the hard work of training and taking care of our horses pays off. I am confident I can take what I've learned under Dr. Clyde Cranwell’s instruction and use it in any aspect of the Thoroughbred industry I decide to, whether it be managing my own stable, training, exercise riding or breeding.”

Danica Cochran studied equine science during her four years at Norfolk County Agricultural High School in Massachusetts, but was lured from her native state by the reputation of Dr. Cranwell’s programs at Morrisville State College, which are dedicated to creating a properly trained work force for New York’s Thoroughbred businesses. Danica fell in love with horse racing in 2004, when she began to follow three-year olds that were on the Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown trail. She currently studies Thoroughbred equine racing management and says, “For the future, I plan to graduate from Morrisville State College and pursue a career in Thoroughbred racing and get my trainer’s license. I hope to become a leading member of the sport and a lifelong supporter of Thoroughbreds.”

In the picture above, Danica is enjoying the company of Mossy Oak, who was adopted from the Purple Haze Center at the Finger Lakes Thoroughbred Adoption Program. The students at Morrisville nicknamed him “Devil,” not because of the way he behaves but because his dam is named Devilzene. He is a son of former NY stallion Peruvian, making him a full brother to the late, great racehorse Saginaw.

Paige Montanye, a Saratoga County native, is using her scholarship for senior-year studies at Cobleskill College that will allow her to complete her bachelor’s degree in animal science degree with a concentration in equine studies. Paige worked at the harness track initially, and has now worked for top Thoroughbred trainer Chad Brown for two summers. She also worked for trainer Linda Rice last January. Paige spent the summer of 2013 working for a track veterinarian in Saratoga. Paige is a member of Cobleskill’s hunter seat varsity riding team and is an excellent student specifically focused on Thoroughbred racing and breeding. She is confident from the track backstretch to the paddock, and even in the clubhouse boxes at Saratoga Race Course.

Mairead Mulhern from Hyde Park in Dutchess County has demonstrated excellence in her academic studies at Cobleskill College, earning a 3.51 grade point average. Mairead brought 15 years of experience riding and handling horses when she began her summer job at Meadow View Thoroughbreds in Canajoharie. She tells us, “They specialize in the care of Thoroughbred mares and foals, along with taking care of a few retired horses. At my job, I am responsible for feeding the horses as well as maintaining the pastures and stalls. The best part of my job is being able to handle and work with the foals. We work a lot on the foal's ground manners, which includes brushing them, picking up their feet, getting them used to fly spray, and teaching them to stand for the blacksmith.”

She is truly learning about the NY breeding program from the ground up and demonstrating a great work ethic at the same time. She will be a welcome addition to the full-time farm work force when she graduates with a bachelor’s degree in animal science with a concentration in equine studies.

Lauren Jacobs is a junior at Cornell University who is majoring in animal science and maintains a 3.9 GPA. She hails from Poughquag in Dutchess County, and has demonstrated her desire to work with animals since she was in high school. Her extra- curricular activities and jobs have included membership in the Block and Bridle Club, where should would halt-break horses and show them in livestock shows; membership in the Pre-Vet Society, where she served as a dog walker; and employment as barn staff at both Sky Blue Farm and Sprout Creek Farm. Currently, she’s working in a genetics lab to learn more about how the descendants of Airdrie Apache pass along a gene responsible for white coats in Thoroughbreds. Lauren plans to become a large-animal vet and to set an example for other horse owners. “I plan to ride for pleasure in my free time and keep a Thoroughbred. Owning a horse will give me the ability to show my clients how I care for horses. Serving as a model ensures that I take action based on what I say and that I can extend beyond textbook advice.”

Kaylan Spatny will graduate from the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014. Kaylan comes from Setauket on the North Shore of Long Island. An excellent student and 95 experienced scientist, it was her love of horses that inspired her desire to major in Equine Track DVM. Below, she is pictured with Gus, the 24-year-old retired NY-bred she has owned since he was ten.

Highlights of Kaylan’s extracurricular activities include memberships in clubs such as the AAEP Student Chapter, showing in hunter/jumper classes, an externship at Oakencroft Equine Clinic, and conducting research in Dr. Lisa Fortier’s orthopedics lab on platelet- rich plasma and its effects on gene expression in tendons. She says, “I also enjoy working with cattle and farm-animal species. After graduation I hope to go on to an internship in large-animal medicine and then gain experience in a private practice before considering further schooling.”

The Fund congratulates each of the scholarship winners and applauds the excellent equine and agricultural education New York State institutions provide to students.

Additional support for youth: In 2013, the Fund supported a “Sunday on the Farm” event at McMahon Thoroughbreds in Saratoga through the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Saratoga County. The event truly demonstrated that the public wants to get up close and personal with Thoroughbreds. More than 5,000 people, mostly families, parked as far as two miles away from the Fitch Road farm in order to see the mares, foals and stallions that are produced there. It was amazing to see children and adults connect with the animals in their natural surroundings in a way that is not possible at the racetrack. Hopefully, the Fund can find a way to support similar events in our major breeding areas of the state to plant the seeds of interest in the horses that support the state’s racing product and breeding industry.

2013 Fund Advertising and Promotion Report

In response to suggestions from stakeholders that we need to expand our advertising reach beyond the traditional racing and breeding print publications, in 2013 the Fund continued to use some of the advertising outlets it first tried out in 2012, in addition to some new platforms.

NEW:

• NBC Sports • NYRA in-house and simulcast signal • MSG+ • Racing programs • Horse Racing Radio Network • Online equine magazines • TDN online

TRADITIONAL:

• BloodHorse Magazine • Daily Racing Form • National Museum of Racing Guidebook

Before the Fund commits to an advertiser, it examines how the specific outlet will help us succeed in our mission to create marketplace demand for NY-breds attracting quality broodmares and stallions to our hundreds of boarding farms.

Broadly speaking, the people who are drawn to horse racing are either born to it because their families are involved in the industry, or they enjoy the puzzle-solving that is involved in handicapping and betting on races. Therefore, video commercials aimed at an audience composed of fans, handicappers, owners and trainers while they’re enjoying the sport make a lot of sense.

In 2013, both NBC and NBC Sports Network (home of the Triple Crown) brought a large audience to New York racing through its “Summer at Saratoga” broadcasts live from Saratoga Race Course.

Those and other commercials were aired on NYRA’s in-house system on-track and during simulcasts to other tracks.

MSG+ Channel carried NYTBDF commercials during the Thoroughbred Weekly program, which is available in 11.5 million households in NYC and its suburbs, Connecticut and northern New Jersey.

This promotion included a “NY-Bred Spotlight” in which the hosts discuss video of the stretch drive of an outstanding performance by a NY-bred the previous week. That was 97 topped by a 30-second commercial adjacency. This agreement included awareness outreach via the running of 15-second promos on the Madison Square Garden marquee.

Additionally, Fund ads appeared in NYRA racing programs on major race days such as Belmont and the Travers.

Radio

HRRN, the Eclipse Award-winning broadcast organization based in Lexington, KY, provided promotion and commercials on all its platforms during 2013. Horse Racing Radio Network has exclusive radio rights to the Triple Crown races. All their commentators, starting with founder Mike Penna, are committed to promoting the positive aspects of horse racing.

Broadcasts are aired nationwide on SiriusXM Satellite radio and on many traditional radio affiliates, and are streamed to a worldwide audience on www.horseracingradio.net. Therefore, the Fund reached horsemen in more than 140 countries. HRRN also provided interview segments in which the talk centered solely on promoting NY-breds and the NY- bred program.

Website Support for Ads

Because TV, radio, print and online advertisements include the Fund’s copyrighted web address (www.nybreds.com), we were able to invite listeners and viewers to our website, where they could read the targeted message NY-Breds Start with a Bigger Advantage on our homepage.

Online Media

The Fund used TDN.com./The Thoroughbred Daily News for a second year in 2013 to drive home the message that NY-breds start with a bigger advantage. Each time a NY-bred wins a stakes race or finishes first, second or third in a graded stakes race, an “adlet” appeared bearing the phrase “NY-Breds start with a Bigger Advantage.” The reader could click on the ad to link to the Fund’s webpage and learn more about why every racing stable should be stocked with NY-breds.

In addition, because NY-breds are increasingly performing well in open company in the US and abroad, we added a second “adlet” with the message “Bred in New York to Face the World,” as seen below.

Print & Online

What follows are some examples of print ads that appeared during 2013. They include ads directed at industry participants as well as ads to inform the public about the Fund and its mission to use monetary incentives to promote the breeding of quality Thoroughbreds and to help encourage the preservation of the state’s irreplaceable farm land. Some are aimed at yearling buyers, other ads speak to owners who buy two-year-olds in training. Capstone Graphics even created one ad specifically for use at events that support Thoroughbreds after they leave the racetrack. The following are examples of ads run by the Fund during 2013.

2013 Advertising Summation

One of the first rules of business is to meet the needs of current customers while seeking new ones. The variety of the advertising platforms used by the Fund in 2013 covered all bases. Our ads touted the advantages of the New York program, thus encouraging our current stakeholders to stay involved while recruiting new participants to New York breeding and racing.

Requirements and Regulations

for the

New York-Bred Registry

New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Corp. 1 Broadway Center Suite 601 Schenectady, NY 12305 Tracy Egan, Executive Director

121

Interpretation The rules in this article shall be administered by the Fund and questions of interpretation and intent shall be determined by the Fund.

Administration Procedures for establishing compliance with or satisfaction of such rules shall be established by the Fund and administered by its Executive Director.

Registration and de-registration No horse shall be considered a “New York-bred” Thoroughbred unless such horse is so registered by the Fund. Should the Fund be satisfied that grounds exist to cancel or void a registration, it may so determine and order any monies of the Fund due any person as a result of such questionable registration held and, if paid, to be returned to the Fund for proper disposition. In addition, pending such determination, the Fund shall be empowered to order retention of such monies as may be payable as a result of any questionable registration, for proper disposition, upon its final determination.

Sanctions For good cause shown, the Fund may order that any individual shall be disqualified from participating as a beneficiary of such Fund for such time as it may determine appropriate.

New York-bred (a) Definitions - as used in this article, the following terms shall mean: 1. Fund: The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund 2. Thoroughbred: A horse registered or qualified for registration as a Thoroughbred by the Jockey Club 3. Horse: Except when from the context it appears otherwise, shall mean horse, stallion, mare, gelding, ridgling, colt, or filly 4. Foal: The offspring of a sire and dam, having been born 5. Foaled: Born 6. Sire: The male parent of a horse 7. Dam: The female parent of a horse 8. Breeder: The owner of the mare (dam) at the time it foals a New York- bred 9. “New York Stallion”: A Thoroughbred stallion standing in New York State and registered with the Fund in accordance with the law

For requirements and regulations regarding your foals, please contact our offices.

For foals of 1996 and beyond (1995 and subsequent breeding seasons), for a foal to qualify as a registered New York-bred, the dam of such foal must:

A. Be continuously in residence in the State of New York from no later than 90 days after her last cover in the year of conception and thereafter remain in residence until foaling in New York State; or 122

B. Foal in the State of New York and be bred back to a registered New York stallion and thereafter remain in New York for a continuous period of 90 days after giving birth to such foal.

These simple rules effectively create two categories of mares – resident mares and transient or “visiting” mares – and should more participation in the Fund program more attractive for prospective breeders and owners.

At the 2007 Annual meeting, the Harry M. Zweig Committee approved the allocation of funds to help support a Cornell Clinical Fellow in Equine Health. Dr. Sophy Jesty was selected as Cornell’s 1st Clinical Fellow, and Dr. Sarah Pownder as the 2nd Clinical Fellow, supported in part by Zweig funds, both of whom are highly successful candidates. Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine’s two-year Clinical Fellows Program is the first in the country to address a growing shortage of academic veterinarians who conduct research on animal diseases and basic biology. The program is designed to help students meet the financial and time demands of qualifying for a position in veterinary academic medicine, which has traditionally required students to complete an M.S. or Ph.D. after they finish their doctorate in veterinary medicine (DVM). The two-year program, available to veterinarians who have completed a three-year residency, offers an annual salary of $65,000 plus benefits and an additional $15,000 per year to fund a research project.

2012 HARRY M. ZWEIG MEMORIAL FUND FOR EQUINE RESEARCH PROGRAM PROGRESS REPORT

PROJECT TITLE: The Genetic Basis of Recurrent Laryngeal Neuropathy (RLN) in Thoroughbreds

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): DM Ainsworth, NE Robinson, J Swinburne, RJ Todhunter, Z Zhang, J Stick, NG Ducharme.

A. Specific Aims: Aim 1: collect and archive DNA samples from 300 controls and 300 cases (grade 3 or 4 RLN-affected horses).

Aim 2: perform a Genome Wide Association Scan (GWAS) using the Equine SNP70 beadchip (Illumina) to identify chromosomal loci that are strongly associated with the disease.

B. Results: Aim 1: Sample collection and DNA isolation from 600 horses has been completed. Comprehensive phenotype data (RLN grade, gender, coat color, height and weight) were available for 549 horses (288 cases and 261 controls), used in the GWAS analysis. DNA samples have been archived thanks to the assistance of personnel at the DNA bank (Drs. Todhunter, Castelhano and Ms. Liz Corey, Julie Jordan).

Aim 2: Genotyping and data analysis of 549 horses using the Equine SNP70 Beadchip was accomplished by our bioinformatics team: Drs. Adam Boyko, Samantha Brooks, Rory Todhunter and Joe Zhang. 1. Performance of the beadchip was confirmed by using coat color and gender identification. Of the 65,157 SNP markers on the Equine SNP70 Beadchip, 7,593 SNPs had missingness >5% and 9,956 had minor allele frequencies <1% causing them to be excluded. 16 additional SNPs were excluded due to significant frequency differences between males and females; 168 SNPs were excluded due to significant departures from Hardy-Weinberg expectation (P < 1 x 10-4). The final data set contained 51,149 SNPs. Genotyping rates of 92-99% per individual (mean =99.6%) were achieved.

2. Association mapping of body size: GWAS was performed on height using gender as covariates. Regardless of whether sex/neuter covariates were included in the model, all tests yielded a significant association signal at the LCORL gene (equine chromosome 3, ECA3), known to be associated with growth and size in TB horses. A linear model consisting of age, neuter and LCORL allele count explained 25% of the variation of height, with LCORL alone accounting for 18% of the variation. (Note that association tests were performed with GEMMA using a centered relatedness matrix to control population stratification and running a standard Linear Mixed Model (LMM) with P-values computed using a Wald test).

3. Association mapping of RLN: Correcting for population structure in the full data set, the strongest association with RLN was at the LCORL gene on ECA3. (Figure 1, page 2). A second marginal peak occurred on the X chromosome and a tertiary peak occurred on ECA18. Treating RLN score (1…4) as a quantitative trait yielded the same three QTL signals (P=4.5 x 10-9, 7.4 x10-6, 8.8 x 10-6). Using sex and neuter as 166 covariates further increased the significance of the LCORL signal at position (P=3.6 x 10-10). Even after accounting for sex and neutering, body size had a significant effect

167

on RLN. After accounting for gender, a four-inch increase in height increases the probability of being RLN by 29%.

The Quantile: Quantile plot on the right depicts the expected distribution of association P-values (X-axis) from a random normal distribution compared to the observed P-values (Y-axis). Deviation from the solid red line (upper right) shows true disease variants.

C. Conclusions and significance: Our data suggest that the gene(s) associated with RLN are located near the LCORL gene on ECA3, with potential contributions to this complex trait by genes located on the X chromosome and on ECA18. In our current Zweig (2013), we are interrogating these loci using an across-breed genotyping strategy (investigating RLN in Standardbred horses).

Once we have identified the genes involved in RLN, we hope to market a commercially available SNP chip that can be used to blood test foals at-risk for developing RLN (and thus require surgical intervention for successful racing careers). Perhaps more importantly, horses passing on susceptibility loci can be targeted for removal from the breeding pool. Finally, once the genes involved in abnormal laryngeal function are identified, novel therapies will emerge for which CU will be at the cutting edge.

2013 HARRY M. ZWEIG MEMORIAL FUND FOR EQUINE RESEARCH PROGRAM

PROJECT TITLE: Identification of the Optimal biologic to Enhance Endogenous stem cell recruitment and Homing for Facilitated Musculoskeletal Tissue Regeneration.

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Lisa A. Fortier

A. Progress Report In the original proposal, there were four specific aims that were expected to be performed in parallel. In general, each aim focuses on a different cell type while testing all biologics simultaneously for chemoattraction of the cell type in question. No aim is dependent on the completion or success of another.

Specific Aim 1 is designed to determine the migratory pattern and distance that chondrocytes travel in response to chemoattractants released from platelet rich plasma, autogenous fibrinogen, bone marrow aspirate, or bone marrow aspirate concentrate. These biologics were chosen because they have known anabolic and mitogenic effects on equine musculoskeletal tissues and stem cells derived from bone marrow or adipose tissue. Using a microfluidics device created by our Co-I for similar cell migration experiments, all biologics can be simultaneously tested on one cell type in a competitive fashion. The device allows for quantification of the number of cells and the migratory distance that cells travel toward the biologic/putative chemoattractant. The migratory pattern of cells is also monitored.

Specific Aim 2 will be similar to Aim 1, but will test the migratory response of tenocytes to the biologics.

Specific Aim 3 will focus on bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells as the cell type.

Specific Aim 4 will assess migration of adipose-derived stem cells to biologics. An N=8 will performed in each aim. Each N will consist of cells and biologics derived from a different horse. For each N, three replicates using three devices will be performed.

The expectation is that knowledge gained though the studies outlined in this proposal will provide immediately relevant and clinically applicable methods of regenerative therapies for musculoskeletal tissue injuries by use of simple, autogenous biologics that will recruit endogenous cells to the site of injury. Harnessing the body’s own reparative abilities will result in more rapid application of treatments that are universally available to aid horses in their return to athletic performance.

B. Studies & Results

171

We have made considerable progress toward completion of Aims 1 and 3. Our preliminary data on n=5 samples from different horses indicates that both chondrocytes and mesenchymal stem cells preferentially migrate to biologics that contain the highest concentration of leucocytes – platelet rich plasma type B and bone marrow concentrate. Because we are using low passage cells to maintain phenotype, we are ipso facto using a heterogenous population of cells. Added biological variability comes not only from each animal’s cells, but from the biologics themselves that are used as chemoattractants. Therefore, we anticipate that a minimum of n=8 from each group will be required for statistical analyses. The results of our preliminary studies using mesenchymal stem cells has been presented at a recent Gordon Research Conference (Appendix 1). The work was presented by Brooke Wilson who is performing the experiments as her project during completion of her Veterinary Student Training in Biomedical Research Program. Brooke will also obtain a M.S. for this work. Enthusiasm from the audience for this approach was much like ours – that one’s own biological material can be used to recruit stem cells and that this microfluidics device can measure not only the number of cells that are migrating, but the exact distance that each cell is moving toward a chemoattractant. This is different compared to standard migration assays that can only count the number of cells migrating and not the distance.

Our greatest impedance to completion of the experiments has been a limited supply of microfluidics devices from our collaborator Dr. Mao. We were initially probably naïve in how many devices Dr. Mao’s group could provide for these studies. This has been resolved by working with Dr. Mao to transfer the knowledge necessary to physically make the devices here on the Cornell-Ithaca Campus.

C. Significance

The work of the studies in this proposal are important for the clinical realization of stem cell therapy. The concept is that through use of the patients’ own natural biologically-derived solution, that stem cells can be recruited to the site of injury to facilitate tissue repair.

D. Plans

There are no modifications to the original proposal plan. In Year 2, we will obtain data from additional chondrocyte and mesenchymal stem cell experiments and perform the full complement of parallel experiments using tenocytes and synoviocytes to gain the information needed to understand how each injured cell type behaves with respect to migration toward biological products commonly used in regenerative therapy.

We have validated two in vivo techniques (transesophageal ultrasound (TEU) and computed tomography (CT)) for determining muscle geometry based on known geometry in ex vivo larynges. This study was performed in twenty four specimens. Briefly, for each specimen, the thickness of the mid-body of the Cricoarytenoid Dorsalis muscle (CAD) was determined under light sedation using transesophageal ultrasound; the volume and mid-body cross-section of the CAD muscle was determined following computed tomography using Mimics™ with Livewire™. Our results indicate that cross-sectional area and muscle volume correlate very closely (R2 =0.70 and 0.77, respectively) with actual (ex vivo) muscle volume and weight and that muscle thickness based on transesophageal ultrasound has a fair correlation (table 1, figure 1).

Relationship between: mid-body cross-sectional area; muscle volume based on CT reconstruction and midbody muscle thickness based on transesophangeal assessment (all standardized on y-axis) against actual muscle volume ex vivo (x-axis). 174

Significance: These data demonstrate the ability of CT reconstruction to accurately determine muscle geometry in anesthetized horses. This is a crucial tool for investigating the response of the CAD muscle in novel treatments such as nerve muscle pedicle graft and a number of tissue engineering techniques. Muscle geometry correlates closely with the ability of the muscle to generate force. Our ability to measure both muscle geometry and laryngeal function (at treadmill exercise) was highlighted as a novel strength in a recent NIH-R21 critique. The data also show that TEU provides a fair estimate of muscle geometry when compared to ex vivo geometry. This was a key step in developing TEU as a tool for the early diagnosis of RLN (aim 3). In addition, based on this work an early collaboration has recently developed between the PI and Professor Martin Birchall, National Ear Nose and Throat Hospital, London, who is interesting in adapting the TEU technique to human patients and using it to predict the return of laryngeal function following nerve injury.

(Aim 2) Determine the relationship between laryngeal position and the presence or absence of DDSP at exercise in a clinical population presenting for poor performance. To date, we have complete data for 59 horses. We have identified two discrete populations of horses based on laryngohyoid position (based on radiographic evaluation) that correspond closely with the presence of absence of DDSP at exercise

(Figure 2). Horses with DDSP at exercise have a laryngohyoid position (all three reference points) that is more dorsal and more rostral than horses without DDSP.

Figure 2. Relationship between three markers of laryngohyoid position and the presence or absence of DDSP at exercise.

Significance: Multivariate analysis of these data demonstrates that we use this reference system to determine which horses have DDSP and which do not with 80% accuracy. This finding is extremely novel. It will allow us to screen horses for potential DDSP by a simple laryngeal radiograph. This will provide valuable information for trainers and owners considering referral for exercising endoscopy (treadmill or wireless examination). It also provides some clues towards the etiology of this common yet incompletely understood condition. We are continuing to collate data and are developing statistical tools (principle component and cluster analysis) with which to analyze the complete data set. 175

(Aim 3) Determine the relationship between cross-sectional area of the CAD muscle (transesophageal ultrasound), and laryngeal function at exercise Here we determine the relationship between the mid-body thickness of the left and right CAD muscle and laryngeal function at exercise. To date we have gathered data on n=59 horses with a spectrum of naturally occurring disease from normal function (grade A); 4 horses with partial collapse (grade B) and 7 horses with complete collapse (C). We have observed a decrease in the mid- body thickness of the left CAD muscle as exercising laryngeal grade worsens (figure 3). We also observe an unexpected increase in right CAD thickness in partially affected horses.

Significance: This is a very novel observation which suggests that compensation hypertrophy may be occurring. When these data are complete we will determine the sensitivity and specificity of CAD thickness for determining laryngeal function. This would be a very valuable tool for trainers considering a treadmill examination; would aid decision making for marginal surgical candidates and would provide preliminary data for a planned study designed to predict future disease in 2 year olds.

Publications: Two manuscripts have resulted from this work. The first represents the data for aims 1 and 3 together and is in review. The second reflects aim three and is currently in the final stages of review prior to submission. This work has also provided training for two large animal surgery residents (Alanna Zantigh and Mike Maher) and

176 a biomedical engineering undergraduate student (Melissa Kenny) This work stimulated the Melissa’s research interest and she is now a graduate student at Wake Forest, VA.

PROJECT TITLE: Detection of Spirochetes, Rickettsia, and other Bacteria and Parasitic Protozoa (oftenvector borne) that Cause Fevers of Unknown Origin in Horses in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Great Lakes areas of the US

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Dr. Linda Mittel with Dr. Amy Glaser

A. Progress Report Specific Aims: 1). Identify the presence of potential tick-transmitted (Anaplasma sp., Babesia sp, Borrelia sp, Ehrlichia sp., Rickettsia sp._ or other non-respiratory bacterial infections(Leptospira, Bartonella sp., Neorickettsia sp. ) in horses with FUO and controls from the same premise, in clinical practices In the North-East, Mid-Atlantic, and Great Lakes areas of the United States.

We have received 132 samples from all the areas of study. Although we were hoping to receive multiple samples from the same practices some practices sent a lower number than initially was suggested. We had been contacted by other practices that were interested in the study and due to lower number of samples received from the targeted practices, we accepted these additional samples from similar geographical areas. We also received samples without controls. We contacted the DVMs when possible and had a control animal sample sent even if not taken the same day as the initial sample .We identified 11 Anaplasma phagocytophilium positive samples and Neorickettsia risticii in 2 samples out of 132 cases.

2) Determine the correlation between the presence of identified agents with fever in the study subjects.We have not completed the complete study to determine this correlation.

3) Identify ticks and determine the prevalence of tick-associated pathogens in ticks in the same environment as the samples and control horses and determine the association between tick pathogen load and the likelihood of causing fever in horses from the participating locations.

We received 11 ticks. One tick was positive for Borrelia burdorferi and 5 ticks positive for Anaplasma.

B. Summary The collection of clinical samples for this project and testing for Borellia burgdorferi and Anaplasma phagocytophilum in clinical samples is completed. Because of concerns regarding the potential lack of sensitivity for direct detection of Bartonella species peripheral blood samples, samples from all EDTA and SPS sterile blood culture tubes submitted for cases and controls were cultured for 4 weeks in two bacterial growth medias used to propagate Bartonella sp. Samples were obtained from the cultures weekly for 4 weeks and frozen for later analysis.

180

Analysis of the collected samples for the detection additional pathogens listed above is in progress. Individual broad-based PCR amplification targeting Borrellia species, Rickettsia species, Bartonella species and Leptospira species has been performed for 95 of the clinical samples. Additionally, Bartonella species PCR has been performed on first week and final week cultures. Initial assessment of amplification products by high resolution melt curve analysis indicated that there are differences

181 between individual animals in the products produced. The identification of the amplified products will be resolved via sequence analysis. All amplification reactions for all targets will be pooled for each individual animal to create a barcoded sequencing library representing all products amplified. Because we will have one opportunity toresolve all of the sequence amplified for an individual sample, we are being very careful in the construction of the components of the library pool. Because of this, the elements of the library are taking longer than anticipated to complete.

C. Significance

Horses with FUOs that we sampled appear to have an additional agent causing the fever due to the few number of positive Anaplasma and Potomac horse fevers found. It is expected that we will find additional agents with the broad based PCR testing that we are doing that may be responsible for the fevers.

D. Publications and other grant submissions

Pending completion of the proposed study.

PROJECT TITLE: The Role of Platelets in the Pathogenesis of Equid herpes virus type-1 Infection

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Dr. Tracy Stokol

Specific Aims:

The aims have not been modified. However, it should be noted that we only began this project in early April when Dr. Yeo, the Postdoctoral Associate on the grant, was able to work on the grant (due to a different funding source for his salary before this time). We plan to ask for a no- cost extension in order to complete the work within the proposed time frame.

Studies & Results

Aim1:DirectactivationofequineplateletsbyEHV-1: Here we proposed to test whether EHV-1 bound to equine platelets, causing them to become activated, as shown by flow cytometric analysis for P selectin expression and phosphatiidylserine (PS) exposure on platelet surfaces.

We have spent most of our efforts on this Aim. We have found that EHV-1 strains, Ab4 and RacL11 (neuropathogenic and abortigenic strains, respectively) both induce platelet activation within 10 minutes of incubation with platelets at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 5.

Activation is characterized by robust expression of P selectin (a marker Figure 1A: Mean ± SD P selectin Figure 1B: Mean ± SD P selectin expression after 10 minutes of expression after 10 minutes of of alpha granule secretion or the incubation of platelets EHV-1 strains incubation of platelets with the Ab4 platelet release reaction, Figure 1A) RacL11 and Ab4 (MOI of 5).

P selectin expression also requires exogenous calcium. Preliminary performed RT-PCR for viral glycoprotein 2 have and shown that this viral gene product can be amplified from platelets, but not from controls (not shown), suggesting that the virus is binding to or being internalized by platelets. These results still need to be verified by additional experiments. Dr. Osterrieder, our collaborator in Germany, is sending us a viral strain that expresses RFP in its capsid, and we plan to use this fluorescent virus for verifying viral binding to platelets with flow cytometry.

184

Aim2:IndirectactivationofequineplateletsbyEHV-1-infectedmonocytes: Here we proposed to determine if EHV-1-infected monocytes activate platelets.

We have not begun this technically more difficult aim.

Aim3:IndirectactivationofequineplateletsbyEHV-1-infectedendothelialcells: Here we proposed to determine if platelets adhere to EHV-1-infected endothelial cells in a microfluidic device.

We have cultured primary equine carotid artery endothelial cells (CAEC) obtained from a horse in our microfluidic device. The CAEC grew within the device, but the particular cell line formed tubes in culture dishes and within the device. When we infused 6 um beads into the channel, fluid flow was restricted to one side of the channel (Figure 2). We are currently amplifying CAEC from another horse and will culture them within the device to determine if this problem is recapitulated. A single layer of CAEC is required to permit us to flow platelets over the cells. We do not see this problem with bovine CAEC Figure 2: Equine CAEC within a and are hoping that the problem is unique to the one horse. These microfluidic channel viewed under cells are challenging to work with because they grow slowly and, as a brightfield microscopy. CAEC (black arrow) primary cell line, cannot be passaged more than 2-3 times, limiting the formed a dense tube, restricting fluid flow to number of experiments that can be performed. If the problem is not the side of the channel (white arrow). horse-specific, we will vary channel dimensions and shear rates at which the cells are cultured in the channel to attempt to get a confluent CAEC lining within the channel.

Significance

We are excited to discover that EHV-1 activates platelets, by inducing P selectin expression and some PS exposure. This finding is of relevance because platelets play a crucial role in thrombosis, the cause of abortion and myeloencephalopathy due to EHV-1. If platelets are involved in the pathogenesis of these EHV-1-associated disease syndromes, administration of platelet inhibitors, e.g. clopidogrel, may prove useful in the treatment of infected horses.

Aim 1: There are now many more questions to answer regarding the mechanism of platelet activation in EHV-1. These are some (but not all) of the planned experiments: 1) Time course of incubation of virus with platelets: To determine if PS exposure increases with longer times; 2) Confirm binding of EHV-1 to platelets by using a mutant EHV-1 with a fluorescent capsid from Dr. Osterrieder; 3) Verification of preliminary RT-PCR results; 4) Elucidate mechanisms of calcium dependence of viral induced P selectin exposure; 5) Determine if platelet activation is unique to EHV-1 by testing EHV-4. Many of these additional experiments were not originally planned but are necessary to explain our exciting findings.

185

Aim 2: This more technically challenging Aim will be addressed when we have more understanding of the mechanisms responsible for direct viral activation of platelets (in Aim 1).

Aim 3: We are hoping to overcome difficulties with growing primary CAEC in the microfluidic device. If we cannot grow a confluent layer, we may infuse EHV-1-infected platelets (which are activated) over bovine CAEC. Although the use of a heterologous system is not ideal, at least it will allow us to answer whether viral-activated platelets show increased binding to endothelial cells, which would predispose to thrombosis and potentially inflammation.

PROJECT TITLE: A Novel Strategy to Boost Antibody Production to EHV-1 in Neonates

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Bettina Wagner & Gillian Perkins

Specific Aims: If the aims have not been modified, state this. If they have been modified, give the revised aims and the reason for the modification. Please note that substantial changes must be reviewed by the Associate Dean for Research & Graduate Education as directed by the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund postaward guidelines.

The specific aims have not been modified. In this project, we investigate the hypothesis that antigen-specific activation of basophils and production of the cytokine interleukin-4 by activated basophils is a major pathway to induce antibody production in foals after birth. The hypothesis is tested by two specific aims.

In Aim1, we proposed to generate antibody/EHV-1 antigen complexes that mediate activation of basophils in vitro. Five EHV-1 antigens previously known to induce antibody responses were planned to be expressed and tested. Basophils were isolated, loaded with antibody and activated with EHV-1 antigens. Basophil activation was evaluated by cytokine induction. In this aim, we also proposed the development of a sensitive EHV-1 antigen- specific assay with the goal to improve the evaluation of EHV-1 antibody responses in horses.

Currentresults: We have expressed four of the five EHV-1 antigens (gB, gC, gD, gG). Expression of the fifth antigen (gp2) is still ongoing. The first two expressed antigens (gC and gD) have been administered to the neonatal foals in June 2012 (see Aim 2). They were also used to perform in vitro experiments to further test the underlying principle of this project. Basophils were enriched from peripheral blood, IgE was loaded on the cells by o/n incubation and stimulation with antigen was performed to induce IL-4 secretion from basophils (Figure 1). This confirmed that high concentrations of B-cell stimulatory IL-4 can be induced from basophils in an antigen-specific way and by using our ‘immune tools’. We determined the optimal IgE and EHV-1 antigen concentration and continued with the in vivo experiment (aim 2).

Figure 1: In vitro binding of IgE to basohils (A) and stimulation of IL-4 secretion from basophils after IgE cross-linking

(B). Different concentrations of IgE

188

and antigen for IgE crosslinking were tested to determine optimal concentrations for the in vivo experiment in aim 2.

The gC and gD antigens were used to develop a multiplex assay for detection of EHV-1 antibodies in serum. Previously tested serum samples with known SN-values ranging from <2 to 768 were used to validate the fluorescent bead-based multiplex assay. These samples were also used to optimize serum and antibody concentrations for the EHV-1 multiplex assay. SN-titers and multiplex results highly correlated (Figure 2). The multiplex assay allows for a more accurate and fully quantitative determination of antibodies to EHV-1 and can also be modified, e.g. for the analysis of equine immunoglobulin isotypes.

Figure 2: Correlation of SN-titers and EHV- 1 multiplex results in equine serum. The multiplex assay uses recombinant gC and gD antigens of EHV-1 to simultaneously measure antibodies to both surface glycoproteins. Each of the EHV-1 antigens is coupled to a specific fluorescent color-coded bead to distinguish between the individual assays. We used 58 pretested equine sera with SN-values between <2 to 768 to validate the multiplex assay. Sera are diluted at 1:400. The multiplex assay results are reported as median fluorescence intensities (MFI). Spearman rank correlations for both the gC and gD assays are 0.87.

Nextsteps: We will continue to express gp2 antigen and will add the remaining three assays to the multiplex assay. The final assay will be used to evaluate all serum and nasal secretion samples obtained from foals enrolled in Aim 2. Since the foals were treated after birth with EHV- 1 gC and gD only, the assay will also provide a valuable tool to distinguish antibodies induced by this treatment compared to those induced by infection. Because of the assay’s excellent performance, it can be used for advanced and more rapid detection of EHV-1 antibodies. It is very likely that the assay will be offered through the AHDC in the future.

Aim 2 was to test the potential of a novel neonatal vaccination strategy in foals directly after birth. We gave IgE to foals from EHV-1 naïve mares within the first 6 hours after birth. At day 2, foals obtained EHV-1 antigen to induce antibody production. After weaning, protective immunity will be evaluated by challenge infection with EHV-1. Clinical signs, viral loads and EHV-1 specific humoral and cellular immunity will be evaluated.

Currentresults: We perform the first part of this Aim in foals that were born this summer (June 2012) at Cornell. Their dams were imported to Cornell in February 2012 and came from Iceland. Iceland is free of EHV-1. The SPF-status of the horses was maintained by isolated housing at Cornell. Consequently, the foals did not obtain EHV-1 specific antibodies from their dams via colostrum. This 189 allowed us to determine the foal’s endogenous EHV-1 immune response in the absence of maternal EHV-1 specific immunity. Fifteen foals were placed in 3 groups. Group 1 received IgE orally during the first 3 hours after birth and EHV-1 antigen on day 2 of life. Group

2 received EHV-1 antigen on day 2 but no IgE. Group 3 was not treated. Blood and nasal swab samples were/are constantly taken from the foals. IL-4 expression by neonatal foal basophils was confirmed after birth. Preliminary data (SN-titers) also indicate that antibody responses were initiated in foal group 1, i.e. by oral IgE treatment followed by EHV-1 antigen stimulation on day 2. The SN-titer in group 1 foals that received IgE and antigen was significantly higher than the SN-titers of the other two foal groups (Figure 3).

Figure 3: SN-titer comparison in neonatal foal groups between day 2 (before EHV-1 antigen treatment) and day 5 after birth. IgE was administered to group 1 directly after birth. EHV-1 antigen was given to groups 1 and 2 on day 2 of life. Serum for SN-titer determination was taken before EHV-1 antigen injection on day 2 and on day 5 after birth. SN-titers on day 5 are expressed as fold-differences compared to the SN-value of each respective foal on day 2 (set as 1/dotted line).

Next steps: The experimental infection study with EHV-1 (NY03 strain) is planned for December 2012 to test if the initiation of the B-cell response at birth provides a priming effect on the foal’s immune system that results in protection from clinical signs, reduces EHV-1 shedding and increases immunity after challenge with the virus. We also continue to measure immune parameters in all foals and evaluate the experimental data obtained thus far. In particular, the samples (sera and nasal secretion) will also be measured using the EHV-1 multiplex assay described in Aim1. Cellular immunity is monthly evaluated using a cytokine secretion assay and by flow cytometry.

B. Studies & Results

Describe the studies directed toward specific aims during the current budget year and the positive and negative results obtained. If applicable, address any changes to the innovative potential of the project. If technical problems were encountered in carrying out this project, describe how your approach was modified.

Positiveresults: The principles of EHV-1 specific IL-4 induction in neonatal basophils could be confirmed. Preliminary data suggest that IgE and EHV-1 antigen administration to neonatal foals initiated an EHV-1 specific antibody response.

Negativeresults: Antigen expression of three EHV-1 antigens got delayed for three antigens. Two of them are by now expressed. The third antigen (gp2) seems to be a little more challenging but expression is ongoing. The delay in expression did not result in major changes of the experiment. We

190 used the first two recombinant antigens (gC and gD) for treatment of the neonatal foals which is sufficient to perform the experiments and to obtain proof-of-principle for the proposed novel vaccination strategy in neonates.

The Innovativepotential of this project is very high. Current vaccines (EHV-1 and all other commercial vaccines for horse) are recommended to be used at 5-6 months of age because they simply do not induce any immune responses in younger foals. An alternative mechanism to induce adaptive immunity early in life and to develop a respective vaccination strategy has a very high potential not only to improve protection against EHV-1 in horses but also for neonatal vaccination in general.

Thus far, modifications to the approach were not made. Major technical problems were not encountered.

C. Significance

During the past 9 months of this project, we obtained the first proof-of-principle that our novel strategy of inducing EHV-1 specific IL-4 responses in basophils may indeed induce adaptive immunity in neonatal foals. If the preliminary findings can be confirmed and protection from disease can be shown by our treatment strategy, this is a completely novel finding. It provides a mechanism and strategy to improve neonatal vaccination and immunity that has not been considered elsewhere.

This is included in section A at the end of each aim (‘next steps’). The project will be continued as planned and outlined in the main proposal.

PROJECT TITLE: Innate Immune Mechanisms and T-Cell Responses to Equine Herpesvirus Type 1 in Latently Infected and Naïve Horses

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR(S): Dr. Bettina Wagner, Dr. Gillian Perkins

SUMMARY/DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT:

Equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1) outbreaks continue to occur in the US despite the wide use of vaccination. Although disease outbreaks have been rapidly detected and were professionally managed to prevent wider distribution of disease, a more effective EHV-1 vaccine is needed to reduce the impact of this virus on equine health and economic losses in the equine industry. The long-term goal of our group is to identify specific EHV-1 genes as new targets for vaccines that improve adaptive cellular immunity in horses. Adaptive cellular immunity, and in particular T-cell immunity, is considered to provide protection against EHV-1. Current vaccines were shown to induce robust humoral immunity (antibody responses) but fail or are of low efficacy in providing cellular adaptive immunity. Existing vaccines clearly helped to decrease respiratory disease and abortion storms in horses. However, they largely failed in preventing the repeated severe neurological outbreaks we have faced in the US during the past few years.

In the project preceding this proposal, we investigated immune modulating effects of different EHV-1 genes on equine peripheral blood cells in vitro. In collaboration with Dr. Osterrieder’s group in Berlin, we designed deletion mutants of EHV-1 that were lacking specific viral genes

(e.g. ORF1/2, UL49.5, or ICP0). The EHV-1 deletion mutants were then cultured with equine blood cells to evaluate their in vitro effects on innate cellular immunity and EHV-1 specific T-cell stimulation. All three genes significantly modified cellular immune responses to EHV-1 and induced less ‘danger signals’ (type I interferon and chemokine responses) compared to the wild type EHV-1 strain. High induction of adaptive T-cell immunity was observed for the ORF1/2 deletion mutant. ORF1/2 genes of EHV-1 are expected to alter antigen-presentation. T-cell initiation depends on the antigen-presentation process. Therefore, we developed the hypothesis that the deletion of the ORF1/2 genes from the EHV-1 virus is likely to improve T-cell immunity, protection against EHV-1 and severe disease induced by current EHV-1 strains.

In this project, we propose to analyze in vivo whether the ORF1/2 deletion mutant indeed induces increased adaptive cellular immunity and protection against EHV-1 in horses (Aim 1). We will also continue to analyze the underlying immune principles that lead to the observed immune activation by EHV-1 deletion mutants with focus on ORF1/2 (Aim 2). To perform this project, our team of investigators includes EHV-1 experts from various disciplines: Dr. Perkins (Large Animal Internist, Co-PI) will be responsible for all clinical aspects of this project. As collaborators on this project, Drs. Osterrieder (Virologist and world-leading EHV-1 expert) and Dr. Van der Walle (Virologist and well established young investigator in EHV-1 research) will contribute with expertise, specific tools and methods to the virologic parts of the project. Dr. Wagner (Immunologist, PI) will oversee the project and will be responsible for all immunologic 193 aspects of the study. Dr. Van der Walle will join the Baker Institute faculty as an Assistant Professor in January 2013. Dr. Wagner’s and Dr. Osterrieder’s group have worked collaborative on EHV-1 research during the past five year, i.e. while Dr. Osterrieder was still at Cornell and since he is in Berlin, Germany.

To perform Aim 1 of this project, we will use horses from our SPF-herd originating from Iceland. This herd is currently kept at Cornell and provides a unique group of horses that have not been previously exposed to EHV-1. EHV-1 and many other common US horse pathogens do not exist in Iceland. The herd is kept under specific restrictions (access only for project associated personnel, no contact to other horses, etc.) at Cornell to maintain the EHV-1 negative status. The EHV-1 status (humoral and cellular immunity) of the animals is constantly monitored.

The immediate goal of this project is to provide proof-of-principle for the efficacy of a new vaccine candidate (Ab4ΔORF1/2) for EHV-1. Based on our accumulated immunological data from in vitro studies during the past few years, the Ab4ΔORF1/2 deletion mutant is a very promising EHV-1 vaccine candidate with a clear potential to lead to protection against neurological disease (myeloencephalopathy) and, in the long-term, an overall better protection against EHV-1 in the horse population.

This project is a continuation proposal. Our project on innate and adaptive immunity to EHV-1 has been funded by the Zweig Memorial Fund for the past three years. It resulted in 4 peer- reviewed publications and 4 presentations at conferences. Additional manuscripts are in preparation. We submitted an EHV-1 proposal twice to the NIH (not funded). We plan to submit a proposal extending this project (focusing on the other deletion mutants) to USDA/NIFA at the end of this year for potential funding in summer 2013 (or 2014 if re-submitted). The NIFA call for proposal is scheduled for September this year.

PROJECT TITLE: Controlled postponement of ovulation by progestagen treatment

PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Robert O. Gilbert

Summary: The overall goal of this research was to postpone ovulation in mares in a predictable way by using exogenous prostagen administration during the preovulatory period. To achieve optimal fertility in mares, mating or insemination should occur close to (ideally, immediately before) ovulation of the mare. Means of controlling ovulation time are therefore desirable to effectively manage breeding mares by allowing ovulation to occur in proximity to availability of popular stallions or shipped semen. Some strategies allow for advancement of ovulation time (e.g. administration of human chorionic gonadotrophin [hCG]), but there is currently no means of delaying imminent ovulation. Such a tool would be valuable in breeding management of thoroughbred horses as well as breeds that allow artificial insemination with shipped semen. This project tested the ability of two progestagens, oral administration of altrenogest (Regumate®) or an intravaginal progesterone-releasing device (CIDR, Pfizer) to delay ovulation and the effects of treatment on estrus behavior and fertility.

Specifically, the research tested the following hypotheses. Administration of progestagens would

1. retard follicular growth; 2. delay ovulation; 3. allow normal estrus behavior; 4. be followed by normal development of a functional corpus luteum, and 5. would not depress pregnancy rates markedly.

To achieve this, we followed 12 cyclic mares during the natural breeding season by daily transrectal ultrasonography and teasing. Once mares were in estrus and with a dominant follicle of 35 mm or greater in diameter, they were allocated in random order to two cycles of each of: no treatment (control), oral altrenogest at 0.044 mg/kg/d for two days, or application of a CIDR for two days. Estrus behavior, follicular growth rate and tiem of ovulation were determined and recorded. Mares were bred with fresh diluted semen from a single stallion (500 million progressively motile sperm) every 48 hours, beginning at detection of a 35 mm follicle for control cycles and starting the day after completion of the progestagen treatment in treatment cycles. Cervical tone and uterine fluid accumulation as well as vaginal inflammation were also recorded. Pregnancy was determined by transrectal ultrasonography 12 days after ovulation. Daily blood samples will be assayed for progesterone concentraion from ovulation until Day

12 after ovulation.

This allowed comparison of estrus behavior, follicular growth rate, time of ovulation, luteal function, and pregnancy rate with the two treatments in comparison to the control group, and allow an assessment of whether this represents a viable strategy for commercial horse breeding.

Specific Aims and Findings: Specific Aims: 197

The specific aims of this project were to measure the effect of each of two exogenous progestagens (oral altrenogest or intravaginal application of a CIDR) on: 1. Time to ovulation 2. Follicular growth rate (and size of preovulatory follicle) 3. Estrus behavior 4. Postovulatory luteal function 5. Pregnancy rate

Findings: That experiment sought to evaluate use of progestagens, specifically intravaginal CIDR® (EZI- BREED®, Pfizer) or oral altrenogest (Regumate®), for controlled postponement of ovulation in mares. Mares were randomly assigned to treatment groups when the dominant follicle reached 35 mm in diameter, were treated for 2 days (control group received no treatment), and then are bred every 48 h until ovulation. Signs of estrus and ultrasonographic findings were recorded.

Neither altrenogest nor the CIDR delayed ovulation (Figure 1) and the size of the ovulatory follicle was not affected by treatment (Figure 2)

In addition to having no effect on time of ovulation, altrenogest treatment tended to reduce the chance of pregnancy (Figure 7; P = 0.09). We knew when planning this trial that only a major effect on fertility would be identifiable, which makes this finding quite important. Use of progestins to postpone ovulation should be vigorously discouraged, both because it lacks efficacy and because it threatens successful establishment of pregnancy. This means that practitioners still lack an effective method of postponement of ovulation.

This study also enabled us to determine progesterone concentrations brought about in horses by use of CIDRs. These values are shown in Figure 9.

Additional findings were (1) that altrenogest treatment increased the likelihood that the mare would accumulate intrauterine fluid in the periovulatory period, another negative consequence, and (2) the observation that progesterone concentrations were higher in pregnant than in non- pregnant mares on Day 5 after ovulation, regardless of treatment.

Significance: Progesterone supplementation, already used by some practitioners for postponement of ovulation, should be actively discouraged. In addition to being ineffective, it depresses pregnancy rates. The mechanism of disruption of fertility is not mediated by impaired function of the corpus luteum. CIDRs will maintain progesterone concentrations of greater than 3 ng/ml for at least 2 days in horses. Horses tolerate CIDRs well.

Pr esen ting Au thor: LindsayN.Theodore,

Like other domestic mammals, the horse has significant variation in body size; this is seen when one compares the very smallest breeds such as the American Miniature to draft breeds like the Percheron. Although the genetics of size is extremely complicated in naturally repro- ducing species such as humans, we and others have recently shown that size genetics is highly simplified in domestic mammals like dogs. With this in mind, we sought to identify patterns of genetic control that may be conserved among domestic mammals. We identified five quan- titative trait loci for horse body size in a pair of genome-wide association scans using both Thoroughbreds and extreme-sized breeds. With the goal of fine-mapping these loci to identify causal variants for size, in the present work we have whole-genome sequenced two horses (American Miniature and Percheron), discovered millions of putative sequence variants, and validated a subset of them. We find that these variants are experimentally validated at a high rate, and we also find several plausible candidate variants.

3 (#2) - Equid herpesvirus type 1 activates equine platelets

Thrombosis of spinal and placental vessels results in the clinical syndromes of equid herpesvirus type 1(EHV-1) myeloencephalopathy and abortion. The mechanisms by which EHV-1 causes thrombosis in some infected horses are unknown. Platelets are integral to the production of both normal fibrin clots and pathologic thrombi. Activated platelets release stored coagulation factors, express phosphatidylserine (PS) on their membranes, and shed membrane- derived microparticles (MP), all of which promote thrombus formation. We hy- pothesize that EHV-1 directly causes platelet activation. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was obtained by low speed centrifugation of platelet-leukocyte-rich plas- ma derived from 3.2% citrate-anticoagulated equine blood. PRP was incubated for 10 minutes with two EHV-1 strains (abortifacient RacL11 and neuropatho- genic Ab4) at multiplicities of infection (MOI) of 1 and 5. Virus was purified from rabbit kidney (RK) cell lysates by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Throm- bin (0.015 U/mL) and convulxin (0.5 ug/mL)-stimulated platelets and vehicle or mock-infected RK lysate-treated platelets were positive and negative controls, respectively. Platelet activation was assessed by membrane P-selectin (an alpha granule protein) and PS expression using flow cytometry. We found that both EHV-1 strains activated platelets in a MOI-dependent fashion, with P-selectin and PS expression occurring in an average of 44-96% and 3-28% of platelets, respectively. P-selectin expression required exogenous calcium and was inhib- ited by hirudin, a thrombin antagonist. Preliminary results with qPCR analysis using primers for viral glycoprotein B suggest that EHV-1 binds to platelets. Our results indicate that EHV-1 activates equine platelets, likely through direct binding. Exposure of platelets to EHV-1 in vivo may activate platelets, which could contribute to the thrombus formation that occurs in some infected hors- es.

4 (#3) Unveiling the B Cell Hematopoiesis Block in Equine Common Variable Immunodeficiency

Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) in horses is characterized by a late- onset depletion of B cells, decreased serum IgM and IgG concentrations, and recur- rent bacterial infections. The phenotype of equine CVID is similar to that of CVID- affected humans who lack B cells. In the horse patients, B cells fail to develop in the bone marrow. The index equine CVID case was diagnosed 12 years ago, and CVID accounts for approximately 10% of the samples submitted to the Equine Immunology Laboratory for immunological testing. Our objective here is to investigate the extent of B cell differentiation in the bone marrow of affected horses. Quantitative RT-PCR was used to measure mRNA expression of genes and transcription factors known to be essential for successful B cell differentiation and survival. Transcriptome se- quencing was undertaken to obtain a comprehensive view of gene expression in the bone marrow. MethylSeq was performed to compare the genome-wide methylation status between CVID and healthy horses. Analysis of bone marrow mRNA expres- sion from CVID horses revealed a significant decrease in E2A expression and a dras- tic decrease in PAX5 expression with both qRT-PCR and transcriptome meth- ods. Differential methylation of the PAX5 gene body was identified by MethylSeq in bone marrow from CVID patients. In conclusion, the block in B cell hematopoiesis in the bone marrow of CVID patients occurs at the transition from pre-pro B cells to pro-B cells, and may be due to a difference in the epigenetic status of key B cell genes.

5 (#4) TComparison of PRP to an Extended Stability Platelet Production for Treatment of Tendonitis and Demitis

Jessica Cross; Lisa Fortier, Department of Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14850. Presenting Author: Jessica Cross

The purpose of this work was to compare PRP: Arthrex ACP Double Syringe System and high molecular weight hyaluronan or HA on expression of anabolic and catabolic genes as well as inflammatory mediators in OA cartilage and synoviocytes. The hypothesis was that both ACP and PRP would decrease catabolism and increase anabolism in comparisons to controls, but the magnitude of effect would be greater with ACP in comparison to HA. Human knee carti- lage and synovial membrane was procured from patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty and ACP was generated from blood donors using the Arthrex Double Syringe System.

Cartilage and synoviocytes were treated with ACP, HA, or culture media for 96 hours. The results obtained revealed that pain relief after PRP or HA could be through a decrease in TGF-a expression, which is a mediator of acute inflammation and an activator of MMPs. PRP can also decrease pain and inflammation through an effect on MMP-13 by increasing produc- tion of hyluronan synthase. HA did not provide this benefit. There were minimal effects on cartilage matrix metabolism by both PRP or HA but matrix molecule expression can be in- creased or decreased depending on stage of OA.

6 #(5) Culture Conditions Supportive of B Cell Differentiation from Equine CD34+ Hematopoietic Stem Cells.

The development of an in vitro system for the generation of B cells is critical for our studies on common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), a late-onset condition that impairs B cell de- velopment in the bone marrow (BM). The B cell development from hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is initiated by niches of BM stromal cells that supply specific factors and cytokines, and regulated by transcription factors and epigenetic modifications. We investigated how eq- uine B cells differentiate in vitro from CD34+ HSCs in the presence or absence of MS-5 mu- rine stromal cells. When equine CD34+ HSCs were cultured on MS-5 cells for 4 weeks, fewer (< 50.7% CD19+ cells) B cells were generated than in the absence of stromal cells but in the presence of their pre-conditioned medium and cytokines (>77% CD19+ cells). The addition of different cytokine combinations and a higher number of HSCs seeded at the beginning of co- culture did not result in an increase in B cell precursors. However, stromal cell pre- conditioned media with additional cytokines stimulated B lymphocyte development. Using an adhesive slide assay, monoclonal antibodies and immunocytofluorescence microscopy, we characterized the generated equine B cell precursors and distinguished B cell developmental stages. Our future experiments aim to sort the cells from each developmental stage for subse- quent quantitative analysis of B cell differentiation gene expression and epigenetic studies. Our goal is to apply the same system to support B cell differentiation from HSCs harvested from horses with CVID. While rescuing their B cell development in vitro, we hope to identify the mechanism that impairs B cell production in vivo.

7 (#6) A Regenerative Medicine Approach to Reconstruction of the Equine Larynx

The upper airway of horses must be able to resist large fluctuations in airway and wall pressure during exercise. Phar- yngeal and laryngeal collapses at exercise are common causes of airway obstruction in horses. Treatment of those con- ditions is well established and relatively successful if the laryngeal cartilages are normal. However, when the epiglot- tic or arytenoid cartilages are deformed due to an inflammatory process, the treatments options and success are lim- ited. A regenerative medicine approach to reconstruction may provide the capability to stabilize pathologic laryngeal struc- tures. Decellularization of intact laryngeal tissues has recently been described (Baiguera et al, 2011). Hypothesis Equine laryngeal cartilages are suitable for decellularization process to obtain extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffolds to be implanted in pathologic subjects so to improve constructive remodeling response of diseased native cartilages.

Objectives The aims of this preliminary study were: - to evaluate the efficacy of a decellularization approach in obtaining bioengineered scaffolds from equine laryn- geal cartilages. - to characterize the biocompatibility of the decellularized laryngeal samples in a pre-clinical evaluation model. -to evaluate the scaffold materials as upper airway implants in an equine clinical pilot study, exploring the tech- nical feasibility to implant decellularized cartilage in a high motion and non-sterile environment.

Materials and Methods All animal procedures complied with the guidelines provided by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee. Part I: Equine laryngeal cartilages, harvested from adult horses (3-5 years old) immediately following euthanasia, were frozen, thawed, and decellularized using the method described by Remlinger et al (2010). Following decellulari- zation, the samples were lyophilized and sterilized. Decellularization was assessed qualitatively by histology per- formed on scaffolds samples (H&E stains) and quantitatively by determining DNA content by PicoGreen assay. Part II: Samples were surgically implanted subcutaneously in the neck of ten donkeys, and harvested 4 weeks later. The animal clinical status was evaluated daily, including documentation of the length, width, and height of any post- surgical swelling around the implantation site. The histopathological appearance of the tissue as assessed by multiple stains (H&E stain, Safranin O, Verhoeff’s stain, and Masson Trichrome) was graded.

Part III: In a subsequent pilot study the decellularized scaffold material was placed into three separate sites within the larynx of one horse: the body of each arytenoid cartilage and the rostral half of the epiglottis. A decellularized porcine urinary bladder matrix (UBM) was placed to cover the surface of the scaffolds. Clinical status was evaluated daily while video laryngoscopy was performed once a week starting from day 1, to document the laryngeal function and the macroscopic appearance of the implantation sites during the healing process. Laryngeal ultrasound was performed bilaterally to assess the arytenoids cartilages.

At 28 days after surgery, implants were removed and fixed in formaldehyde 10% solution for histo-pathologic evalua- tion. Hematoxylin and eosin, Safranin O, and Verhoeff’s elastic stain were used to examine overall tissue structure, maintenance of glycosaminoglycan content, and elastin organization, respectively. All results were compared to na- tive tissues as a control.

8 Results √ Through the decellularization process the samples maintained their ultrastructural and 3- dimensional architecture but epithelial and glandular cells were removed from the larynge- al matrix and only few chondrocytes were still visible in the samples; on average there was a 88% reduction in dsDNA content. √ The samples implanted subcutaneously in the donkey were minimally degraded by one month post implantation, no foreign body response or fibrotic encapsulation was detected. √ The horse recovered uneventfully from surgery. Endoscopic assessment at rest revealed that the respiratory and protective functions of the laryngeal structures were preserved, despite the moderate swelling of the structures due to the initial inflammatory response. Overtime the swelling decreased and the UBM remodeled and retracted, being replaced by healthy mucosal layer. √ On histology, the implants placed in the equine upper airway were replaced by dense con- nective tissue, newly growth vascular and glandularstructures, and an epithelial layer cov- ering the sites. No histologic sign of bacterial infection was detected.

Discussio n The results of the present study demonstrate the feasibility of a scaffold based regenerative medi- cine approach to reconstruction of the equine upper airway. These preliminary results of implanta- tion are promising, however further studies investigating alternative decellularization protocols, long-term integration, and potential formation of new cartilage are needed.

To prevent the deadly neurologic form of equine herpesvirus type I (EHV-1), recombinant vaccines are nec- essary to circumvent viral immune evasion while preserving neuro-antigenicity. Several viral proteins are thought to play a role in circumventing the horse’s immune defenses. Mutations of three of these proteins in a complete infectious neuropathogenic EHV-1 clone were assessed for their contribution to immune modula- tion in ex vivo virus re-stimulated equine PBMC. An ORF1/2 (homolog of pUL56) mutant of neuropatho- genic strain Ab4 produced significantly different responses in cells from naïve horses and horses with pre- existing immunity from repeated infections. Induction of Type I and II interferons as well as both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines were substantially reduced compared to the parental strain. Another viral clone lacking the UL49.5 protein was reduced in type I interferon induction. A mutant of infected cell protein 0 (ICP0) had varying profiles between previously exposed and naïve horsed; lack of this protein was also a sig- nificant inhibitor to viral growth in vitro. These results suggest that EHV-1ΔORF1/2, alone or possibly in combination with other mutations, may provide a strong vaccine candidate.

Equine motor neuron disease (EMND) is a neurodegenerative disorder of unknown etiology affecting horses worldwide. Studies have demonstrated abnormal aggregates of Trans- Active Response DNA Binding Protein of 43 kDa (TDP-43) in the central nervous system (CNS) of several neurodegenerative conditions in humans including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Although the role of these proteins in the pathogenesis of ALS is not fully under- stood, it is accepted that these proteins are ubiquinated, accumulate in the neuronal cytoplasm and hence, may play role in the risk of the disease. We carried out a study to examine wheth- er horses afflicted with EMND express the TDP-43 in CNS. Detection of presence of TDP-43 protein in the CNS was analyzed by immunohistochemical staining using rabbit anti-human TARDBP (TDP-43) polyclonal antibody. Formalin fixed neuronal tissues from medulla, cer- vical, and lumbar spinal cord were harvested from EMND and from control horses. Sections were assigned randomly to TDP-43 treated or rabbit anti-IgG as control.

Nuclear staining of TDP-43 was detected in one of the neural tissues of 75% of EMND- positive and 0 of 0% of control horses in the central nervous system (medulla, and/or cervical spinal cord and/or lumbar spinal cord). TDP-43 antibody was detected in the nucleus of EMND horses and no cytoplasmic staining was noted. As in ALS, there was no pattern of age clustering associated with the detection of TDP-43.

This is the first report on the staining of TDP-43 in neuronal tissues of horses and suggests that TDP-43 may play a role in the pathogenesis of EMND. Identification of a marker(s) that is commonly found in neurodegenerative diseases of man and animals may shed light in understanding the mechanism and treatment of these diseases.
