F-T Preview cont. Explaining a few of the advantages to the change, Browning said, AIt was an opportunity to have a little more upscale environment with a slightly different racetrack and a slightly different barn layout that's newer. Everything is configured slightly different, with the sales horses in one area, so it makes the logistics easier for both buyers and sellers a like. It works very efficiently for us at Palm Meadows.@ While fitted with a generally appreciated racing and training surface, as well as housing facilities for back- stretch workers, Palm Meadows had not been equipped with the amenities to host a Thoroughbred sale, that is until this year. AWe have put in temporary facilities, including a large tent that is going to act as the sales pavilion,@ said Browning, explaining some of the modifications. AIt will include ancillary services, such as videos, sales of- fice and food services. We will also have tempo- rary stands in place for the breeze show. Previ- ously, we had converted the paddock at Calder for years, and that worked really well, so I think this will work well too.

F-T Preview cont. As in prior years, Fasig-Tipton scouts sought out, and according to Browning, successfully secured a solid group of athletes for this year=s catalog. AOur approach is always pretty simple, we try to find the best horses we possibly can,@ said Browning. AWe look for the combination of good pedigrees, but we do tend to lean toward athleticism. We were very im- pressed when we had visited Ocala, because that's where most of our product comes from for our two-year-old sales. During those inspections, this past fall and early winter, we were very impressed with the quality horses we saw there and continue to be so.@ Previously, Fasig-Tipton presented its breeze show on Friday before hosting the sale the following Tuesday. AThe breeze show on Friday conflicts with racing, so we really only had a choice to have a breeze show against live racing [Friday] or a sale against live racing [Thursday]. With the only dark days being on Monday's and Tuesdays, it obviously impossible to have them on consecutive days.@ Highlighting today=s racing action at Gulfstream is the GII Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth S., which has drawn divisional standout To Honor and Serve (Bernardini). ASince the Fountain of Youth is an important activity in its own right, we didn't want int squeezed in there as well,@ said Browning, explaining another factor in decid- ing against the Friday Breeze/Thursday sale option. ASo what we tried to do is have folks focus on this great racing weekend, including the Fountain of Youth, which will set the tone for the sales activities next week.@ According to Browning, the final schedule was de- signed in an attempt to accommodate the often hectic selling schedules of buyers and sellers. ABy breezing on Monday and selling on Thursday, we also eliminate one day between the breeze and the sale,@ he ex- plained. AThere used to be five days between the days, and now we have cut that to four. In the world that we live in, time is a precious commodity and it effectively short- ened the window View from Grandstand Hodge @ Fasig-Tipton by 20%. It cuts down on travel time and the time it will require people for people to attend the sale.@ Departing from what is generally considered the norm in sales= scheduling, Fasig-Tipton will host its juvenile sale in direct competition with live racing, which will be conducted down the A1A at Gulfstream in Hallandale. cont. p7 P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 2/26/11 • PAGE 7 of 8 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

F-T Preview cont. AWe talked to the folks at Gulfstream in advance,@ confirmed Browning. AWe recognized that there would either be a conflict with the breeze show or the sale. We believed the Monday/Thursday format would work very well and the feedback that we have recieved thus far has been positive. Most weeks, the competition builds as the week goes on, so the competition on a Thurday racecard is slightly lighter versus a Friday, which tends to be a little bit better.@ Browning, who admitted that Fasig-Tipton considered Video room Entrance to video room it a top priority to have potential buyers in attendance at the all-important breeze show, didn=t feel the racing Today=s renewal of the Fasig-Tipton Fountain of action down the interstate would affect buyer=s atten- Youth represents the third consecutive season that the dance of the sale.

University of KY Reporting Increase in Placentitis: Edited Press Release The University of Kentucky Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center and Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory has reported an increase in the number of cases of fetuses and placentas submitted to the laboratory and diagnosed with nocardioform placentitis. This is a unique form of bacterial placentitis affecting late gestation mares, causing abortion, stillbirth or foals born alive but compromised. This form of placentitis was first diagnosed in central Kentucky in the 1980s and has also been reported in other areas of the United States and abroad. The number of nocardioform placentitis cases fluctuates from year to year. How mares become affected has not been determined. Nocardioform placentitis is typically a sporadic occurrence on the farm, however, and there is no evidence that affected mares pose a risk to other mares in their herd. Mares experiencing nocardioform placentitis breed back normally and are not at an increased risk for reoccurrence in subsequent pregnancies. While the number of cases has increased this year, incidence within the overall population of mares is very low, with less than 1% abortions reported. According to researchers at UK, based on past observations, it is likely that the number of cases will return to average levels in future years. The Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory=s epidemiology section constantly surveys the occurrence of animal diseases, and trends are immediately noted and monitored. A detailed epidemiological study is currently To assist farms during this time of economic underway to identify risk factors associated with challenge, through support from the Kentucky nocardioform placentitis.
