  • Cosequin Presents Ottb Showcase: 'Turning
    COSEQUIN PRESENTS OTTB SHOWCASE: ‘TURNING FOR HOME’ AND BEYOND by Jen Roytz Courtesy PaulickReport.com "It is our responsibility as guardians to give back to our horses once they cannot do what we ask of them as racehorses," says Michelle With the early mornings, long days, and hard work from sun up to sun down, it is no wonder that when asked, most trainers will say they aren’t in the game for the money, but rather for the love of the horse. Michelle Fortebuono is no different. Based at Parx Casino and Racing near Philadelphia, Pa., Michelle grew up taking riding lessons and eventually was captivated by Thoroughbreds. Her first job at the racetrack was as a hotwalker in 2003, and she took out her trainer’s license in 2010. Her love for horses can be seen in everything she does. That’s why when Aintnothinbutakiss, or “Kiss,” as she is known around the barn, started losing interest in racing and showing signs of minor soreness in her ankles, the decision came easily for Michelle – retire her now, before her minor issues become major, to give her the best chance at a long and successful life after racing. “She has been with me for four years and has been as good as gold to me,” Michelle posted on Facebook in a photo gallery she created to document the mare’s retirement. “I want to chronicle her retirement not only for me, but for those who think track people don’t care about the horses or their well-being. The first step was completed today – her entry into the Turning for Home program here at Parx.” Michelle claimed Kiss in 2011, just a year after she took out her training license.

    Testimony of Parx Casino Senate Community, Economic and Recreation Development and House Gaming Oversight Committee Hearing Tuesday March 7, 2017 Representatives: Robert W. Green, Chairman and Tony Ricci, Chief Executive Officer Robert W. Green – Introduction Tony Ricci We are extremely proud to represent Parx Casino and Racing, the number one Casino in Pennsylvania. Parx generates the most tax revenue of any Casino in Pennsylvania, and our beautiful facilities serve as a testament to the benefits of the enabling legislation that created the gaming industry in 2004 and saved our great racing industry. We are equally proud to say that we have delivered on the promises that were made to the legislature back in 2004, in the face of much skepticism, that we would produce significant tax revenue, investment, jobs and economic growth, and conduct our operations with great integrity and benefit to the community. Some key facts related to our business are as follows: 1) We generated total revenue of $581 million in 2016, including Racing revenue 2) We pay $250 million per annum in tax payments to state and local governments 3) We paid $26.8 million of non-gaming taxes, such as property taxes in 2016 4) We paid $87.7 million in local share assessments in the past five years 5) We employ more than 2,500 people, and 1,210 full-time employees receive first-class benefits. 82% of our employees are PA residents, and our overall compensation cost is approximately $100 million 6) Two-thirds of our revenue is derived from customers who live within 30 miles of our Casino, the remaining one-third is predominately from New Jersey and New York.
