FEATURE PRESENTATION • GI BELMONT S. Union Rags rallied from seventh of nine to take his five-furlong debut over the Delaware main track July 12 before decimating the field by 7 1/4 lengths in a sloppy renewal of the GII Saratoga Special S. at Saratoga Aug. 15. He skipped the GI Three Chimneys Hopeful S. in September in favor of the GI Champagne S. the following month. Sent off the 6-5 chalk that afternoon, Union Rags was patiently ridden and was snookered at a crucial stage for about a quarter of a mile, but streaked away when the daylight came to hand Alpha Coming Full Circle... (Bernardini) a 5 1/4-length defeat.

TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 6/10/12 • PAGE 4 of 14 • thoroughbreddailynews.com Belmont S. cont. Hoping for a Cleaner Trip... In an effort to change their luck, connections made a switch from Julien Leparoux to John Velazquez, who won his first Belmont astride the filly Rags to Riches (A.P. Indy) in 2007. Unmolested at the break this time around, Union Rags drifted back to about midfield as upstart and third wagering choice Paynter (Awesome Again) was ridden for speed by Mike Smith, already second aboard Bodemeister (Empire Maker) in the Derby and GI Preakness S. Following an opening quarter mile in a fairly quick :23.72, Paynter was then allowed to cover an internal half-mile in :51 as positions remained largely unchanged with another six furlongs still ahead of them. Velazquez took a look behind him shortly thereafter and asked Union Rags to get just a touch closer to Paynter, who picked up the tempo a bit and covered the mile in 1:38.85. Atigun and Leparoux moved in unison with Union Rags, though forced overland, but loomed a serious threat four wide at the quarter pole. Paynter, looking to give Ahmed Zayat his first Classic victory after several agonizing defeats, hit the eighth pole still going well, but Smith had vacated the fence and left an inviting opening for Union Rags and Velazquez to go through, if good enough. And that Union Rags proved, as he dug in tenaciously and grabbed the long-time leader in the final 40 yards for a hard-earned success. AWe always thought this horse had Triple Crown potential,@ a clearly relieved Matz commented. AWhen we trained him, we gave him four races as a 2-year-old and gave him a rest and had a good plan. He never missed a beat. His first race Z Curse... couldn=t have been any easier. He had trouble in his Pioneerofthe Nile, Nehro, Bodemeister and now second race and his third race. I do really think that this Paynter. All have carried the silks of Zayat Stables to horse, when he has a clean trip and can show himself, runner-up finishes--most of the excruciating variety--in is one of the best 3-year-olds in this crop.

  • Unknown FRIDAY, MAY 05, 2017
    “Don’t be afraid to change. You may lose something good but you may gain something better.” - Unknown FRIDAY, MAY 05, 2017 Morning Summary: Stock remain near their all-time highs. The Nasdaq is up over +15% year-to-date with the S&P 500 up over +7%. Crude oil on the other hand is trading at multi-month lows and is now down almost -20% year-to-date as U.S. production levels are nearing this of top producers such as Saudi Arabia and Russia. U.S. crude production now sits at around 9.29 million barrels a day, highest since the summer of 2015. With gas- oline demand lower and strong supplies there’s reason to believe prices at the pump may pullback in the next week or two. Today’s economic highlight will be the April Employment Report, which is expected to show U.S. employers added +175,000 to +185,000 new jobs with the unemployment rate ticking up slightly to 4.6% from a previous 4.5%. Keep in mind that March payrolls only grew by 98,000, a disappointing number that many ana- lysts attributed to temporary seasonal factors. If hiring does not indeed pick up from last month’s level, it could raise some concerns about a softening economy. Average hourly earnings and the participation rate will also be an important part of the overall equation. If both are increasing, it would send a signal that the job market may be close to full em- ployment, meaning adding new jobs is growing increasingly more difficult.

Kelly Young, Associate Director of National Affairs, New York Farm Bureau 1 December 31, 2012 New York State Racing and Wagering Board Chairman John D. Sabini Member Charles Diamond Member Daniel Hogan Dear Chairman Sabini, Members Diamond and Hogan, Pursuant to the Racing and Wagering Board’s 2011 directive establishing the Racing Fan Advisory Council, I am pleased to present you with the Council’s inaugural report of recommendations for your consideration. The Racing Fan Advisory Council has been working hard over the past year to identify a comprehensive cross section of who the current racing fan is, who the possible new fans are, and what he/she wishes to see to make the sport more attractive and enjoyable. We have held several public events over the past year to gauge attitudes and ideas from existing fans. We also collaborated on our specific areas of expertise to outline ideas to better market and expand the sport. This initial report is a mere snapshot of the ideas proposed. We believe it is a series of realistic measures that can bring about positive change to the industry. As our mission continues into the next year, we will continue to identify and map out more comprehensive recommendations to bring more fans to the sport of horseracing.

(Wednesday, May 3, 2017) – John Oxley ’s Classic Empire was made the 4-1 morning-line favorite for Kentucky Derby 143 when post positions were drawn Wednesday morning in the Aristides Lounge at Churchill Downs. Prior to the draw during morning training, Louisiana Derby (Grade II) winner Girvin galloped a mile at 6:30 in his first activity at Churchill Downs since arriving at the track Tuesday afternoon. KENTUCKY DERBY NOTES ALWAYS DREAMING/PATCH/TAPWRIT – Florida Derby (GI) hero Always Dreaming continued his early morning routine of training right when the track opens (5:45) and gallops under exercise rider Nick Bush with a special set of “draw reins” attached to give his pilot more control. The special reins were added Monday with a decent positive outcome, working their intended effect of forcing the high-strung son of Bodemeister to drop his head and concentrate on following his cues. Tuesday the transition continued and then Wednesday morning the sleek, dark runner looked especially sharp moving around the oval for a strong nine-furlong gallop three days ahead of Kentucky Derby 143. “He’s good,” said Bush afterward. “We’ve got him where we want him. He was professional today. Saturday can’t come soon enough.” Trainer Todd Pletcher , who again watched his colt exercise from the Churchill grandstand, was pleased with how his charge’s adaptation was coming along.
