New York News NYRA moves quickly to stem OTB losses After shutdown, quick action on NYRA Rewards, buses, Belmont Cafe, and television

New York City Off-Track Betting Corp.’s shutdown at midnight on December 7 was not the result that the New York Racing As- sociation had sought or wanted. Indeed, NYRA had supported its reorganization plan as a member of the bankruptcy creditors’ committee and in the New York Assembly. But New York’s ingrained brinkmanship politics always is un- predictable, and NYRA’s management had a game plan in hand in case the shutdown occurred, which happened when the state Senate failed to approve the reorganization plan earlier on De- cember 7. NYRA’s game plan had several components, and within hours of the shutdown some pieces were already being put in place. The major components were: • Easy access to NYRA Rewards, the racing organization’s on- line wagering system; • Launching full-card simulcast wagering at Belmont Park’s Belmont Café; • Moving former New York City OTB patrons to the tracks Adam Coglianese/NYRA photo through charter bus services; and NYRA REWARDS • Restoring television access to NYRA races through the city’s The shutdown of New York City Off-Track Betting Corp. has cable system and live video streaming. more people joining NYRA Rewards or visiting simulcast The goal ultimately is to build a combination of convenience outlets at New York racetracks wagering and television signals to penetrate the five New York City boroughs and to reach beyond the immediate metropolitan Because NYRA received a relatively small slice of the OTB wa- area—the largest in the U.S.—and extend throughout the state. gering, roughly 2.5%, NYRA officials calculated that they needed The need to act quickly was compelling.

by Don Clippinger

One good racehorse certainly can make a pedigree, and Rightly So appears to be an example of that phenomenon. Certainly, one good runner can pay off in the auction ring. During the 2010 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky selected fall mixed sale, New York-bred Grade 1 winner Rightly So sold for $600,000 to Patinack Farm. Her dam, unraced Fit Right In, sold for $1.05- million across town at the Keeneland November breeding stock sale to Japanese interests. To be sure, Rightly So was a good racing prospect and com- manded $220,000 when she was sold to Ahmed Zayat at the 2008 Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. February sale of selected two- year-olds in training. She never finished out of the money, and she capped her 2010 season with a victory in the Ballerina Stakes (G1) at Saratoga Race Course for Zayat Stables.

Final Mesa kicks off the new season Three-year-old filly collects her first graded stakes victory in Gulfstream Park’s Old Hat

The new year was not even a week old before New York-bred Final Mesa collected her first graded stakes victory in the $100,000 Old Hat Stakes (G3) on January 5 at Gulfstream Park. The three-year-old Sky Mesa filly took command leaving Gulf- stream’s far turn, turned back a challenge by longshot Pomeroys Pistol in the stretch, and won by 3 1 ⁄4 lengths as the 2.80-to-1 third betting choice. Owned and trained by Wesley Ward, Final Mesa ran the Old Hat’s six furlongs in 1:09.75 on a fast track. “She quickened really well and ran hard through the stretch,” said jockey Joel Rosario. “I never really panicked in the stretch because my filly was running hard the whole way.”

ICABAD CRANE from page 22 disposed of a tiring Ruffino, and drew within one length of Manteca at the furlong pole. He took the lead near the sixteenth pole, and Maragh kept him busy to the finish line to keep him from pulling himself up. On his last day as a five-year-old, Icabad Crane won by a half-length in 1:44.48 on a fast track. Manteca, with David Cohen riding for trainer Todd 3 Pletcher, finished second, 2 ⁄4 lengths ahead of Mary and Chester Broman’s Mine Over Matter, who also had finished third in the Tinchen’s Prince Stakes. Adrian Rolls, assistant to trainer Graham Motion, noted that Icabad Crane tends to wait on horses once he makes the lead, “so timing is the thing. He’s been so consistent for so long.” Although no target is on the schedule, Rolls said Icabad Crane probably will race next at Aqueduct. Maragh, who took over the mount for the Empire Classic, said Manteca’s strong effort helped Icabad Crane.
