Once again, the California Thorough- bred Breeders Association (CTBA) and Oak Tree Racing Association reached out to the people unfamiliar with the Thoroughbred horse racing industry to interest fair patrons to attend and enjoy the races. On the opening day of the movie “Secretariat,” members of the CTBA were on hand at the Big Fresno Fair with an infor- mational booth situated outside the racing enclosure near the saddling paddock to attract fair goers as they entered the fair- grounds from one of the main entrances. One focus of the exhibit was to teach people to pick the best horse and hopefully enable them to become winners. A very informative video was shown throughout the day teaching people to bet. Steve Hartshorn, a California breeder and CTBA member, and also a professional gambler, was in attendance to help attendees in understanding the basics to advanced handi- capping. Printed information was also available for patrons who wanted to take it to the betting windows with them. CTBA President Leigh Ann Howard and Christy Chapman, Executive Assistant and Event Coordinator, were on hand along with California State Fair Event Coordinator and CTBA member, Nancy Easton, to discuss the California Thoroughbred industry. Information was available on the California Thoroughbred breeding farms as well as information regarding retraining retired race horses for second careers. Having coordinated this exhibit on the opening day of the well publicized Secretariat movie, it helped to increase the interest in the racing industry in California and the attendance at the Big Fresno Fair races. Other parts of the exhibit included a display area of real silks worn by jockeys and a racing saddle and bridle for patrons to see up close. (Throughout the day a professional jockey in full dress was there to talk to the patrons about the life of a Thoroughbred racehorse jockey and to sign programs for people who visited the booth.)
