YEAR SUSPENSION RECOMMENDED FOR VEITCH Robert Layton, Kentucky=s Chief Hearing Officer, recommended in a report filed yesterday that John Veitch, the state=s former chief steward, be suspended one year for his role in the controversial incident involving 2010 Breeders= Cup Ladies= Classic entrant Life At Ten at . Jockey John Velazquez, who was later fined $10,000 by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, voiced concerns during national television coverage about how his mount was warming up, but while Veitch was informed of Velazquez=s comments, he took no action and did not notify state veterinarians. Life At Ten trailed throughout the race and did not finish, but was not designated by Veitch for postrace sampling. Layton=s report charges Veitch with violating five racing regulations and argues, ABecause of Veitch=s violations, the uncertainty over Life At Ten=s performance will never be fully resolved. Such a consequence does not maintain the appearance as well as the fact of complete honesty and integrity of horse racing in the Commonwealth, and must also be considered as a factor in determining the appropriate penalty.@ Veitch was fired as Kentucky=s chief steward at the end of last month, and is currently appealing his termination on the grounds of age discrimination and incorrect identification as a Aclassified employee.@ No reasons for dismissal were given to Veitch--an Aunclassified employee,@ which Veitch argues he was, must be informed of the grounds for his or her termination and has the right to appeal.

ANOTHER STAR FOR LA QUEBRADA The historic Haras La Quebrada, which celebrated its 200th Group 1 win as a breeder in September, will look to keep the party going when the La Quebrada-bred Star Runner (Arg) (Southern Halo) goes postward in Saturday=s G1 Gran Premio Carlos Pellegrini in Buenos Aires. Star Runner, who is coming off a win in the G1 Estrellas Classic in June, could become the farm=s second Pellegrini Star Runner winner. Marcelo Sarachi/Turf Diario La Quebrada was founded by Hernan Ceriani Cernadas in 1945 in Pilar, Argentina--just 45 miles outside of Buenos Aires--and is the life=s work of three generations of Argentinian horsemen. Following in his father=s footsteps, Hernan Rodolfo Ceriani Cernadas led the farm until his passing in 2007, and the operation is currently run by the founder=s grandson Hernan Ceriani Cernadas, III. AMy grandfather started it,@ Ceriani Cernadas recalled. AAnd then my father was the one who grew it and made it so successful. I just continued on with the family tradition.@ During Hernan Rodolfo=s term at the helm of La Quebrada, the face of breeding in Argentina was forever changed by the arrival of Southern Halo in 1988. The stallion became the country=s most successful sire, leading the standings from 1994 to 2001, as well as in 2003 and 2007. He also topped the broodmare sire=s list from 2004 through 2010. ASouthern Halo was very important to La Quebrada,@ Ceriani Cernadas said. AHe was an excellent stallion here, and now he is an excellent broodmare sire. He made many things possible for my father. When Coolmore bought him, he was the first stallion to shuttle from Argentina to the Northern Hemisphere. That was something new here.@ Southern Halo died in November of 2009, but his tradition of siring stars of the Argentinian turf continues with Pellegrini hopeful Star Runner, who is already a three-time Group 1 winner. AIn Argentina, I think everything is before Southern Halo or after Southern Halo,@ Ceriani Cernadas said. AFor La Quebrada, in particular, we had very good bloodlines in our mares, but Southern Halo moved them all up. If you had a family that had a stakes winner, he would produce a group winner, if there was a maiden family, he would produce a winner. He improved all his mares.@ Cont. p5 P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 12/15/11 • PAGE 5 of 6 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

La Quedbrada cont. When Chuck Berry (Arg) (Grand Reward) won the G1 Gran Premio Polla de Potrillos in September, he was earning La Quebrada=s 200th Group 1 win. The farm has bred close to 120 Group 1 winners, including 2001 GI Spinster S. winner Miss Linda (Arg) (Southern Halo) and this year=s GI Santa Margarita Invitational winner Miss Match (Arg) (Indygo Shiner). La Quebrada stands eight stallions, including Luhuk, Mutakddim, Indygo Shiner, Grand Reward and El Corredor. While the farm=s primary focus is commercial breeding, it does race fillies with a future in its broodmare band.

La Quebrada a Family Affair... With his family=s background, it might seem like the grandson=s profession would be a given, but Ceriani Cernadas=s father insisted his son follow another family tradition first. AI was born at the farm and when I was young, I always was at the farm with my father,@ he explained. ABut my grandfather was a notary and also my father was a notary. My father told me, >If you want to do what I am doing [at La Quebrada], first of all you have to study law. Then you can work with me.= ASo that=s what I did,@ he continued. AWhen I finished school, I started university. I studied in the afternoon and at night, but in the mornings, I would be working with my Ceriani Cernadas father. When I finished at the Turf Diario university, I started working full time with him. My father passed away in 2007 in January and now I am in charge of the farm.@ Taking charge of his family=s legendary breeding operation, which includes a broodmare band of some 230 head, might be overwhelming, but Ceriani Cernadas, who runs La Quebrada with the help of his sister Maria Ines, admits there usually isn=t time to get caught up in the magnitude of what he is doing. AMy whole life, when I thought about this moment, I thought there would be a lot of pressure,@ the Argentinian explained. ABut when my father passed away, I didn=t have time to think if there was pressure or not. I was so busy. I am very proud of the team my father put together to work with him. The team really supported me and my sister--they supported us and made our job very easy.@ Ceriani Cernadas has one daughter and Aone on the way.@ His sister has two daughters and a son. Asked if the young children would carry on the family business, he smiled, AWe still have time to see.@ All horses in the TDN are bred in North America, unless otherwise indicated P TDN HEADLINE NEWS • 12/15/11 • PAGE 6 of 6 • thoroughbreddailynews.com

Eye on the Pellegrini... Should Star Runner, or fellow La Quebrada-bred Calidoscopio (Arg) (Luhuk), win Saturday=s G1 Carlos Pellegrini, he would join 1987 winner Larabee (Arg) (Babor {Arg}) as the farm=s only graduates to win Argentina=s biggest race. AIt is a race that everybody wants to win,@ Ceriani Cernadas said of the Pellegrini. AIt=s always a very open race and always a hard race to win. Horses come from all over South America, and now the mare [Perfect Shirl] is coming from the States, it makes it bigger.@ Ceriani Cernadas was at the track when Larabee won in 1987, and the victory is still recalled fondly. AI remember that race very well,@ he confirmed. AI was 14 and I was very impressed that day. The owner of Larabee unfortunately passed away this year, but I met his son a month ago and we were just talking about Larabee and the Pellegrini. So imagine we are still talking about it all these years later.@ Star Runner was 14th in last year=s Pellegrini, but is unbeaten in four starts since for owner Enrique Nunez and trainer Ernesto Romero. He has reeled off three straight Group 1 triumphs, most recently taking the Estrellas Classic over the San Isidro turf. AStar Runner is going to be one of the favorites for sure,@ Ceriani Cernadas said. AHe was always a very nice-looking horse and he=s very fast. The only question mark is that he hasn=t raced since June, but his trainer told me the other day that he is doing perfect. But with 859-873-7270 • www.airdriestud.com the Pellegrini, like all the big races, you have to have the right horse, but also the jockey has to do everything " " " right in the race. @ AI think now racing is attracting a new generation of Perfect Shirl (Perfect Soul {Ire}) will become the first fans,@ he explained. AI think it took time for the Breeders= Cup winner to compete in the Pellegrini, and racetracks to learn about new technology, new ways of her presence has generated extra buzz around the communicating and the internet, and to use them to event. show people the sport. Now there are a lot of young AI was very surprised by the decision to run her and I people, not only coming to the races, but also there are am very happy about it,@ Ceriani Cernadas said.

RIDERS BANNED IN CORRUPTION CASE Jockeys Jimmy Quinn, Kirsty Milczarek, Greg Fairley and Paul Doe were yesterday handed lengthy bans after being found in breach of the rules of racing at the British Horseracing Authority's hearing into alleged corruption. Fairley and Doe--who no longer ride--were banned for 12 years, Milczarek for two and Quinn for six months as the investigation reached a conclusion in London. Former jockey Paul Fitzsimons, who now trains, was found not guilty by the panel while other individuals involved included owners Maurice Sines and James Crickmore, who allegedly laid their horse on a betting exchange. The charges related to 10 races between Jan. 17 and Aug. 15 2009, during which time Doe and Fairley were alleged to have deliberately ensured horses did not run on their merits. Quinn and Yesterday=s Results: Milczarek were found in breach of more minor offences, ZENNIHON NISAI YUSHUN-Listed, -59,500,000, and the latter declared that she is set to appeal Kawasaki, 12-14, 2yo, 1600m, 1:41.60, hy. yesterday.
