PA THOROUGHBRED REPORT 5 Zipper’s Hero: Getting Better With Age by Linda Dougherty

Like a fine wine, Mario O. Mangini’s Zipper’s Hero has gotten better as she ages. In the last two years, the 6-year-old daugh- ter of Partner’s Hero has only failed to hit the board one time, won two Pennsylvania-bred stakes races, and was honored as 2018’s top older female by the Pennsylvania Thorough- bred Horsemen’s Association at Parx Racing. Last season, Zipper’s Hero captured the $100,000 Dr. Teresa Garofalo Memorial Stakes at Parx, as well as three allowance races, one of which came at Laurel Park in late June. And on April 27, the dark bay or brown mare annexed her second added-mon- ey event, humbling 11 rivals in the $100,000 Foxy J G Stakes at Parx.

PA THOROUGHBRED REPORT 19 Pennsylvania Broodmare Domicile Requirements & Registration Eligibility for 2019 Foals

Please note the following broodmare domicile requirements for the 2019 crop of foals. Mares bred to registered PA-Sires are up again this year, according to our preliminary count, and continuing that trend will move us to an increase in registered foals, which is our priority. • The dam of the foal resided continuously in Pennsylvania since DECEMBER 1 of the year of conception through foaling. Mares not being bred back will fall under this category. • The dam of the foal was purchased at a public sale after DECEMBER 1 of the year of conception and brought into Pennsylvania within 14 days of the date of purchase and remained continuously through foaling. During the year of foaling, the foal or its dam spent at least ninety (90) days in the state. • The dam of the foal arrived after DECEMBER 1 of the year of conception, foaled in Pennsylvania and was bred back to a registered PA stallion standing in Pennsylvania and the dam of the foal resided SIXTY (60) consecutive days during which foaling occurred. Domicile forms can be found online at www.pabred.com/forms. Please DO NOT use any prior year forms as they have changed. We prefer online submissions, but if you are unable to submit the form online, you can print out a report and mail it, or let us know and we’ll send a copy to you. G D U T
