    Delaware Agricultural Statistics Service, for His Hard Work in Designing, Implementing, Evaluating This Study and Preparing It for Publication

    Dear Friend of Delaware Agriculture: I am very pleased and proud to present the results of the 2004 Delaware Equine Study, the first ever comprehensive study of this important segment of our agricultural industry. I want to thank Governor Ruth Ann Minner, the Delaware General Assembly, the racing commissions, and the Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund for providing the funding for this project. I also want to thank the Delaware Equine Council for their help and each and every person who voluntarily participated in this very important study. As clearly shown by the numbers contained within this report, the equine industry’s importance to Delaware’s economy is significant and growing. In addition to the expenditures Delaware equine owners and operations make into the state economy, our racetracks, equine show and competition facilities, breeding, training, and boarding operations attract thousands from outside of Delaware who also expend significantly into our state economy. Not only does the industry directly provide jobs for thousands of Delawareans, but also indirectly through expenditures made for feed and bedding, veterinarian services, equipment, grooming and tack supplies, maintenance and repair and other sectors of the industry’s infrastructure. Equine and equine operations make significant contributions to the quality of life in Delaware by keeping land in open space, and providing a wide diversity of recreational activities available to the general public. As spectators or participants, countless Delawareans enjoy equine racing, shows and competitions, pony rides, trail and pleasure riding, and much more. For many, the view of Delaware from atop a horse is the best one. I know firsthand how important equines are and have been socially and recreationally to my family and to the quality of life of many others in Delaware.

    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.
