8 Arizona Thoroughbred | April/May/June ✯✯✯ 2013 JULEP CUP BLOODHORSE AWARD✯✯✯ CONGRATULATIONS LEE VAUGHN FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THOROUGHBRED INDUSTRY

Photo left to right: President Kevin Owens is Presenting this years Julep Cup Award to Mr. Lee Vaughn, Brian & Alexia Jo Calvert, and Wende Macumber.

ee Vaughn was very surprised and a bit emotional when he realized that Wende Macumber was describing the history and passions of a Police Officer who served on the San Diego Police Department for more than 25 years. Lee is now a retired Captain from the police force and is spending his time managing a small stallion farm in Seligman, Arizona HeL started with horses at a young age, but they were not his only passion in life. During his time working on the force, Lee’s interests in Thoroughbreds were put on hold. His family came to the fore front of his passions, as he and his loving wife Elaine had three wonderful children, which Lee speaks proudly of at any chance he gets.

Although, rasing his family took first place in his heart, the Thoroughbreds had always kept a hoof print in his thoughts. He currently owns and operates a farm with his daughter Alexia Jo and son-in-law Brian Calvert. At the farm, he breeds a few mares to his stallions and sells the yearlings at our sale and sometimes keeps a select few to race. In 2011, one of his homebreds named Ten Ninety Seven, won the $50,000 Gene Fleming Breeders’ Derby. It was a very proud and exciting moment for Lee. His Thoroughbred aspirations had paid him dividends of joy.

Upon his retirement, Lee has achieved a life long dream of breeding and racing his own bloodline of Thoroughbreds. He has made many contributions to the Breeders Association and has played a big part in bringing our board matters to a win-win resolution. Lee has been an integral part of our industry and has filled many positions as a Jockey, Owner, Breeder, and ATBA Board Director through out his lifetime with horses.

Mr. Vaughn’s early encounters with horse racing was learning the basics from leading trainers Pops & Paul Oliver. Lee not only loves the horses, he loves the people involved with them. He is always willing to help and provide his expertise to our ATBA members. Lee has spent countless hours traveling to attend our board meetings and has made sure that the Arizona Breeders and Owners are represented well. His contributions of time and energy has made Arizona Thoroughbreds successful today.

The ATBA was honored to present Mr. Lee Vaughn with this Award and to let him know that his hard work has not been unnoticed. The Julep Cup Award is graciously donated by The Bloodhorse and is given to individuals that have made an impact on our industry in Arizona. ◆

Arizona Thoroughbred | April/May/June 17 2013 Breeder of the Year Congratulations Triple AAA Ranch Total Progeny Earnings $488,819

Triple AAA Ranch is a timeless oasis in the north part of Glendale, Arizona. The Ranch is located just a few miles west of Turf Paradise on Thunderbird Road. This prime stretch of real estate has the most peaceful green pastures and are filled with beauti- ful Thoroughbreds. It’s a pleasure to take a drive pass the ranch to see the cute foals nuzzling their mother’s or frolicking in the lush paddocks.

Triple AAA Ranch has a rich history of breeding Arizona’s most sought after racing bloodlines. Richard Owens began with Crafty Drone as his foundation stallion. Triple AAA Ranch pays tribute to their careful study and nicking of bloodlines. Their successful crosses of homebred mares and stallions have been a great contribution to the Thoroughbred racing industry. The grand dam of the breeding program has been French Debutante who has won several “Broodmare of the Year Awards”, as her progeny has total earnings that have topped most other mares in our state. Owens currently stands Top Hit and EZ Dreamer at his Glendale ranch and he owns other quality stallions such as Rocky Bar and Uh Oh Bango, which stand at E.A. Ranches in California.

We have already seen some of the photos of foals from the freshman stallion Uh Oh Bango published in the California breed- ers magazines, as well as the new Rocky Bar foals. Last year Rocky Bar’s progeny dominated the ATBA Sales Stakes Futurities (Spring & Fall), the Arizona Breeders Futurities and Cactus Flower Stakes. Now on the horizon is Top Fortitude’s racing career. He is sired by Top Hit out of French Debutante and recently won a $100,500 Grade III Stakes at Santa Anita.

Spring has always been a great time of the year to view the up and coming yearlings at Triple AAA Ranch, as much as their new born foals. History and the future of Arizona Thoroughbreds are always in the making at the ranch. Richard Owens is com- mitted to his Arizona home and his breeding program. He recognizes his longtime manager Juan Martinez, and gives credit to his staff Adolfo Martinez, Roberto Martinez, Refugio Escobar and Cathy Cologna for its success. Every year Triple AAA Ranch is honored nationally, with the Bloodhorse. The operation has received the Arizona Breeder of the Year Award 27 times and again it is an honor to present Richard Owens and his family with this award. ◆

40 Arizona Thoroughbred | April/May/June Legislation Report By: Susie Stevens, ATBA Lobbyist

In the Senate budget that was released on March 28, 2014, the Breeders’ Award money ($250,000) was included.

Sec 78. Arizona Department of Racing 2014-15 FTE positions 40.5 Operating lump sum appropriation $2,895,900 Arizona Breeders’ Award $ 250,000 County fairs livestock and Agricultural promotion $1,779,500 Total appropriation - Department of Racing $4,925,400 Fund sources: State General Fund $2,029,500 Racing Regulation Fund $2,895,900

The amount appropriated to the county fairs livestock and agricultural promotion line item is for deposit in the county fairs livestock and agricultural promotion fund administered by the office of the governor. ❖

Arizona Governor signed Senate Bill 1282 for Advance Deposit Wagering. Senate Bill 1282 for Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) was signed by Arizona Governor Jan K. Brewer on May 5, 2014. This was great news for the track owners and horsemen. However, Governor Brewer line-item vetoed the appropriation, which would have appropriated $1.2 million to the Arizona Breeders’ Award Fund and County Fair Racing Fund. This veto was expected by the horse breeders as the Governor is trying to mar- shal resources to fund child safety reform.

Going forward with this new law adds advance deposit wagering for horse and dog racing in our state. The ADW will allow bettors to place their monies into an account, which will be managed by a third party and regulated by the Arizona Racing Commission. The owner of the account will be able to place bets on live rac- ing and on simulcast racing telephonically. Note that, internet wagering is prohibited.

Horse owners and breeders were hoping that this alternate form of pari-mutuel wagering could create more funding for economic growth within the horse farms and horse breeding industry. Until, the ADW is officially implemented, we will not know what kind of economic stimulus effect it will have.

“Hopefully the ADW provisions will result in additional monies for us and the $250,000 appropriations for the Breeders’ Awards will remain.” .....Quote by Susie Stevens, ATBA Lobbyist

Weekend winning the Coyote Handicap, racing must have made him hang up his skates. Diodoro equaled the training record for 104 wins at the meet. It’s only the second quarter of the year and Diodoro has accomplished so much at the meet and in his career. His family and son Thomas, should be really proud of him. Having an operation as large as Diodoro’s, its seven day’s a week, 365 days of the year. It’s probably hard for a guy like him to take a vacation, so he might as well enjoy winning as much as he can. Robertino wrapped up the Turf Paradise meet by winning the Hasta La Vista Handicap with Mambo Man. The one mile and seven-eights is the longest turf race in American racing. Ridden to victory by Geovanni Franco, Mambo Man lead the field from gate to wire and covered the distance in 3:11.81. Diodoro was awarded with “Leading Trainer” honors at the end of the meet and L.A.
