SUMMER AT THE SPA A FRUSTRATED RON PAOLUCCI TO LEAVE SPORT by Bill Finley BEGINS WITH Ron Paolucci, who owns more than 120 horses and was the second leading owner in the U.S. last year in wins with 159 TIGHT RACES EXPECTED victories, has decided to leave the sport. The story was first reported by the Daily Racing Form. Paolucci, whose horses ran under the name of Loooch Racing Stables, likes to do things his way and that led him to make several unconventional moves that rubbed some people the wrong way. In 2017, two of his horses were barred from racing because officials did not believe they belonged in the race. He entered May B (Werblin) as a rabbit for his top horse at the time, War Story (Northern Afleet) in the GI Woodward S., but the entry was not accepted. The stewards ruled that the horse was scratched because they believed May B was not entered with the intent of winning. Cont. p5

IN TDN EUROPE TODAY Saratoga | Sarah K. Andrew TBA PROPOSES GB-BRED SCHEME Saratoga opens its doors for opening day of the historic track=s The TBA proposed during its annual general meeting on 40-day summer stand Friday, with the GIII Schuylerville S. and Thursday a British-bred Premium Scheme aimed at assisting GIII Lake George S. anchoring the initial card. The premier meet, small breeders. Click or tap here to go straight to TDN Europe. which runs through Labor Day, will host a total of 69 stakes events worth a record $18.85 million in purses. As has been the case in past years, much attention will be devoted to the race for the trainers= title, which once again features an expected battle between the powerhouse stables of Todd Pletcher and Mechanicville, New York native Chad Brown. In 2017, Pletcher=s 40 wins bested Brown=s 39, turning the tables on the results of the 2016 season, which saw Brown put a brief halt to Pletcher=s prevailing dominance at the Spa. The Texas native emerged victorious at Saratoga in 1998, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 prior to reclaiming the title in 2017. Brown, meanwhile, is considered by many to be the favorite in 2018 with a stable loaded with talent, particularly for the meet=s ample turf opportunities. That forte figures to be on full display in Saturday=s featured GI Diana S., where Brown will send out the trio of Sistercharlie (Ire) (Myboycharlie {Ire}), New Money Honey (Medaglia d=Oro) and A Raving Beauty (Ger) (Mastercraftsman {Ire}).

Saratoga Opening cont.

The jockey=s race could prove equally intriguing, with the Ortiz brothers--Jose Ortiz and Irad Ortiz, Jr.--establishing themselves as mainstays atop the New York Racing Association standings in recent years. Younger brother Jose Ortiz has captured the Saratoga title each of the last two seasons, but his older brother claimed a title of his own in 2015. As a preface to this year=s Saratoga meet, Irad claimed the riding title at the 54-day Belmont Park spring/summer meet.

A Raving Beauty and connections with Irad Ortiz, Jr. aboard Sarah K. Andrew Saratoga Stars by Mike Kane While we know that Saratoga is an important meeting, since we keep score in sports, a quick review of the numbers shows that a high percentage of North America=s champions and elite performers compete at the Spa every summer. Last year, eight of the 11 Eclipse Award winners--including Horse of the Year Gun Runner (Candy Ride {Arg})--made at least one start at Saratoga Race Course. Two of the no-shows were injured when the 40-day meet was held, and Sprint champ Roy H (More Than Ready) did not leave California in 2017. An ankle issue will keep Triple Crown winner Justify (Scat Daddy)--certain to be the 3-year-old male titlist and Horse of the Year--from Saratoga, but it is a very safe bet that plenty of other champs will race at America=s oldest track before the meet closes on Labor Day, Sept. 3. They certainly did last year: $ 53 of the 159 horses that competed in the Breeders= Cup at Del Mar--33%--made at least one start at Saratoga.

Saratoga cont. Making the Most of It

$ Six of the 13 Breeders= Cup winners--46%--went to the post at the meet. A seventh, GI Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Rushing Fall (More Than Ready), trained at Saratoga by Chad Brown and was scheduled to make her debut on the final day of the season, but was scratched when the race came off the grass. $ 11 of the 13 Breeders= Cup races had at least one Saratoga veteran finish in the top three. Fourteen of the 39 horses--36%--that hit the board in the Breeders= Cup raced at Saratoga. $ Eight of the 20 horses that started in this year=s Kentucky Derby had ASar" in their past performances.

Saratoga cont.

Both 4-year-olds return for this year=s meet off winning efforts: Voodoo Song captured the Forbidden Apple S. at Belmont last Saturday, while New York=s Finest dominated a Monmouth allowance event July 13. In total, 28 horses won multiple races at Saratoga in 2017, with GI Diana S. entrant and >TDN Rising Star= Proctor=s Ledge (Ghostzapper) among the most prominent names, having won both the Lake George and GII Lake Placid S.

ALive@ Racing Returns The 2018 meet also marks the return of NYRA=s widely acclaimed ASaratoga Live, Presented by Claiborne Farm,@ which features 2 1/2 hours of live coverage from the Spa on nearly every day of the meet. The program airs nationally on Fox Sports 2 from 4:00 to 6:30 p.m. ET.

Paolucci cont. from p1 Some two months later, the Breeders' Cup would not allow Paolucci to enter Heavenhasmynikki (Majestic Warrior) in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies because she had never raced before. "I was an outsider looking in in my first year in racing," he said. "Now, I realize it was all about politics. This is a game that says it wants guys like me. But it really doesn't. I speak my mind, run where I want to, I don't believe in the politics. Just because something isn't done, it shouldn't mean you can't do it. If it's going to grow, this is a game that needs people like myself who think outside the box." Cont. p6

Paolucci cont.

Paolucci said he had been wavering on whether or not he should remain in the horse business for quite some time, and that a July 9 race at Thistledown was the breaking point. He ran an entry with Game Over (Mineshaft) as the much stronger half. At odds of 1-5, Game Over won by 1 3/4 lengths. But the stewards disqualified him, ruling that his entrymate Chromium (Vronsky) was ridden in a way to interfere with Game Over's competition. Chromium's rider Luis Rivera received a 30-day suspension. "They questioned Luis dozens of times, kept asking him what did they tell you to do, how did they tell you to ride the race?" Paolucci said. "Game Over was 1-5. He didn't need any help. It was the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I think they gave Rivera 30 days because he didn't tell them what they wanted to hear. They wanted him to say that I cheated and set this up. I won't let anyone defame my name like that." Paolucci's horses are spread around the country with several different trainers. He said he will continue to race some expecting that they will get claimed away. Any horses he still owns in the fall will be sold at either Fasig-Tipton's November sale or at an Ohio mixed sale in December. Paolucci, who is from the Cleveland area, started with Standardbreds in 2011. A year later, he began building his Thoroughbred stable. In the first two years he owned horses he tried to compete mainly at the top level and had little success. He changed his strategy and became a top owner at the Ohio tracks while maintaining a few classier horses that raced elsewhere. He said once he started concentrating on Ohio racing, his stable became profitable. "I was making money--that's an anguishing part of this decision," he said. "I did very well in Ohio and that became the backbone of my operation. In my first six months in the sport, I got my butt kicked. I couldn't compete with these big guys. I came back home and put together a financial plan where I could make a profit. I didn't get rich off of it but was making a decent living." Paolucci's greatest success came with Ria Antonia (Rockport Harbor), who was placed first through disqualification in the 2013 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. He also owned War Story through much of his career. War Story has earned $2.6 million. "I learned a lot from the day I started," he said. "I like to think I evolved as an owner. I know that I don't know everything, but I tried to do my best and to help the sport. It's not a sport that wants help. I'm done."

Philip Newton addresses the TBA AGM | Adam Smyth IN TDN AMERICA TODAY By Emma Berry SUMMER AT THE SPA BEGINS ON FRIDAY NEWMARKET, UK-"An industry that has a seismic crack in it," Saratoga begin on Friday, with the GIII Schuylerville S. and was how Thoroughbred Breeders' Association board member GIII Lake George S. on tap. Click or tap here to go straight to Philip Newton described British breeding during an address to TDN America. members at the 101st annual general meeting of the TBA on Thursday. Newton's assertion was part of his overview of a recent Economic Impact Study undertaken by the TBA, the full results of which are yet to be published. In short, the review points to a "dire" situation for the smaller breeder in Britain, where breeders collectively can expect to receive 2% return on capital investment. A similar study undertaken in 2014 highlighted the fact that 45% of British breeders operate at a loss. Just four years later that figure has risen to 66%. A total of 353 breeders, or 8%, have left the industry in the last five years. "Many small to medium-sized breeders are facing extinction if the return on their investment does not improve," Newton warned. "Breeders selling in Book 1 of the October Sale can expect to make on average a profit of ,118,000, while those selling a Book 3 yearling are looking at an average loss of ,23,500. The average loss to a breeder producing a National Hunt filly is ,12,000." Cont. p2 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 2 OF 11 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 20 JULY 2018

TBA Proposes GB-Bred Premium Scheme Cont. from p1 With a third of the British-bred foals being produced by breeders owning one or two mares, the TBA is naturally keen that the decline in the number of smaller British-based breeders--which currently stands at 3,318--is halted. "We need 20,000 individual runners to sustain the British racing programme and roughly 50% of those currently are British-breds," added Newton, who also pointed to the demand for horses bred in Britain and by its close neighbours, illustrated by the fact that members of more than 30 different nations were listed among the buyers at last week's July Sale at Tattersalls.

MANY SMALL TO MEDIUM-SIZED BREEDERS ARE FACING EXTINCTION IF THE RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT DOES NOT IMPROVE Philip Newton

The implementation of bonus schemes is nothing new in the racing industry in Britain and beyond, but in order to try to help British breeders, the TBA has prepared a paper outlining a British-bred Premium Scheme, to some extent a beefed-up version of the Plus 10 Bonus Scheme, which it is hoped will be in place from 2019. Detailing this proposal, which will need to be ratified by the wider racing industry, Newton's fellow board member Bryan Mayoh said, "The aim is to provide significant incentive, either for British-bred horses or for those sired by stallions standing in Britain, to encourage increased demand at the sales and increased participation by owner-breeders." With a nomination to be paid by the breeder, it is, to a degree, another form of self-help scheme, but one which it is hoped will be significantly boosted by Levy funding, with the aim being to have a pool of ,7.75 million specifically targeted at British-bred or -sired horses. Cont. p3 TDN EUROPE/INTERNATIONAL • PAGE 3 OF 11 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 20 JULY 2018

TBA Proposes GB-Bred Premium Scheme Cont. The small print has yet to be finalised, but it is proposed that horses carrying a GB suffix and by a British stallion would receive 100% of a bonus payment, while those bred in Britain by an outside stallion, or those by a British stallion but foaled elsewhere, would receive 50%. There would also be breeders' prizes of up to 20% of each bonus and no limit on the number of bonuses won. Mayoh, the co-breeder of 2017 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Sizing John (GB) (Midnight Legend {GB}), was the architect of the Vice President, International Operations Mare Owners' Prize Scheme (MOPS), which was introduced two Gary King years ago by the TBA's National Hunt committee in order to help Twitter: @garykingTDN boost the popularity of jump-bred fillies at the sales.

(Click here to return to p1) "She certainly hasn't forgotten to jump out of the gates," McEvoy told Racing.com. "She had very good timing, flew out, travelled beautifully under Jamie, and quickened up when she wanted her to. It was pretty rough conditions out there, the ground was testing and rough, but Jamie said she kept her action well. She got a bit casual with 100m to go, she gave her a little slap on the shoulder and she said she really picked up under her. She went to the line with more in hand, and we'll call on that more in hand in 10 days' time." Sunlight, who also won the G2 Silver Slipper and G3 Magic Night S. this season, was last seen finishing third in the G1 Golden Slipper on Mar. 24, her first loss in seven outings.
