Looking to Bolster Regional Racing, Stronach to Close THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2017 LOOKING TO BOLSTER WHAT THE TAX CHANGE MEANS TO A HORSEPLAYER by Joe Bianca REGIONAL RACING, Last week, the NTRA announced that a decade-long effort to modernize tax regulations for horseplayers was set to become STRONACH TO CLOSE FARM law. Its CEO Alex Waldrop recounted Tuesday in the TDN the lobbying efforts, stalled bills and fighting through bureaucracy that brought the industry to this unmitigated victory. The crucial turning point occurred after the NTRA, acting on suggestions from prominent horseplayers like Steve Crist and Andy Beyer, as well as its key lobbyist on the Hill, decided to stop trying to go through the morass of Congress and instead petition the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service directly to make the change. That proved to be what pushed the effort across the finish line, thanks in large part to two comment periods, one in early 2015 and one at the end of 2016, where thousands of horseplayers wrote in and explained why the current tax law was unfair, ridiculously out of date and a drain on them as well as the industry at large.

That, Stronach told the TDN yesterday, was the motivation behind his decision to close his primary breeding farm in Kentucky. Stronach announced yesterday that will be putting his Adena Springs Farm in Paris, Kentucky, on the market and will eventually phase it out of his massive breeding operation. He will keep open a smaller Adena Springs division located in Midway, Kentucky. While Stronach still has many decisions to make concerning the overall direction the Adena Springs operation will take, one thing is clear: its future will more and more be in Maryland and California and less in Kentucky. Adena Springs is already a major breeder in Florida. Stronach owns racetracks in California (Santa Anita and Golden Gate Fields), in Maryland (Laurel and Pimlico) and in Florida (Gulftstream). He does not own a racetrack in Kentucky. Cont. p3 PRESIDENT & CO-PUBLISHER Barry Weisbord @barryweisbord [email protected] SR.

AThat is the bottom line, what can I do to help racing in California and in Maryland?@ he said. AI have to get better bloodlines there and better stallions.@ Adena Springs stands a number of top stallions in Kentucky, including Awesome Again and Ghostzapper, and Stronach said that all are candidates to be moved to other states. When asked if his best stallions may wind up in California or, perhaps, Maryland, he replied: AThat=s quite possible. Absolutely.@ He also said he would look to acquire new stallions to bolster his future operations in Maryland and California. If any Adena stallions are moved out of Kentucky, Stronach said the earliest that will happen will be after the 2018 breeding season. Adena Springs | ownerview.com Stronach=s decision to focus more on California breeding and racing could make a notable difference in the horse population there, particularly when it comes to California-breds. Adena Springs is a powerhouse in the North American breeding industry in terms of both quantity and quality. Through Oct. 4, Adena Springs was third in the U.S. in terms of money earned and fourth in total winners. Adena Springs was the Eclipse Award-winning breeders 11 times between 2004 and 2016. The Stronach tracks have made notable strides in Maryland and in Florida, but Santa Anita and California racing have not performed to expectations. Stronach seems focused on improving racing in California, more so than in other states where he owns tracks. AI really have to interface with the racing community in California,@ Stronach said. AI=ve done a fair amount in Florida and in Maryland, but I feel a little guilty about California. I want to speak to the people there.

  • Shaman Ghost Delivers Stronach Third Queen?S Plate Victory
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sat Sep 25 5:42:34 2021 / +0000 GMT Shaman Ghost delivers Stronach third Queen?s Plate victory By Jake Courtepatte Frank Stronach waited eighteen years for a repeat performance at Woodbine Racetrack's Queen's Plate, but the owner-breeder took back the $1-million title in style on Sunday. Stronach Stables' Shaman Ghost rallied for a come-from-behind victory on Sunday, finishing one-and-a-quarter lengths ahead of favourite Danish Dynaformer. In his own traditional fashion, the founder of Magna International scoured the race paddock for signs of a four-leaf clover before Canada's oldest thoroughbred horse race, finding one just minutes before the race. He gave it to his granddaughter, who in turn passed it off to jockey Rafael Hernandez ? who won the Queen's Plate with it tucked securely in his boot. "Just as I was walking in the grass near the saddling area I looked down and saw a four-leaf clover," Stronach told the media scrum following the race. "That's usually a good sign, but I had a good feeling all day long because the horse beat every horse in the race before in better times. I think this time, we got a real good horse and he was hardly breathing when he came over here (to the winner's circle)." But with Stronach's equestrian history, it's clear that it takes much more than luck. With the victory, Shaman Ghost gave Stronach Stables its third Queen's Plate victory, and the first since 1997, when Awesome Again won the one-and-a-quarter mile race.
