I). Gary Stevens subs for a sidelined Edgar Prado on Runhappy, who has been in California with trainer Laura Wohlers since early December. Stevens was aboard the son of Super Saver for his seven-furlong work Dec. 15. "One-turn mile races and one-turn seven-furlong races are the toughest races to win," Stevens said. "You have to have speed and stamina. He has got a big, long stride on him—he doesn't move like a sprinter." While Runhappy will be a big favorite, trainer Kiaran McLaughlin has a pair of lightly raced Ber- nardini colts that bear watching: Marking, a Nov. 4 Aqueduct winner is out of dual grade I winner Sev- enth Street; Watershed, in just his second career start, was a rallying fourth behind Runhappy in the seven-furlong King's Bishop (gr.

Her dedication to the Fund was consistent with her lifetime of tireless commitment to a variety of civic and professional organizations here in New York. She will long be remembered not only as a role model for women involved in the practice of law but also as a forceful advocate for the humane treatment of all animals.

  • Ruffian (1972 Reviewer
    Ruffian by Kathleen Jones Ruffian was bred and owned by Mr & Mrs Stuart Janney for their Locust Hill Farm. She was born at Claiborne Farm in Kentucky from some breeding stock which the Janneys kept there. Her sire, Reviewer, won 9 of his 13 starts in a career plagued with injuries. Ruffian was a product of his first crop. Her dam, Shenanigans had won 3 of her 22 starts, and prior to foaling Ruffian, had already produced the good stakes winner Icecapade. Under the care of trainer Frank Whiteley Jr, her very first start came on May 22 at Belmont. The event was a 5 1/2 furlong maiden purse and Ruffian equaled the track record by running the distance in 1:03 flat. She was immediately moved up to stakes company and won the 5 1/2 furlong Fashion Stakes at Belmont in an identical time. The Janneys knew they had something special. Ruffian then won the Astoria Stakes at Aqueduct (5 1/2 furlongs) in 1:02 4/5. She appeared to be getting faster with every start. Her first attempt at 6 furlongs was in the Sorority Stakes at Monmouth in late July, and she won that clocking a very fast time of 1:09. This was followed up with a win in the Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga in which she ran the 6 furlongs in an even faster time of 1:08 3/5! As an undefeated multiple stakes winner of clearly superior skill and lightning fast speed, Ruffian was selected as the champion juvenile filly of 1974.

  • MICHAEL VEITCH: Aqueduct to Bring Revenue to NYRA
    MICHAEL VEITCH: Aqueduct to bring revenue to NYRA By MICHAEL VEITCH The Saratogian Aqueduct is going to shine. The racino project of Genting New York LLC will open sometime this autumn, bringing a long-awaited revenue stream to the New York Racing Association. I toured the facility earlier this week, and came away excited about what it is likely to mean for NYRA and its three tracks. Total purses at Aqueduct, Belmont and Saratoga are expected to increase from $25-$35 million on an annual basis. According to NYRA president Charlie Hayward, those figures are based on conservative projections of the play at the slot machines, which will number approximately 3,000 upon opening. In all, 4,500 machines will be at Aqueduct. The gaming space will occupy what used to be the grandstand section of the Big A, and also take a small portion of the second floor clubhouse. The massive undertaking involves a retro-fitting of the Aqueduct grandstand. Tony Agnese, facilities director of the project, said 800 workers are currently employed in two ten-hour shifts during construction. Perhaps most impressive is a floating theatrical stage for performances at the racino. Also included in the work are the numerous underground offices and departments at Aqueduct, including a new telebet room that NYRA added following the closure of New York City Off- Track Betting. Hayward noted that the number of calls during the first quarter of 2010 was 90,000, a figure that exploded to 440,000 for the same period in 2011, following the shutdown of NYCOTB.
