BAFFERT LOOKS TO WHY RASHAD JONES IS OCALA'S BIGGEST TWO-LEGGED STAR CONTINUE =IMPROBABLE= By Bill Finley Many a great horse has come through Ocala, whether bred STREAK AT LOS AL there, broken there, or sold there. Rashad Jones couldn't tell you much about that. He doesn't know the first thing about . What he knows is barbecue and people in Marion County will tell you no one does it better. That's why you have to line up hours before his Big Lee's barbecue stand opens to get served, why he won a Food Network competition, and why he wants to put Ocala on the map for something other than horses. Forget about Memphis, Texas, North Carolina. Jones wants to make Ocala the center of a barbecue empire. "I want Big Lee's to become known as the worldwide leader in everything barbecue at some point," Jones said. Cont. p4

FLORIDA TRAC BRINGS HAPPINESS BACK TO A SPECIAL BOY by Diana Pikulski

Andrew Byrd and Kitty Litter aka Panda Bear

Henry Ford once said: "My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me." For Andrew Byrd, an 11-year-old from Port St Lucie, FL, his first best friend was a horse named Bridger who came into his life two years ago. Andrew rode Bridger every week at Holly Creek STAR Hippotherapy Center. They rode at a walk and Andrew told Bridger all of his dreams and secrets. When Andrew=s parents had to tell him of Bridger=s sudden death, they knew he would be devastated. Andrew, who is extremely kind and empathetic, suffers from Asperger=s Syndrome. AHe cried for Bridger every day for weeks,@ says Georgia Byrd, Andrew=s adopted mother. AIt wasn=t getting better. We didn=t know what to do because we never thought we would find another horse like Bridger who would be so kind and patient with Andrew.@ His sadness did not abate. After a few weeks, Andrew=s therapist had an idea. She brought the family to meet Katie Schmit at Florida TRAC. Schmit knew they were looking for a hippotherapy horse that would spend most of his time walking or just being a buddy. She brought out Kitty Litter, a Florida-bred of 2004 by Catienus who ran 65 times in his five-year career and earned $51,628. Want to list your job?

Andrew rode Kitty and they immediately connected. Georgia Byrd recalls: AAfter their ride, Andy came over to me and said, >I like him. And, I think he likes me.=@ The Byrds made the decision to adopt Kitty Litter on the spot. AI felt Kitty Litter would be a good choice for Georgia=s family as he is so calm, self-assured and nonchalant,@ recalls Schmit. AWe saw, over the years, that the more time and attention we gave Kitty Litter, the more he tuned into us, listened and tried to please. So, I felt he would thrive in this special role.@ AHe is kind and tries incredibly hard to do what is asked of him,@ Schmit added. AThere isn=t a mean or argumentative bone in his body.@ Kitty Litter has been renamed Panda Bear by Andrew, who is known by his family as Panda Boy. The entire family showers kindness, carrots and apples on Panda Bear, and all of the horses at the farm. Andrew=s sister Faith is also learning-disabled and has her own horse, an Arab named Gizmo. AWe thank God every day for Florida TRAC for giving Andy his best friend, Panda Bear,@ said Georgia Byrd. AThe kids can be having a really rough day but the horses change everything,@ explained their father Barry Byrd. AThe kids become calm and content in their work. They love to be with their horses, groom them and generally care for them as well as ride.@ Andrew and his sister brush and tack their horses with help from their parents, who watch over the activities. Then, the siblings ride their horses all over the property which is entirely fenced in. Panda patiently ambles with Andrew and never offers to break from a walk. While Andrew still fondly remembers Bridger, he says about his new horse Panda Bear: AHe is my best buddy.@ Florida TRAC has adopted out hundreds of horses. Matches like Kitty Litter and Andrew Byrd are special because of the uniqueness of their bond. AWhile we have placed several wonderful OTTBs as companions and therapy horses, as well as into upper level show barns, the majority of our horses are adopted by amateur pleasure riders, many of whom show at various levels in a wide variety of disciplines,@ explained Schmit. AThat=s the beauty of the OTTB; there isn=t much they aren=t good at.@ On making this match, Schmit says: AIt=s the best feeling in the world. It=s a life-changing win for Andrew, and for Panda Bear, too. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing these horses find their purpose, as they thrive on having one as well as being appreciated and loved. Andrew deserved a very special horse and I am so happy Panda Bear found the special spot!@ AI know how much the horses I have had in my life have affected me,@ added Schmit. ASeeing the team make a match like the one between Andrew and Panda feels like just a bit of my TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 8 OF 9 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • DECEMBER 8, 2018 debt getting paid back for the happiness these animals have brought me in my life.@ For more information about Florida TRAC, go to www.fltrac.org.

He came out of it good.@ Calumet Farm=s True Timber (Mineshaft), a strong second in the GI Cigar Mile H. Dec. 1, is also Pegasus bound. He is the second horse owned by Calumet Farm targeting the Pegasus following the announcement by Hall of Fame trainer D.

AHe ran a huge race in the Cigar Mile and he galloped out really strong, so we talked it over with the owners and decided to point for the Pegasus,@ trainer Kiaran McLaughlin said.

MEMORIAL FUND CREATED FOR LATE I'm not one of those people who thinks, >It's always been done this way, so it's got to be done this way now.' In terms of EXERCISE RIDER tradition in racing, I know there are a lot of people who say a Odanis Acuna, a veteran exercise rider for trainer Kenny Triple Crown winner should be Horse of the Year no matter McPeek, died last month during a training accident at Churchill what. I just don't think that way. If Justify had raced all year long Downs. He was 42. On behalf of his wife and children, the it would be a slam dunk. But since we didn't get to see that, as McPeek Racing Family has been raising money through a impressive as he looked in the Triple Crown, when you look back GoFundMe pageBcurrently up to more than $123,000--to ease at it, how good was that crop of 3-year-olds? I'm not sure that the financial burden during this very difficult time. Click here to they were that great. donate. He won his races in slow times and the Belmont S. was run in a controversial manner. All those things factor into my decision. If Justify had been the first Triple Crown winner in 40 years, I am sure a lot of people would be looking at this differently. But I'm not looking at it that way. I'm not saying the Triple Crown is easy to win. What I'm looking at is the two horses side by side. While it was impressive that he was undefeated, he only raced for four months, he raced against a group where I'm not sure how strong the quality was and we never got a chance to see him race against older horses. Jagow is an Eclipse Award voter.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR In Response to Bill Finley=s Dec. 7 Op/Ed: Times Have Changed: Eclipse Awards Need Rules What really should happen, but it probably won't because that's just the way it is, champions in each division should be determined as they are in every country in Europe, by the rating assigned by a designated handicapper or group of handicappers. It should not be left in the hands of voters, who in too many instances, are either ill informed or biased. If you want to have an Eclipse Award for popularity like the Cartier Awards, go ahead and do that. Cartier Award winners are not recognized as champions in sales catalogs, which is where it counts. You can still do that. It's close, but I'm siding with Accelerate because he raced all But year-end handicap ratings to assess the runners in each year long and won all the Grade I races he was in, five of them. discipline are actually done by The Jockey Club and should His only loss was by a neck to a horse (City of Light) who was an designate our champions. impressive winner in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile.
