Pillars of the Turf cont. Gainesway was founded by his grandfather in 1925 as a Standardbred business and Gaines added a Thoroughbred division in 1962. He acquired, syndicated, stood and managed top stallions like Bold Bidder--sire of Spectacular Bid; Lyphard, Riverman, Blushing Groom, Vaguely Noble and Broad Brush. He further developed the business by moving it to its current location on Paris Pike and acquiring half of the C. V. Whitney Farm. Gaines conceptualized the idea for a year-end championship event in the Breeders= Cup, which he pioneered to its launch in 1984 at Hollywood Park. The event began with seven races and $10 million in total purses, while the 2017 edition at Del Mar will include 13 races with more than $28 million in purses. Gaines was a founder of the National Thoroughbred Association, which later merged into the current National Thoroughbred Racing Association, and was also instrumental in creating the Kentucky Horse Park and Maxwell H. Gluck Center for Equine Research at the University of Kentucky. He was presented the Eclipse Award of Merit in 1984. Phipps (1940-2016), a New York City native, was born into a legendary Thoroughbred racing family and was chairman of The Jockey Club for an unprecedented 32-year team from 1983- 2015. He transformed the organization from one that mainly maintained the stud book into a diverse set of companies to fill specific needs within the sport. Phipps helped lead the industry to achieve enhanced integrity and spent time helming the New York Racing Association, Breeders= Cup, American Dinny Phipps with 2005 GI Breeders= Cup Distaff heroine Pleasant Home | Horsephotos Horse Council and the NTRA. He also championed research for the horse and charitable care for people in the sport while maintaining a world-class breeding and racing operation. He was the grandson of Mrs. Henry Carnegie Phipps, whose Wheatley Stable bred champions such as Seabiscuit and Bold Ruler. His father, Ogden Phipps had his own breeding and racing operation beginning in the 1930s and also served as TJC chairman from 1964-1974.

Pillars of the Turf cont. Phipps earned the Eclipse Award of Merit in 1978 and bred 89 stakes winners for Phipps Stable, including Inside Information, Storm Flag Flying and Smuggler. He and his cousin, Stuart Janney III, bred and raced 2013 GI Kentucky Derby hero Orb (Malibu Moon). Martin J. AMatt@ Winn (1861-1949), a native of Louisville, saw Aristedes win the inaugural running of the Kentucky Derby in 1875 and watched 75 more renewals of the race until his death at age 88. In 1902, Winn put together a group of investors that purchased a struggling Churchill Downs for $40,000. He renovated the track=s clubhouse and used his marketing skills to help Churchill make a profit for the first time in his history. He introduced pari-mutuel machines to handle betting to combat a 1908 anti-bookmaking law in Louisville. Winn introduced the $2 minimum bet in 1911, lowering the threshold from the $5 it had been, which was beyond the means of most working people. He began the practice of inviting, sometimes by paying, celebrities to attend the Derby and publicizing their attendance. In 1915, Winn convinced prominent owner Harry Payne Whitney to bring his filly Regret to the Derby. The national publicity surrounding Regret=s subsequent victory cemented the Derby as a marquee event on the American racing calendar. A 1949 New York Times article said of Winn=s influence on the Derby: AHe alone made it what it is today,@ and author William H. P. Robertson said AWinn was a Moses who led the sport through trying times.@ A committee of racing industry experts and historians, under the guidance of chairman D. G. Van Clief, comprise the Pillars of the Turf Selection Committee. The members include Van Clief, Edward L. Bowen, Bob Curran, Jane Goldstein, Ken Grayson, Jay Hovdey, G. Watts Humphrey, Bill Marshall, Mary Simon, Stella Thayer, Gary West and Amy Zimmerman.

AI won the race with Lady Eli (Divine Park) a few years ago, and it's think it=s good for us to partner with them. I=m always happy to one of my favorite races. Chad is excited to get her and see what sell legs and stay in and meet people, and I think it was nice for she can do. I was thrilled Mike Dubb wanted to partner with me- them to be happy for me to stay in the filly as well. In the end, -we partner on lots of horses and he's a great friend.@ you share different thoughts and make the best decisions for While Kumin, Dubb and Brown=S team are tasked with the filly.@ acquainting themselves with their latest arrival, Nicolas de Chambure of Haras d=Etreham has known the filly since day one. De Chambure purchased Uni=s dam, Unaided (GB) (Dansili {GB}), with the filly in utero for $230,000 at the 2013 Keeneland November sale. The first foal out of Unaided, Uni was brought to the Arqana August yearling sale before ultimately being bought back by de Chambure and put into training. After the chestnut followed a maiden victory at Deauville in January with a good third-place try in the Prix de la Californe at Cagnes-Sur-Mer Feb. 12, the owner/breeder fielded a number of inquiries about Uni=s availability. AI had a few phone calls after that race and one of them was Nicolas de Watrigant who does some work with Bradley Weisbord--who advises Sol Kumin--and they were looking for a filly for the Belmont Oaks,@ explained de Chambure, who said he hopes to campaign Uni for several years to come. AThey thought she was a good prospect for that race. I hadn=t met Sol, but I knew who he was through Lady Eli and some of the other good fillies he has raced, and we spoke on the phone. I liked the idea of partnering in the filly with him, particularly as we have had horses with Chad before. I=ll probably come, spend a few days in New York, and have a big race day as well.@ While it is not a certainty that Uni will receive an invitation to compete in the prestigious Belmont Oaks, it seems likely given Brown=s prolific record in the race (previously the GI Garden City S.), which he won in four consecutive years from 2012 to 2015. Imports like Uni are precisely what Belmont Park wants when it comes to adding international flavor to the July 8 Stars and Stripes Racing Festival, according to Martin Panza, Senior Vice President of Racing Operations at the New York Racing Association. AHere=s a filly that was bought in France and is pointing for the Belmont Oaks, and that=s a good thing for racing in New York and in the U.S.,@ commented Panza. AIt=s a good thing when we can give owners an opportunity to go out and purchase horses and bring them to the States. We hope to have her in the Belmont Oaks, and in other races.@ De Chambure echoed Panza=s sentiment, asserting that partnerships such as the one formed for Uni represent a positive step toward the global integration of racing. An exchange of ideas, according to de Chambure, can yield positive results.

CHANCES DIMMING FOR SUPREME COURT APPEAL ON NJ SPORTS BETTING By T.D. Thornton A panel of government attorneys from the United States Solicitor General=s (SG) office has recommended in a May 24 brief that the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) not hear an appeal brought by the State of New Jersey that could help decide the fate of a years-long attempt to legalize sports Dinny Phipps | Susie Raisher betting in the state.

Chances Dimming for NJ Sports Betting cont. According to the Post, in January, SCOTUS asked the SG for a brief on the merits of the two cases--Chris Christie, et al. v. NCAA, et al.; and NJTHA v. NCAA, et al.--which deal with New Jersey=s challenges to the federal government=s near-total ban on legal sports betting. That request by SCOTUS had been viewed as a positive sign that SCOTUS might hear the case, because, according to Legal Sports Report, Awhen SCOTUS asks the SG to get involved and the SG agrees that an appeal should move forward, SCOTUS grants appeals in a majority of such cases.@ But in the Wednesday brief, the SG attorneys wrote that the case did not merit the attention of SCOTUS because the New Jersey entities had not raised valid constitutional problems with the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), the federal law that Dennis Drazin | Equi-Photo prohibits legalized sports gambling in all but four grandfathered states (Nevada, Oregon, Montana and Delaware). AAlthough PASPA has been on the books for a quarter century, it has apparently given rise to only a handful of suits, all in the Third Circuit,@ the SG attorneys wrote. AApart from New Jersey=s recent efforts to foster sports betting at the State=s casinos and racetracks, only one other State has enacted legislation challenged under Section 3702(1): Delaware, which unsuccessfully argued that various forms of sports lotteries fell within PASPA=s grandfathering clause ... No other State has enacted legislation claimed to conflict with PASPA [and] the absence of a conflict on the question presented and the paucity of PASPA litigation of any kind counsel against this Court=s review. The limited practical consequences of the question presented confirm that this Court=s review is unwarranted.@ According to Legal Sports Report, New Jersey had passed a law in 2014 that partially repealed its own sports betting ban, allowing wagering to take place in the state. But major professional and amateur sports leagues--including the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and the NCAA--banded together to present legal challenges and obtain restraining orders to keep the measure from taking effect. --@thorntontd
