Deweycheatumnhowe Named Nj Horse of the Year Lack The Official Newsletter of the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey Vol. 34, No. 1 Representing owners, breeders, drivers, trainers & caretakers LACK OF UNITY LEADS TO BATTERED PURSES AT FREEHOLD It should come as no surprise that Freehold will be dropping purses to an average of $36,000 per day in 2009. “It did not take psychic abilities to see this coming,” said SBOANJ President Tom Luchento. “We told the mem- bership in the fall that if Freehold did not accept the casinos’ Purse Enhancement Agreement, there would be a day of reckoning. “Freehold has overpaid purses by nearly $900,000 this year to achieve a $52,000 a day average in purses,” Lu- chento noted. “It was why we wanted the support of our membership to pressure Freehold to take the casino funds which would have been $1.6 million for the final months of 2008 and January 2009 plus another $2.6 million in 2009. “Most horsemen ‘got it’ but there were a select few who were outspoken with a minority position,” Luchento said, referring to the November 11 meeting at Freehold Raceway. “Without the support of the Freehold horsemen, we did not have the tools to continue the battle,” Luchento con- tinued. “We need to be empowered by our members to help them. The ones who have the least to lose seemed to have the most to say, which is a shame.” The Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey is the representative body established to speak for the owners, trainers, drivers, breeders and caretakers in the state. But like any representative body, the strength of the group is based on the support of its members. “We felt that we needed to pressure Freehold to accept the funds to protect the interests of the Freehold-based horsemen,” Luchento said. “But when we did not feel 100 percent supported by a splintering of horsemen’s opinions, we took those signals and ceased our most aggressive efforts and left it to Freehold’s management to resolve the issues. As we can see, the outcome has been that the ownership of Freehold still will not sign the Purse Enhancement Agreement and the purses at Freehold will be slashed accordingly. “We take no pleasure in being right,” he noted. “The critics, far from offering solutions, merely fired blanks. But they got the attention of some people and caused dissention. “We want to remind the membership of the SBOANJ that your representatives on the Board of Directors are not your adversaries,” Luchento added. “We are the friend of horsemen; we are horsemen. We fight every day for you. We protect your health insurance and pension program. We represent you in Trenton. We spoke to your concerns to save stabling at the Meadowlands. We are always 100 percent for the horsemen and their issues. But, in turn, we need your total support for what we recommend.” DEWEYCHEATUMNHOWE NAMED NJ HORSE OF THE YEAR Deweycheatumnhowe, the trotting powerhouse who raced in the name of Schnittker, Ted Gewertz of New won the Hambletonian and all but three of his 25 ca- York, NY; Charles Iannazzo of Tappan, NY and the reer starts, has been named New Jersey Standardbred Deweycheatumnhowe Stable of Lexington, KY. of the Year for 2008. Dewey, as he is known, will be honored at the 52nd New Jersey Equine Breeders Awards dinner on January 25, 2009 at the Radisson Hotel in Freehold, NJ. The three-year-old trotting colt, sired in New Jersey by Muscles Yankee, completed his career with earnings of $3,155,178 of which $2,218,987 was banked in 2008. The unbeaten divisional champion at two, Deweychea- tumnhowe’s 2008 campaign was equally dazzling, earn- ing him another Dan Patch Award as Three-Year-Old Colt Pacer of the Year. Dewey thrived in the care of trainer-driver Ray Schnittker and enjoyed a conditioning schedule that included swim- ming in a pond and exercise under saddle. Deweycheatumnhowe, named for the shady lawyers in a comedy skit made popular by the late Johnny Carson, Schnittker often exercised Dewey under saddle.

  • ON the COVER... This Year’S Stallion Register Cover Salutes White Birch Farm in Allentown, NJ and Its Founder, Joseph S
    Dear SBOANJ Members: We are happy to once again publish the New Jersey Stallion Register and provide you with a comprehensive guide to the standardbred industry in this state. Within the pages of this book we celebrate the accomplish- ments of our racing and breeding stars and the people who make it possible for New Jersey to continue to produce some of the best harness racing in the world. While the spotlight in this book is on the stallions who will stand in New Jersey in 2009, we also salute the progeny of the program who were the stars of the 2008 racing season. Two New Jersey-sired sons of Muscles Yankee -- two-year-old Muscle Hill and three-year-old Deweychea- tumnhowe -- were named 2008 divisional champions, receiving Dan Patch Awards from the United States Harness Writers Association. In 2008, on the recommendation of the SBOANJ, the New Jersey Department of Agriculture honored Ham- bletonian winner Deweycheatumnhowe as Horse of the Year and Fair Winds Farm as Breeder of the Year. Established in 1961 with a handful of people, the SBOANJ is comprised of horse breeders, drivers, trainers, owners, and backstretch personnel, active and interested in the standardbred horse industry in the State of New Jersey. The SBOANJ’s mission is to support, promote and preserve a favorable business climate, while striving to secure closer business and personal relationships among all industry participants throughout the State. The SBOANJ is governed by a Board of Directors elected by the general membership. The Board authorizes stallion and mare registrations, negotiates with track managements, actively oversees and administers a benefits program, and advances legislation favorable to the New Jersey standardbred industry.
