The Buckeye Harness Horseman |November 2016 3 From Your President Kevin Greenfield It is hard to believe the summer racing season has come and gone so quickly. Yet, a lot has happened in the last several months. First, Breeder's need to be aware that they must register their mares with the OHHA by December 31st of this year if they wish to participate in the newly established Ohio Breeder's Awards Pro- gram. We are thrilled that after several years of hard work, our efforts have paid off for Ohio breeder's. You can access the necessary forms from the OHHA website, however, if you have any questions, please call the OHHA office and a representative will be happy to assist you. The last quarterly Board of Directors meeting was October 25th. This was an extremely important meeting in that, among other topics, allocations for next year's programs were discussed, the possibility of a second tier sires stakes program and our long term marketing plan. As new programs are adopted and implemented, I encourage each member if you have any questions or concerns please contact the OHHA office and your voice will be heard as we go forward. We are here to serve our members so your input is very important. Finally, our efforts to protect what we have in the legislature is a never ending battle. We need each and every one of our members to support this effort by donating whatever you can afford to give to our PACER initiative. Please send your person- al check to the OHHA made payable to PACER. By doing so, you have decided to be an important part of our efforts to protect our wonderful sport here in Ohio. Until next time, my best to all of you.

Regularly scheduled Racing Commission Meeting September OSRC Meeting Recap recap from Thursday September 29, 2016 at the Columbus Riffe Center In normal business the Executive Director’s Approval Items were discussed and ratified. No documents were provided or disclosed to the public. There was no comment on items provided to the Commissioners contained in the Executive Director’s Report. The Racing Commission unanimously ratified the Executive Director’s Report items. In new business the 2017 Race Dates were discussed. The Racing Commission set forth that they were a carbon copy of last year’s dates with the exception of one day. On the thoroughbred side Mahoning Valley will race 100 days including one quarter horse program. Belterra Park will race 93 days with a schedule identical to 2016. ThistleDowns applied for 100 days, identical to 2016. Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park raced 221 days in 2016 and was approved to race 221 days in 2017. Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway was approved for 75 days, which is the minimum they are required to race under the law. Scioto Downs is required to race a minimum of 125 live days under the law, they requested 90 days, which was the same schedule raced in 2016. Miami Valley Gaming and Racing raced 88 days in 2016, asked for 87 days in 2017, and are required by statute to race a minimum of 125 days. Both Miami Valley Gaming and Scioto Downs are required by law to receive approval from the OHHA to race fewer live days than the law mandates, approval occurs via a two-party agreement, which is put into place to compensate for the abbreviated schedule. Both Miami Valley and Scioto Downs’ Two-Party Agreements were finalized and filed prior to the meeting providing approval for the abbreviated schedules. The Racing Commission considered each race date application separately and approved all Live Race dates for 2017 unanimously. Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway appeared pursuant to O.A.C. 3769-3-02(A) and 3769-13-02(A) to request approval for two new exotic wagers to be offered at Hollywood Gaming’s racetracks at Dayton and Mahoning Valley. The wagers are Pick-Six multi-race pick wagers also known as, “Rainbow Pick-Six” in other racetrack locations. The multi-race wager is a .20 minimum to place a bet and the only time a winner is declared is if there is a single winning ticket. If there is a single winning ticket that ticket will take the entire carryover pool balance on that date. From a single winning ticket multiple winners will split the consolation pool. During discussion ThistleDowns represented that they had offered the same Pick-six wager for the previous two months. The Racing Commission unanimously ratified the Hollywood Gaming’s request. In the Monthly Racing Commission financial report, through the end of Fiscal Year 2016 showed a net loss of $40,000, which was on target with the projected revenue prediction. The revenue decrease was primarily due to the timing of various different expenses for normal operations and travel, and included over $7,000 for IT hardware upgrades and Cloud Based database service costs. Revenue was down 3% due to a decrease in overall live and in-the-building simulcasting handle statewide. There was no monthly status update on the Permit Holder and Horsemen’s Agreement Negotiations between Belterra Park and the Ohio Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (OHBPA).

Dispatched at odds of 15-1 and facing open company for the first time in her career, Brookletsuprsonic and driver Kyle Ater dropped into the two-hole early in the :27.2 opening quarter, then sat chilly in the pocket through middle panels of :56.3 and 1:24.2. First-over bids first by favored She’s Shocking and then by last week’s winner Town Temptress faltered around the final turn resulting in an opportunity for the eventual winner to pounce from the pocket at the head of the stretch .

Owner Kirk Nichols plucked Brookletssuprsonic from a $10,000 claiming race at Scioto Downs in July and entrusted her to his longtime trainer Dan Ater. Following five consecutive second and third place finishes in $15,000 claimers and high condition races, she was “forced” into the open where she was relegated to longshot status. But the combination of being in razor sharp form and the heads-up steer by Ater resulted in this old grey mare being MORE than she used to be…at least on this night. Brookletssuprsonic paid $32.80 to win, while the exacta returned a robust $126.20. Successful 10-cent superfecta punters were rewarded with a $133.45 payoff. Ohio County Fairs Updates

The Buckeye Harness Horseman |November 2016 31 New Beginnings: From Racehorse to Child’s Mount, an Easy Transition for No Satin Intended By Winnie Morgan Nemeth It’s not unusual for Jim Arledge, Jr. to have a New Vocations horse hanging out at one of his barns. Jim has always been quick to lend a helping hand shipping retiring horses between tracks enroute to New Voca- tions’ trainer Jennifer Daniels. In early February of 2015, though, the gelding going to Jennifer was Jim’s own personal horse No Satin Intended. Jim was especially fond of the 7-year-old pacer that had earned $59,266 but was now struggling to be competitive. Jim didn’t want to leave the gelding’s fate to the claim- ers and chose instead to send him to New Vocations to find a new career. “We were happy to be able to help No Satin Intended on to the next chapter in his life,” said Standard- bred Program Director Winnie Nemeth. “Jim takes such good care of his horses; we knew the gelding would be in beautiful condition, and he certainly was!” He was as fat as a butterbean, which just happened to be his nickname. “Butterbean was big and handsome and extra friendly,” Jennifer said. “He draws people in and just eats up their attention. Equine Affaire was coming up, and I thought he’d make a good petting stall horse.” In the meantime, as Jennifer was transitioning Butterbean to riding, stellar, long time adopter Debbie Schiff came to the barn to check him out. Debbie is the founder of the wonderful Standardbred promotional group Ohio Standardbreds and Friends. In addition to creating the Standardbred World Show, Debbie and OSAF hold fun shows, trail competitions, hunter paces, and breed demonstrations along with organizing campouts and youth activi- ties. It all revolves around Standardbreds. Her love of the breed and her passion for promoting its qualities Debbie Schiff with Butter- overflows to all those around her. In late March of 2015, Butterbean was fortunate, indeed, to be chosen by bean. Photo submitted by Debbie Schiff to join her family of Standardbreds. New Vocations. “Butterbean is a “poster boy” for the typical Standardbred personality. He is charming and handsome – and he knows it. He was accustomed to being the stable favorite and was, well, slightly spoiled. He is very quiet and enjoys just standing like a statue for all to admire. His former groom said Butterbean was the horse that they would let young visitors to the barn sit on, pet and brush. “Under saddle, Butterbean is rather lazy and has a fantastic canter, both unusual traits for a harness horse. He can go from a walk straight to a collected canter – something that many Standardbred riders work hard to accomplish, but it actually comes very easy to Butterbean. Apparently, he often cantered in harness during his early morning workouts, as well. “Butterbean has been ridden by my grandchildren ages 10 – 18. He has been a great addition to our barn and has found a home – a life beyond the track – where he is spoiled and treated like the “King” he thinks he is. These Standardbreds are Treasures From The Track – every exceptional home needs one to call their own.” Pre-Jug Party and Charity Auction Raises Money and Awareness for New Vocations by Winnie Morgan Nemeth
