Attention Eclipse Voters: Important Clarification I was about to send in my Eclipse votes yesterday when it was pointed out to me why I=ve been so confused about certain statistics supplied to voters by the Eclipse Awards-sponsoring organizations (Daily Racing Form, NTRA, and National Turf Writers and Broadcasters [NTWAB]); these are the Leaders= Lists, particularly for Leading Owner and Leading Breeder, both in the printed version, sent out to voters; and on line. If you read the fine print, it does say that these lists include racing from Dubai World Cup night. As it happens, on that night Godolphin sent out 19 starters and won three races and $9.7 million in prize money. If you look on the www.equibase.com website, and go to Stats for Owners (there are top-left buttons for earnings in graded stakes and all stakes also), you can see that Godolphin, in North American races, earned $3,749,075, which ranks them eighth on the owners= list by purse money. On the material sent out to voters, as well as on the website set up for Eclipse voters, Godolphin is the wide-margin leading owner, with stable earnings of $13,449,075. Again, though, $9,700,000 of that was earned in Dubai; they won 859-873-7270 • www.airdriestud.com three group races that night, including a 1-2 in the G1 Dubai World Cup, worth $8 million.

CIBELLI OUT TO CONQUER NEW TERRITORY by J.M. Severni Trainer Jane Cibelli, who has clinched the Monmouth Park training title for two consecutive years, has taken her talent to Tampa Bay Downs and, for the second season, Gulfstream Park this winter. So far, she=s tallied two wins at Gulfstream and five at Tampa, where she finished fourth in the trainer standings last year. The British-born Cibelli got her start with show horses as a child, moving to Florida to work as an exercise rider when she was in her early twenties. She now boasts a stable of about 50 horses, with 35 currently housed at Tampa Bay Downs and the remainder Jane Cibelli receiving her award for leading residing at trainer at the 2012 Monmouth Park. meet Monmouth Park Gulfstream Park. AI=ve been at Tampa for a number of years. It=s a great training surface, but the racing is not that great, unfortunately,@ Cibelli said of her reason for splitting her barn between the two Florida tracks. AThe racing is better at Gulfstream and it=s a lot more competitive, of course. It makes it challenging because you have to have assistants in both places. Luckily, I have two very, very good assistants [Nicole Romans at Gulfstream and Robbie Holman at Tampa], so it works well, but it=s challenging.@ Since becoming the first woman to take Monmouth Park=s training title in the track=s 66-year history, Cibelli has set her sights on higher goals. AObviously, the Breeders= Cup or Kentucky Derby,@ Cibelli named as future aspirations. AThat=s your dream, anyway. That=s how you know you=ve succeeded in this business.@ A key to Cibelli achieving her lofty ambitions is the quality of stock in her barn, which has steadily improved in recent years. AI=ve got a great group of clients right now,@ she said. AThey buy good horses and you=re only as good as your clients.@ Cont. p6

Cibelli cont. Goodwood Racing, a syndicate started by Cibelli, is now one of her major patrons. AI started it a couple years ago,@ the conditioner noted. AIt is a syndicate comprised of mostly existing owners that have gotten in the business as claiming owners. We go to sales and we buy yearlings and develop them.@ Goodwood Racing=s 2-year- old gelding Purple Egg (Lion Heart) is one of the most exciting prospects Goodwood racing has in training. @The first time I saw this horse gallop, I said Purple Egg winning the Inaugural S. >What a stride!= He Tampa Bay Downs did things so easily,@ Cibelli remembered. Purchased for $22,000 at Keeneland September last year, the dark bay gelding has a perfect record, having scored first out at the Oceanport oval Aug. 8, a Parx allowance contest Sept. 15 and in Tampa=s Inaugural S. Dec. 1. Cibelli is hoping for a positive beginning to the New Year, with Purple Egg set to make his next start in the one mile $100,000 Gulfstream Park Derby Jan. 1. AHis last race was his toughest after the first two came to him rather easily. I=ve always thought he wanted to go long,@ Cibelli said of the added distance. AWe=ll see were we go from there.@

HOF INTRODUCES ‘PILLARS OF THE TURF’ by Mike Kane Nearly six decades after it was the established, racing's Hall of Fame has made an historic departure from policy by adding a new category of inductees-- Pillars of the Turf--beginning in 2013. Trustees of the National Museum of Racing in Saratoga Springs, New York approved expanding the scope of the Hall of Fame during its summer meeting. Since it welcomed its first class in 1955, the Hall of Fame has been limited to outstanding horses, trainers and jockeys. The Pillars of the Turf, the equivalent of "builders" or "contributors" to divisions in many sporting halls of fame, is open to other distinguished racing people. Unlike the journalists selected for the museum's Joe Hirsch Media Roll of Honor and the five people the museum has named Exemplars of Racing since 1971, individuals chosen as Pillars of the Turf will be members of the Hall of Fame. "It's safe to say it is the biggest change we've had in 60 years," said Christopher Dragone, director of the National Museum of Racing. "I think it's long overdue, and I'm very pleased that the board made the move in this direction." Cont. p7 TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 12/29/12 • PAGE 7 of 8 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

Pillars of Turf cont. A committee of journalists, historians and trustees will select one person from the pre-1950 era and another from the more recent post-1950 years. Edward L. Bowen, the Hall of Fame chairman, will oversee the 12-person committee. Each inductee must receive 75% of the committee's votes. With two Pillars of the Turf, the 2013 Hall of Fame class could have as many as nine members, the largest group since nine were inducted in 1978. The contemporary Hall of Fame voters may elect a maximum of four inductees per year. The Steeplechase Committee, which meets every four years, could elect three individuals: a jockey, a trainer and a horse. For years, Bowen has had to defend the Museum's policy of maintaining the original approach to the Hall of Fame, which excluded significant owners, breeders and racing and track officials. When an ad hoc committee of trustees appointed by Museum president Stella Thayer began considering a proposed fourth division, Bowen was surprised to find who supported the idea. "I had always taken great pleasure in feeling that I had a small role in shepherding the vision of the great people who had created the museum, George Widener, C. V. Whitney and Walter Jeffords," Bowen said. "When we got into discussing it, Lev Miller, who is the nephew of C.V. Whitney, said he didn't feel that way. He didn't feel that there was anything sacred about doing it the way his uncle had envisioned it. "I thought, gosh, if a guy in that position doesn't feel that way, that took the sword out of my hand because why fight to preserve something that other people don't feel needs to be preserved? "It was fairly quick that the executive committee went from having never done it, to recognizing the advantage of it. It's probably hard to use the phrase, >a breath of fresh air= about something that is a half-century old, but it will be a pleasure to be reaching back and not only honoring people but helping to educate people today about the great leaders of the past." The core of the Pillars of the Turf committee is comprised of members of the Historic Review Committee: Bowen, Miller, Jane Goldstein, Ken Grayson, Jay Hovdey, Bill Mooney, Mary Simon, Michael Veitch and Gary West. Historian and journalist Bill Marshall and trustees G. Watts Humphrey and D. G. Van Clief complete the lineup. Candidates for consideration are expected to have at least 25 years of participation in the industry, but the committee has the authority to waive that requirement. It also can decide where to place an individual whose career straddles 1950. While adding a more general Hall of Fame category has been talked about informally, Dragone said that Thayer moved it to the front burner. "I think it was more of a general feeling that it was time to make a change and start thinking about honoring people," Dragone said. "Over the years there has been discussions about it. This time it got traction." Cont. p8 TDN P HEADLINE NEWS • 12/29/12 • PAGE 8 of 8 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

Pillars of Turf cont. As it does with its other categories, the Hall of Fame will accept suggestions on who to consider for Pillars of the Turf from the public. The deadline is Apr. 1. The challenge facing Bowen and his committee is who to choose for the inaugural selections. Who is the most important person in each era? "When they started the Hall of Fame, they did a little catch-up," he said. "They put in six or seven in each division in the beginning. We felt that it would be a more distinguished award if we do it one at a time." Bowen, president of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, is a veteran journalist and has written nearly 20 books on racing and its history. He said he is looking forward to the task of bringing the Pillars of the Turf category to life with a deliberate process. "Dell Hancock was on the ad hoc committee to examine the the idea, and she made the greatest comment of all: 'We've got to make sure this is very lofty,''' Bowen said. "That was her word, and I said, 'That's exactly right.@

NOMINATIONS FROM THE FLOOR: BRIAN DIDONATO'S TOP 10 PERFORMANCES I felt compelled to write after reading Brian DiDonato's 10 best performances in Friday's TDN. For me, Little Mike's Breeders' Cup Turf should not only have made the list, but should be near the top. Although the Turf lacked, for some, the depth of some of its best renewals, the six Group 1/Grade I winners in a 12-horse field certainly represented more than ample quality. Admittedly, he was 17-1, but that was less an indicator of his ability than the fact that the race figured to go against his running style. That he was able to adjust his style by coming from slightly off the pace and win at a distance at which he had never won--1 1/2 miles--certainly underscores that this was one of the best performances of the year, and a track-record setting performance at that. Other nominations from the floor? Please email [email protected].
