NOVEMBER 3 the New Jersey Racing Commission’S New Medication Rules Will Go Into Effect Starting November 3, 2014 The Official Newsletter of the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey Vol. 39, No. 6 Representing owners, breeders, drivers, trainers & caretakers TRIXTON TO STAND STUD AT DEO VOLENTE Trixton, the 2014 Hambletonian champion, has been retired and will stand stud at Deo Volente Farms in Flemington, NJ for the 2015 breeding season, it was jointly announced by Hall of Fame trainer-driver Jimmy Takter and Mike Gulotta, majority owner of Deo Volente. “I’m excited that this great colt will stand in New Jersey at such a great farm like Deo Volente” said Takter, who makes his home at Millennium Farm, his training center in East Windsor, NJ. “Trixton represents a significant new beginning for the New Jersey breeding industry in tune with Jeff Gural’s enlightened stewardship at the New Mead- owlands racetrack,” Gulotta said. “We think Mike Gulotta has demonstrated great fore- sight to stand Trixton in New Jersey,” said Standard- bred Breeders & Owners Association President Tom Luchento. “We hope breeders will share his faith in the future of the New Jersey program and breed their mares to Trixton.” In two seasons of racing, Trixton earned $947,057, taking his mark of 1:50.3 while defeating Nuncio in the Hambletonian, despite racing the entire mile Trixton parked on the outside. Trixton is by Muscle Hill, a son of Muscles Yankee, who is responsible for consecutive Hambletonian win- ners Deweycheatumnhowe [2008], Muscle Hill [2009] and Muscle Massive [2010]. Muscles Yankee is the foremost son of foundation sire Valley Victory. Trixton is link number four in a leading sire line. Trixton will stand for a fee of $12,000 in 2015. Syndication term sheets will be available at Harrisburg from Mike Gulotta and Bob Marks, and can also be obtained by calling Deo Volente Farms at 908-782-4848. NJRC'S NEW MEDICATION RULES EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 3 The New Jersey Racing Commission’s new medication rules will go into effect starting November 3, 2014. Trainers and veterinarians are urged to review them, especially the changes in dosing for Betamethasone and Dexa- methasone along with the recommended withdrawal time for Clenbuterol. There are 26 medications categorized as Controlled Therapeutic Medications. These medications are permissible only when a race horse tests below the threshold levels set forth in the RCI Controlled Therapeutic Medication Schedule, Version 2.1. The schedule may be found on the web at arci.com. Choose Model Rules and Standards and then ARCI Controlled Therapeutic Medication Schedule - V.2.1. Pay particular attention to the dosing specifications for Betamethasone and Dexamethasone. The threshold level for Betamethasone will decrease from 100pg/ml of plasma or serum to 10pg/ml of plasma or serum. The threshold level for Dexamethasone will decrease from 100pg/ml of plasma or serum to 5pg/ml of plasma or serum. The recommended withdrawal time for Clenbuterol will increase to 14 days. The presence of Clenbuterol will not be allowed in plasma or serum and the threshold level for urine is 140pg/ml. —Issued by Dr. Deborah Lamparter, Chief State Veterinarian, New Jersey Racing Commission PACESETTER SBOANJ.COM 1 November/December 2014 A year from now, there is every expectation that Owner-breeder Mike Gulotta and his partners at the state-wide ballot will include a referendum Deo Volente Farm recognized this with their deci- question about the addition of casino wagering in sion to stand Hambletonian winner Trixton in New North Jersey.
