    In Memoriam: Trudy McCaffery Trudy McCaffery, a former TOC director, died February 12 after a lengthy battle with cancer. She leaves behind a legacy of caring and tireless advocacy for all segments of the Thoroughbred industry – animals and people alike – that will remain an inspiration for years to come. As a new member of the TOC board in 2002, she spoke of her goals: “I will work toward bringing new owners and fans into the industry, while protecting the interests of our existing California thoroughbred owners. I believe we must do whatever is neces- sary to protect our beloved sport and ensure that owners receive their fair share.” She did all that, and more. McCaffery served on TOC’s board from 2002 to 2003, and was honored as 2002 Owner of the Year, along with co-owners of Came Home, John Toffan, William Farish, and John Goodman. She also served on the boards of California Thoroughbred Breeders Association, Breeders’ Cup Ltd., NTRA Charities, Oak Tree Racing Association, Tranquility Farm, and as a trustee with the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association. In 1999, she founded Kids to the Cup, a charitable organization dedicated to developing young rac- ing fans by bringing them to major events. es An accomplished competitive equestrian, McCaffery entered racing in 1989 with part- iat oc ss ner John Toffan, with whom she bred and campaigned Free House and Came Home. They also sent two horses to all three Triple Crown races – Mane Minister (1991) and noit and A e Free House (1997). McCaffery also campaigned such remarkable runners as Bien Bien, B Del Mar Dennis, A.P.

    WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2004 Morning Session 1 THE REALITY OF PRODUCING COMPELLING T.V. Moderator: Steven Crist, Chairman and Publisher, Daily Racing Form Speakers: Michael Antinoro, Executive Producer, ESPN Basil V. Devito, Jr., Senior Television Advisor, NTRA Ian Valentine, Senior Vice President, Programming, GSN MR. REED: Welcome again. This panel was kind of built around the faculty discussing the phenomenon that probably many of you are aware of, if you haven't lived in a cave in the past year, the poker phenomenon. And through chats in our offices we started talking about the analogies between playing poker and handicapping the horses and the greyhounds. And I'm going to let our moderator, who I understand — I won't tell who told me this, but someone on his staff told me he'd be the perfect moderator, I understand he has familiarity with both handicapping and poker, rumor has it. So I thought, who better to moderate this panel than an expert in both areas. And before I introduce him I do want to just one more time say how good the relationship has been with the Daily Racing Form. They have been a strong supporter for more years than I've been here for sure. One of the best things they do for our students is the Joe Hirsch Speaker Forum, and we are able to bring in many speakers, many of you are probably here in the audience today, and give the students the opportunity to hear first-hand how the business is run from experts, and you're the experts.
