Dear SBOANJ Members: We are happy to once again publish the New Jersey Stallion Register and provide you with a comprehensive guide to the industry in this state. Within the pages of this book we celebrate the accomplish- ments of our racing and breeding stars and the people who make it possible for New Jersey to continue to produce some of the best in the world. While the spotlight in this book is on the stallions who will stand in New Jersey in 2009, we also salute the progeny of the program who were the stars of the 2008 racing season. Two New Jersey-sired sons of Muscles Yankee -- two-year-old and three-year-old Deweychea- tumnhowe -- were named 2008 divisional champions, receiving Dan Patch Awards from the United States Harness Writers Association. In 2008, on the recommendation of the SBOANJ, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture honored Ham- bletonian winner Deweycheatumnhowe as Horse of the Year and Fair Winds Farm as Breeder of the Year. Established in 1961 with a handful of people, the SBOANJ is comprised of horse breeders, drivers, trainers, owners, and backstretch personnel, active and interested in the standardbred horse industry in the State of New Jersey. The SBOANJ’s mission is to support, promote and preserve a favorable business climate, while striving to secure closer business and personal relationships among all industry participants throughout the State. The SBOANJ is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the general membership. The Board authorizes stallion and mare registrations, negotiates with track managements, actively oversees and administers a benefits program, and advances legislation favorable to the New Jersey standardbred industry. Among the many benefits the SBOANJ provides its membership is health insurance for eligible individuals and their families, and it administers and funds a driver-trainer retirement program. Additionally, all members are eligible for third-party liability insurance coverage and insurance coverage for damaged or destroyed sulk- ies. We thank all of you who have supported New Jersey racing and breeding in our battle to secure funding for our purses and financial stability for our future. We have every confidence that New Jersey will preserve its position as the premier harness racing state in the country. Sincerely, Your Board of Directors

ON THE COVER... This year’s Stallion Register cover salutes White Birch Farm in Allentown, NJ and its founder, Joseph S. Parisi, who passed away on November 8, 2008 at the age of 78. White Birch, honored as the 2004 Breeder of the Year by the SBOANJ, produced many champions, including the two pacing stars featured on the cover: 1996 Three-Year-Old Pacer of the Year Hot Lead and multi-stakes winner Worldly Beauty. The mare, Town Pro, and her 2008 Rocknroll Hanover foal represent the next generation of New Jersey-sired White Birch stars. Town Pro, a $1.2 million earner on the track, is the dam of many top performers, including Darlin’s Delight, who has banked $2.5 million.

Joe Parisi Tribute by Jacqueline Ingrassia: When Joe Parisi passed away recently, to me, it was the end of an era. Most people would agree that Joe was tough, very tough, and certainly did things his way. What a lot of people didn't know that under that gruff exterior was a generous man who had a passion for horses, in particular. Joe and his beautiful wife Marie founded Jo-Mar Farms in Allentown, NJ where count- less good horses were raised right here in New Jersey, at a time when it was not particu- larly popular to do so. Jo-Mar later became known as White Birch Farm, a superior train- ing facility and also a top notch breeding farm. How many people know that Darlin’s De- light and My Little Dragon were raised in the same field together? Hot Lead, another champ resides on the farm, living out his days in the lap of luxury. I think it's safe to say that Joe had a tremendous impact on racing in New Jersey, not only from the breeding and racing aspect but also for the beautiful farmlands the family strives so hard to protect. May the legacy live on. Rest in Peace Joe.

3 4 NJ Horse of the Year:Deweycheatumnhowe

Deweycheatumnhowe, the trotting powerhouse who won the Hamble- tonian and all but three of his 25 career starts, has been named New Jersey Standardbred of the Year for 2008. Dewey, as he is known, was honored at the 52nd New Jersey Equine Breeders Awards Dinner, sponsored by the New Jersey Equine Advi- sory Board, on January 25, 2009 at the Radisson Hotel in Freehold, NJ. The three-year-old trotting colt, sired in New Jersey by Muscles Yankee, completed his career with earnings of $3,155,178 of which $2,218,987 was earned in 2008. The unbeaten divisional champion at two, Deweycheatumnhowe’s three- year-old campaign was equally dazzling. Dewey thrived in the care of trainer-driver Ray Schnittker and enjoyed a conditioning schedule that included swimming in a pond and exercise under saddle. Even when he was defeated, he raced impressively and finished in-the-money, han- dling bad luck and, in the case of his last start, a week-long illness.

The only time he appeared upended was when he literally was. On the ride from Schnittker’s farm in Middletown, NY to the stallion barn at Walnut Hall in Lexington, KY on December 17, 2008, the trailer carrying him skidded on black ice, slid off the road and flipped over on an embankment. Dewey and Schnittker avoided injury, however, Schnittker’s wife, Dr. Janet Durso, suffered a shoulder separation. The colt arrived a day late but apparently none the worse for it.

Dewey’s instinct for survival began shortly after he was foaled on April 12, 2005 at Steven Jones’ Cameo Hills Farm in Montgomery, NY. His mother, the Speedy Somolli mare Trolley Square, died six weeks later, a setback which the orphaned bay colt overcame.

At two, he won the Harriman Cup, two legs and the final of the New Jersey Sire Stakes at the Meadowlands, a pair of stakes at the Red Mile and the elims and finals of the Valley Victory and at Woodbine and the Meadowlands, re- spectively.

Dewey opened his sophomore season with five straight victo- ries at the Meadowlands, beginning with the Dickerson, the elim and final of the Stanley Dancer Memorial, his Hamble- tonian elim and, to make it 15 straight wins, the $1.5 million Hambletonian Final on August 2. He was the only Hambleto- nian winner to enter the event unbeaten. He extended his winning streak to 17 in the World Trotting Derby in DuQuoin, IL, but the streak would come to an end a week later in the elim for the Canadian Trotting Derby at Mohawk when he was caught by Crazed. But Dewey overcame post 10 to win the final by two lengths. After winning his first heat of the at Lexington’s Red Mile, he finished third in the second split. He gutted out a race-off win over Celebrity Secret in the third heat to win the event. A throat abscess plagued Dewey prior to the $500,000 Breeders Crown at the Meadowlands on No- vember 29, his final start. He was cleared to race but clearly not his best, fading to third after cutting much of the mile. Deweycheatumnhowe, named for the shady lawyers in a comedy skit made popular by the late Johnny Carson, raced in the name of Schnittker, Ted Gewertz of New York, NY; Charles Iannazzo of Tappan, NY and the Deweycheatumnhowe Stable of Lexington, KY. He picked up his second divisional Dan Patch Award and was named Trotter of the Year for 2008 at the Night of Stars banquet on February 4, 2009.

5 NJ Breeder of the Year: Fair Winds Farm The Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey has said “well done” to Fair Winds Farm thanks in large part to a pacing colt named Well Said. Ed and Mark Mullen’s Fair Winds Farm has been se- lected the 2008 New Jersey Breeder of the Year and was honored at the 52nd New Jersey Equine Breeders Awards Dinner, sponsored by the New Jersey Equine Advisory Board, on January 25, 2009 at the Radisson Hotel in Freehold, NJ. Well Said captured the $700,000 Breeders Crown Two-Year-Old Colt Pace in November, adding another stakes credit to his dam, Must See, who is owned in partnership by Fair Winds and Steve Jones of Mont- gomery, NY. Mark Mullen (right) accepts award from Marty O’Hare

“Everyone at Fair Winds appreciates the recognition in being named SBOA Breeder of the Year,” said Mark Mullen. “We have been in the standardbred business for some 40 years and have bred some nice horses along the way. Well Said is our first two-year-old Breeders Crown champ. It is really a milestone for us.” Fair Winds Farm [www.fwfnj.com] is located in Cream Ridge, a horsey community in Upper Freehold Township, NJ. The main farm is 150 acres with another 500 acres which sit adjacent to the nearby Cream Ridge Golf Club. Must See, a daughter of Artsplace, was bred by Fair Winds and returned to her breeder after a stel- lar racing career during which she earned $487,122 and finished in-the-money in 11 of 24 starts. Her six victories included the $460,000 Sweetheart Pace at the Meadowlands. Her first two foals, both by Western Hanover, have already established her broodmare credentials, earning a combined total in excess of $800,000. Her first foal, a filly named See And Be Seen, sold for $127,000 at the Lexington Selected Yearling Sale of 2006. She has banked nearly $220,000, finishing on-the-board in 12 of 34 starts at two and three. Well Said, a $240,000 Harrisburg Sale purchase, has made back double his cost as a two-year-old of 2008 with four wins, four seconds and one third from 12 starts, banking $586,688. Three weeks before Well Said won the Breeders Crown on November 29 with a 1:51 mile, Must See’s third foal, a son of Rocknroll Hanover named Rock N Awe, passed through the Harrisburg sales ring for $140,000. Entering the final two weeks of the year, horses bred at Fair Winds Farm are closing in on $2 million in earnings for 2008 with 77 starters accounting for 163 victories. It was Edward Mullen who purchased the former dairy and soybean farm in 1965 but it was the second youngest of his five children, Mark, who has made breeding and raising horses his career. Mullen, 52 and a resident of Cranbury, NJ, graduated Upper Freehold High School and took a year off before heading to the University of New Hampshire where he earned his BS in the pre-veterinary pro- gram. He trained horses from 1991 until 1999 when he returned to the farm to oversee its operations as president. Fair Winds focuses its breeding operations on broodmares and yearlings. “We raise good yearlings, they sell well and they’re accepted by the buyers,” said Mullen, whose wife, Laura, is a research librar- ian at Rutgers while daughter Erin graduated Boston College and is working at WGBH in Boston and son Ryan is in his third year at Boston University in the computer engineering program. “Why not focus on what we were doing well and we’re successful at? Fair Winds owns about 35 mares and the equine population grows by another 100 mares during the breeding season. “So we spent money on broodmares and try to do the best for our horses as well as our customers’ horses,” added Mullen, who is a member of the SBOANJ board of directors. “So that’s what we’ve been doing, and it has worked out well for us.” Previous winners of New Jersey Breeder of the Year honors include Kentuckiana Farms, Southwind Farms, Valley High Stables, White Birch Farm and Perretti Farms.

6 Breeding Farm Deo Volente Debuts With Tell All

God willing, Deo Volente is one of the brightest new additions to the breeding firmament in New Jersey.

Deo Volente, which is Latin for “God Willing,” is located on 120 acres in horsey Hunterdon County. Where corn once grew, there are now lush pastures and a state-the-art breeding farm with 36 stalls, each with a Dutch win- dow, opening to a covered porch.

Two 12 by 24 foaling stalls are equipped with cameras which permit viewing over the Internet while a stereo system provides calming classical music for the mares and their babies. Every feature for equine safety and comfort was included in the construction.

The first to occupy one of the four stallion stalls is $1.5 million earner and 2007 Pacer of the Year Tell All, man- aged by Brittany Farms, who is standing his second season in New Jersey for a fee of $7,500.

The palatial facility on Quakertown Road in Flemington, NJ, was conceived and built by horse owners Michael Gulotta, James Hess, John Jarka and Otis Ray of the MJG Racing Stable, Craig Lipka of Hill View Enterprises and Andy Willinger. The official opening was Hambletonian Weekend 2008.

“This property is at the top of Hunterdon County so there are great breezes all the time, and the land is perfectly suited for raising foals because of the undulating hills,” Gulotta said in The Harness Edge’s September 2008 issue. “The soil here is phenomenal. The grass here is high in calcium and phosphorus, similar to the calcium levels in the Bluegrass in Kentucky, which promotes strong bones.”

It was success of a horse that Gulotta owned with Willinger, Lis Mara, who helped to provide the resources to build the farm with his $2.1 million in earnings.

“He gave us the resources to build this dream and reinvigorate racing,” said Gulotta of Lis Mara. “Every penny that horse made in racing -- his earnings, his syndication, his Southern Hemisphere breeding rights – has been put into this venture or into charity. We didn’t build this place; Lis Mara built this place.”

Among the broodmares in residence are Worldly Beauty, Little Miss K, Kissing Bandit, Madam Countess, Cream Puff, Kissing Bandit, World Of Her Own and Lisjune, a three-quarter sister to Lis Mara. When she retires, 2008 Breeders Crown and O’Brien Award winner Brigham Dream will join the band.

In a year often filled with gloom for many in racing, Perretti Farms was blessed with a pair of divisional champions and sales- toppers on both the trot and pace. The death of the promising trotting stallion WIndsong’s Legacy marred the year for Perretti Farms which was sustained by the continued brilliance of Muscles Yankee. Two sons of Muscles Yankee, the three- year-old Deweycheatumnhowe and the two-year-old Muscle Hill, won divisional Muscle Hill with Brian Sears crowns last year.

Another son of Muscles Yankee, Muscle Massive, was the highest priced trotting yearling sold at Har- risburg in 2008 when he was hammered down for $425,000. In all, five Muscles Yankee offspring sold for $100,000 or more. Rocknroll Hanover, also based at Perretti’s 900-acre farm in Cream Ridge, NJ, led all stallions with seven $100,000 yearlings, including the highest priced pacing yearling, Catechism Hanover, at $260,000. Both Muscles Yankee, who stands for $20,000, and Rocknroll Hanover, whose fee is $15,000, will be back to work this year. Rocknroll Hanover’s first crop will be racing this spring while Muscles Yankee is already the sire of offspring who have earned $48 million. Two of those progeny are Deweycheatumnhowe and Muscle Hill. Their Dan Patch Awards from the United States Harness Writers Association and Nova Awards from Harness Tracks of America were presented on February 4, 2009 at the Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Muscle Hill, racing in the name of Jerry Silva and TLP Stable, won eight of nine starts including the $500,000 Peter Haughton Memorial and the $700,000 Breeders Crown Two-Year-Old Colt Trot, both at the Meadowlands. He set a world record of 1:53.3. The Greg Peck trainee banked $817,301. Deweycheatumnhowe, the Two-Year-Old Colt Trotter of 2007, was the unanimous choice as the Dan Patch Three-Year-Old Colt Trotter of 2008. Unbeaten at two, Dewey won 12 of 15 starts at three, including the $1.5 million Hambletonian, $930,000 Canadian Trotting Classic and $684,000 Kentucky Futurity. Trained and driven by Ray Schnittker, he took a mark of 1:50.4 at DuQuoin. His seasonal earnings for the ownership of Ray Schnittker, Ted Gewertz, Charles Iannazzo and the Deweycheatum- nhowe Stable exceeded $2.2 million. Both Trotter of the Year and Horse of the Year were still not determined at press time. The year 2008 was another banner season for Perretti Farms, topping all New Jersey farms and finish- ing third nationally with earnings of $9,419,259 thanks to 310 starters who accounted for 640 victories. The course of the farm’s success has not been without some serious setbacks. On March 1, 2008, one of the sport’s most promising stallions, the Triple Crown winning trotter Wind- song’s Legacy, collapsed and died at age seven during his fourth breeding season at Perretti Farms. Perretti Farms, the largest standardbred breeding farm in New Jersey, was founded in the late 1980’s by automotive dealer and restaurateur William J. Perretti. In 2002, Perretti’s son, Anthony, took a hiatus from his Hollywood movie producing career to take the reins of the farm and, working with breeding and marketing expert Bob Marks, revitalized the opera- tion. The New Jersey Sports Writers saluted William and Anthony Perretti as New Jersey Standardbred Breeders of the Year for 2008. Perretti Farms is now home to nearly 200 broodmares and a nursery that turns out more than 120 year- lings each season. In addition to Muscles Yankee and Rocknroll Hanover, the New Jersey farm also stands Matt’s Scooter and Revenue.

10 NJSS Introduces Name Change and Purse Increase for 2009 The top tier of the two-level New Jersey Sire Stakes program has a new name in 2009 and an increase in the purses. The new name for the Pari-Mutuel Division will be the Premier Division. New Jersey Sire Stakes Premier Division events will be contested at the Meadowlands and Freehold while the Green Acres will continue to take place at Freehold only. “The new name will clearly differentiate between the top-level Pari-Mutuel Division and the Green Acres Divi- sion, both of which have been raced at pari-mutuel tracks,” explained Chris Castens, executive director of the New Jersey Sire Stakes. The 2009 New Jersey Sire Stakes will also have a revised schedule of two preliminary legs and a final in all eight categories at both the Meadowlands and Freehold. In the past, there were three preliminary legs at Free- hold for all categories and only for three-year-old divisions at the Meadowlands. “We expect that in 2009 purses will be higher for all the preliminary legs, and the New Jersey Sire Stakes finals will each be $200,000 [up from $175,000] at the Meadowlands and $100,000 [up from $85,000] at Freehold,” Castens said. The New Jersey-sired two-year-olds and three-year-olds will be competing for at least $5.4 million in 2009 New Jersey Sire Stakes. The $200,000 Meadowlands finals for the two-year-old divisions will make up a Night of Champions on July 23. The New Jersey Sire Stakes is also the sponsor of a pair of stakes for two-year-old New Jersey-sired pacers, the Lou Babic and Lou Babic Filly.
