SPORTS BETTING AND MIND YOUR BISCUITS SOLD, TO STAND IN JAPAN by Joe Bianca RACING: AFTER JERSEY, Three-time Grade I/Group 1-winning sprinter Mind Your Biscuits (Posse–Jazzmane, by Toccet) has been sold to Teruya THEN WHAT? Yoshida’s Shadai Farm in Japan, where he will stand stud after being retired from racing, trainer Chad Summers confirmed Wednesday. The story was first reported by Thoroughbred Racing Commentary. The 5-year-old chestnut, voted New York-bred Horse of the Year in 2016, is best known for winning back-to-back renewals of the G1 Dubai Golden Shaheen the past two years. “They approached us last summer at Saratoga and had some representatives come look at the horse and liked him,” Summers said. “Over the wintertime, [bloodstock agent] Eugenio [Colombo] stayed in touch with us. When we won in Dubai again this year, they came and made us an offer, which I turned down. Then they made us another offer, which I took.” Cont. p6 (Click here) IN TDN EUROPE TODAY CRAVEN TOPPER BECOMES A RISING STAR Parx Racing | Sarah Andrew Legends Of War (Scat Daddy), the top lot at last month’s Tattersalls Craven Sale and also a graduate of Fasig-Tipton’s by Bill Finley Turf Showcase, earns ‘TDN Rising Star’ status on debut.

But while the focus has been on Monmouth, a handful of other states with racing are poised to begin accepting sports wagering as well, and some are very close. In fact, there is some speculation that Delaware Park, and not Monmouth, could be the first Thoroughbred track to take single-game sports bets. With laws having already been passed in Delaware, West Virginia and Pennsylvania to allow sports betting, experts predict those states will fall closely in line behind New Jersey. Mississippi is also close to opening sports books, but there are no racetracks in that state. While several other states are expected to eventually legalize and open sports books, most need to still clear political and legislative hurdles before being able to do so. A look at the three racing states, beyond New Jersey, that are ready to go with sports betting and what that may mean for racing there begins on page three.

Sports Betting cont. from p1 Delaware: Delaware was in a unique position in that it already had a limited legal form of sports wagering prior to the Supreme Court striking down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act as unconstitutional. Delaware’s racetracks --Delaware Park and the harness tracks Dover Downs and Harrington Raceway--have been allowed to take parlay bets on sporting events, but not single game wagers. Because the limited form of sports betting already existed in the state, Delaware’s Governor and Attorney General have announced that they see no reason they cannot implement full-fledged sports betting as soon as possible. No date has been given as to when the racetracks will be allowed to start taking sports bets, but expectations are they will be up and running before the end of June. There are no standalone casinos in Delaware. Delaware’s horse racing industry is also well-positioned to benefit from sports betting because Delaware is the only state where sports betting laws are in place that require part of the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile: profits to go to purses.

She also speculates that, over time, the money will go down. “I think this will mean better days are ahead for Delaware Park for a two to three-year period,” she said. “That’s because we’re going to be up and running before some other states. Then I think we’ll have the same thing happen that happened to our casino. We had a good solid 10 years where our only competition was Atlantic City.

Sports Betting cont. West Virginia: West Virginia passed the West Virginia Sports Lottery Wagering Act in March. The law permits the state’s five gaming facilities, which include Charles Town and Mountaineer Park, to offer sports betting under the lottery’s oversight. The state is now formulating rules and regulations covering sports betting and the plan is for it to be up and running in the Mountaineer State by the beginning of the NFL season. As is the case with most states that have passed sports betting legislation, there is nothing in the legislation that requires the track owners or casinos to give any money to purses. Charles Town is owned by Penn National Gaming and Mountaineer is owned by Eldorado Resorts. Though neither company has any incentive to push some of the sports betting profits into racing, Randy Funkhouser, president of the Charles Town HBPA, remains hopeful that track owners will put some of the money into purses, calling it “the right thing to do.” “I don’t know what they plan to do,” Funkhouser said. “It was years ago when [Penn National] came and bought Charles Town and the horsemen got behind them. There were some problems with the previous owners. We welcomed them and we worked hard to make it happen. Since then, they have been extremely successful here. I know corporations are not eager to part with their monies, but people have worked very hard to give them the opportunity to run a successful business at Charles Town. This has always been the cash cow and they need try to help the horsemen who have really suffered terribly over the last few Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania legalized sports betting when it years.

"I'm really happy with what I got to do," Clawson said of her riding career. "I rode some really nice horses and I galloped some even nicer horse, which was even more fun for me. I got to go to Belmont, Saratoga and it was a lot of fun--but not something I wanted to long-term."

LONGWAYS STABLES BUILDING ON SUCCESS CRAVEN TOPPER BECOMES By Daithi Harvey A RISING STAR Selling a subsequent Royal Ascot winner is always a great boost to a breeze-up business, and when Le Brivido (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) won the G3 Jersey S. at the Royal Meeting last year it was just the kind of result Mick Murphy and Sarah O=Connell were craving to give their burgeoning breeze up operation some extra gravitas. The pair has been preparing and consigning 2-year-olds for a number of years under their Longways Stables banner and the fruits of their labour and racecourse success were borne out at Arqana earlier this month when they sold another son of Siyouni for i385,000. The colt was a brave 100,000gns pinhook at Tattersalls last October and Murphy said he felt the success of Le Brivido was certainly a factor in the generous return seven months later. Cont. p2

Pyro was the highest-grossing sire at the Hokkaido Training Sale | Darley

Training Sale Still on Upward Curve Cont. The average was -7,747,390 and median -6,048,000, and both were down from 2017 but up from 2016 figures. Each year, the Hokkaido Training Sale at Sapporo Racecourse attracts Asian buyers from all over the continent and this year was no exception, with groups from Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, and Korea in attendance. This trend should continue to grow with Quarter Back (Jpn), a 2017 graduate, running in the Singapore Guineas this Saturday. For the second year in a row it was also one of the international buyers who topped the sale. Hong Kong's Yeong Hung Wae claimed a Bamboo Ere (Jpn) colt for -45,000,000 ($409,948). The colt was originally purchased for -7,000,000 ($63,769) at the October Autumn Sale as yearling and consigned by Yoshizawa Stables. Pyro grossed highest of any stallion at the sale with -56,160,000 for six lots sold. Thirty-one lots broke the -10- million barrier and six were over -20-million. Older stallions Neo Universe (Jpn) and Zenno Rob Roy (Jpn) did well in the sale with lots going for -26,000,000 and -22,500,000, respectively. Overall, from the 228 lots offered on the day, 151 sold with a 66.2% clearance rate. This was a decline from last year's 74.52%; however, there were 20 more lots offered this year than last. While the JRHA=s Select foal and yearling sales still dominate the market in Japan, the training sale market is continuing to develop. As Japan continues to slowly shift away from the purchase of foals, as it has done over the past decade, the prospects for the Hokkaido Training Sale will continue to grow.
