Kentucky by defining "pari-mutuel wagering" to include previously run races passed in the House of Representatives by a 55-38 vote shortly after 8 p.m. on Thursday, with seven legislators not casting votes. Capping an emotional and contentious--but always civil--floor debate that stretched over three hours Feb. 11, the most controversial bill of the 2021 Kentucky legislative session now heads to Governor Andy Beshear, who has previously indicated support for keeping HHR intact in Kentucky. The passage of SB 120 this week by both the Senate and House clears the way--at least in the near term--for the continued operation of the 3,625 HHR machines at six licensed venues so they can keep generating $2.2. billion in annual handle. The Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund's purse-money cut from HHR is three-quarters of 1% of that handle. But even as the issue was being debated, some legislators expressed a certainty while speaking from the House floor that the HHR vote was sure to be litigated in the courts, continuing a 10-year legal odyssey in the state over whether the slot machine-like gambling machines are legal under the state's constitution.

Groups of participants took part in an eight-week program at the Bergen Equestrian Center in Leonia, New Jersey in a study that was conducted over three years. They were subjected to tests, including MRIs of the brain, before and after the program. Dr. Xi Zhu, Assistant Professor of Clinical Neurobiology, and first author on the paper said, "This project provides the first neurobiological evidence of the effectiveness of equine-assisted therapy for treating veterans and civilians who suffer from PTSD." Dr. Prudence Fisher, Associate Professor at Columbia Psychiatry, who co-led the study with Dr. Yuval Neria, also a Professor at Columbia Psychiatry, said, AThe results from this study are very exciting for the hundreds of thousands of Americans who suffer from PTSD.@ Said Neria, a lead author, "The results provide the first-of-its-kind proof that equine-assisted treatment may have not only a clinical promise but also brain-based changes that may increase a patient's capacity to enjoy life despite facing traumas and war adversities, which make this treatment so unique.@ Especially common in combat veterans, PTSD is a psychiatric disorder that occurs in people who have experienced a traumatic event or a long period in which they felt trauma. It can cause flashbacks, nightmares, anger, fear, estrangement, and a lack of trust. AImproving reward circuitry might be a significant, initial step to finding new and enhanced methods to treat this complex disorder,@ the study says. The Man O' War Project was the first equine-assisted therapy program that wasn't content to rely upon anecdotal evidence, but insisted upon a university-led research study to examine the effectiveness of equine-assisted therapy in treating veterans with PTSD. Founded in 2015 by philanthropist and businessman Ambassador Earle I. Mack, a veteran himself and longtime Thoroughbred owner/breeder, the project was born out of his concern about the mental health crisis facing veterans and his observation of anecdotal stories from various equine-assisted therapy groups, which yet had no hard science to support their results. In a 2019 interview with the TDN, Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, MD, Professor and Chair of Columbia Psychiatry and one of the driving forces behind the program, criticized the effort that had previously been put forth by the United States. AI know it works,@ Lieberman said. AThis is a very simple, intuitive therapeutic process that the government hasn=t seen fit to deal with sufficiently, and civic-minded people are stepping in. But taking it at face value, that=s not the way medicine and science works. You=ve got to prove it. And Earle was willing to submit this hypothesis to rigorous testing in the form of a clinical trial and that makes all the difference.@ TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 9 OF 16 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • FEBRUARY 12, 2021

Keeneland announced that Central Kentucky horseman and bloodstock adviser Gatewood Bell has been named Vice President of Racing at the Lexington oval and will assume duties later this month. In 2011, Bell founded Cromwell Bloodstock, a full-service bloodstock agency and consulting firm named after a company owned by his grandfather, John A. Bell, and has served as its president for the past decade. Bell, under the Cromwell Bloodstock and Hat Creek Racing banners, purchased several significant runners, including Grade I/Group 1 winners Undrafted, Hootenanny, Mastery and Con Te Partiro. Bell is also a member of The Jockey Club and previously served on the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission and as the U.S. representative for Goffs Sales of Ireland. Last October, Bell was named to Keeneland=s Board of Directors as an Advisory Board member, a position he will relinquish upon his employment.

What this means, Fox said, is that Street Sense is poised to have some bigger years ahead, and this is an opportune time to breed to him to capitalize on that. "He's flying on the track right now, but if you breed to him in 2021, you're going to be hitting the market perfectly because he's got three awesome books coming."

The Alan Spence-bred settled in a tracking third as Capezzano (Bernardini) showed the way on the front end. However, Salute the Soldier sidled up to the pacesetter's outside and stuck his neck in front late on the back straight. Capezzano punched back and those two continued to exchange blows around the far turn. Still locked together at the quarter pole, Salute the Soldier inched away from a stubborn Capezzano 300 metres from home. As the wire neared, the Fawzi Nass trainee started to tread water, but held on to win by a length from the closing Thegreatcollection (Saint Anddan). Ajuste Fiscal (Uru) (Ioya Bigtime) completed the trifecta 3/4 of a length back in third. Capezzano hung gamely on for fourth a neck behind. AIt went to plan, I expected Capezzano (Bernardini) to lead and I wanted to sit in second,@ said jockey Adrie de Vries.

Among the Moores' five purchases at the Classic Sale this week GEORGE MOORE was the sale-topper by Capitalist, Lot 374, from the draft of Kitchwin Hills for $625,000. They also purchased a colt by TO THE FORE Invader, Lot 41, on the opening day of the Sale, for $375,000. Unsurprisingly, the Moores have had substantial backing from Hong Kong-based clients, who are keen to have the option of starting their horses out in Australia and utilise their ownership permits to then hopefully import the horses to Hong Kong. "Now that Dad is in the country, we are putting a lot of time and effort into it. Since he has been here, the phone has been off the hook, everybody wants to buy a horse. A lot of those horses are likely to go to Hong Kong but we have got a lot of permits for horses to race here and at least we can hold them to qualify," Moore said. We have got good clients like Beauty Generation's Patrick Kwok. He has given us three orders to buy here. He got the Invader colt. He's given us a lot of support, and we are appreciative of that. This other client, who has taken 50% of the Capitalists also bought the Maurice that we got on Sunday (Lot 252).

Lot 374, a colt by Capitalist | Inglis "He's a son of one of my dad's best friends in Hong Kong, so he's given us a lot of support. I think that will pay off.

Having been 'compulsorily retired' by the Hong Kong Jockey Club after reaching his 70th birthday last year, John Moore decided to re-unite with Rosehill-based brother Gary and form Team Moore to make a splash back in Australia. Travel restrictions and logistics have meant John's arrival in Australia has been delayed until now, but having served his quarantine, he has wasted little time getting his head around the stock that are in the stable, and the ones that he wants. Key to his strategy has been sending out his son George to do the legwork on inspections and it has been the next generation of the Moores under his banner of George Moore Bloodstock, and he was been the face of the family when bidding on horses at Riverside Stables this week. “Everything is coming together for the stable. Dad’s been in town for about a week now, I came in about four weeks ago. I was travelling assistant trainer for Dad for about eight years, so I know his attention to detail and exactly what he wants," George George Moore | Inglis said. TDN AUSTRALIA/NEW ZEALAND • PAGE 2 OF 2 • THETDN.COM FRIDAY • 12 FEBRUARY 2021

"We are just buying the best types in the sales, like we usually do. We look at pedigrees but it is mainly a type thing. We are going to buy a lot more at Easter, too. We will probably buy six or seven at Easter, so we are going to have a good string of 2-year-olds to target the races in October and November."

Expansion a Necessity Already The challenge with that will be accommodating the new acquisitions, with Team Moore already looking at expanding from its current Rosehill base. "Our only concern right now is stable boxes. We only have 20 boxes. The good news is all the 20 boxes will be filled with really, really good horses. The bad news is if we buy 12 to 14 horses, Lot 41, a colt by Invader | Inglis it’s going to be tough, because we have already got 30 horses, that's going to take the stable to close to 50," he said. "Dad is thinking of possibly expanding to the Gold Coast and He is a half-brother to Group 1 winner Manuel (Commands) getting some boxes there. At some point we won't be able to and Group 3 winners Taking Aim (Choisir) and Computer Patch accommodate the amount of horses we are buying. We are (Exceed And Excel). going to have to figure something out." Long-term, George has ambitions to follow his father into the John Back in the Stables training ranks, but at the moment, he is focussed on continuing John Moore's arrival in Australia has been about much more his bloodstock interests and furthering his education under one than buying new horses, and the legendary trainer has also been of the most respected minds in the world of racing. spending time familiarising himself with those already under the "I'll probably go to the (Magic Millions) Adelaide Sale as we eye of he and his brother Gary. need to pick up some cheaper horses.

We are going to get the results, wants and his routines with the horses. He's happy for me to and if we don't get the results we want from these horses, I'd be work in the stable with him and I'm the cheapest labour right shocked." now, because I don’t get paid!" What has been a slight surprise, given John Moore's reputation in Hong Kong for developing horses over time, was the type of horses Team Moore has purchased at the Classic Sale. The sale-topping Capitalist colt and the Invader purchased on Sunday both look likely to be up-and-running 2-year-old types.
