To: The Honorable Andrew Cuomo Members of the New York State Legislature On behalf of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Board of Directors, I am pleased to present this annual report for 2010. This submission contains a thorough analysis of Breeding Fund activities in what was a challenging year for the breeders, racehorse owners and stallion owners served by the Fund.
At the same time, it was a year when stakeholders experienced very positive developments. The underpinnings of New York's thoroughbred industry were stabilized when state leaders embraced Genting New York as the operator of what will be one of the state's biggest Racinos. When that facility opens at Aqueduct in 2011, NYRA will realize a reliable revenue stream. It will also boost the Breeding Fund's incentive program.
By making these incentives more generous, we will be in better position to attract new people to this exciting sport and form of recreation.
Horse racing and agriculture-related industries play a vital role in the overall state economy and helps to preserve green space and bolster tourism in our state. The work by the Fund helps assure that New York remains a preeminent racing jurisdiction.
The Fund's chief challenge in 2010 was tied to the demise of New York City OTB, which historically provided roughly one-third of all Fund revenues. The corporation declared bankruptcy in December 2009 and later stopped statutory payments owed to the Fund. However, the Racing and Wagering Board secured a directive requiring 0113 to set aside
revenue for the Fund in segregated accounts. As a result, most of that set-aside money was paid to the Fund by mid-December 2010.
Today, the future of New York racing appears far brighter than it did just one year ago. The Fund is strong and weathered the storm. We look forward to another year of rising to the challenges that come our way. Sincerely,
John D. Sabini, Chairman
Executive Summary
To put a fresh twist on the slogan of the New York Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund programs, New York-breds in 2010 still started with an advantage. Chief among those advantages: approximately $7.8 million* in awards earned by breeders, stallion owners, and race horse owners in 2010. These awards help program participants pay feed bills, property taxes, and employees. Thus, the Fund continues to serve as a catalyst for the preservation of the State’s thoroughbred industry and the retention of an estimated 40,000 agri-business jobs in all parts of the state’s agricultural sector.
The 2010 report details highlights of NY-bred accomplishments at home and abroad, and provides a detailed accounting of receipts and disbursements of the Breeding Fund’s three major incentive areas – breeder awards, stallion awards, and open-company owner awards. Additionally, it contains the performance results of New York-breds at the racetrack and an analysis of the success of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding Program regarding farm count, foal production, and New York-based stallions and their progeny.
Among the highlights of 2010 were the accomplishments of New York-bred A Shin Forward, who won the Grade 1 Mile Championship at Kyoto race track in Japan in late November. Horses born on New York soil racked up international earnings totaling $69,289,272 in 2010. Bred by Edition Farm in Waccabuc, A Shin Forward’s earnings now top $3.3 million, making him the second-highest NY-bred earner behind famed Kentucky Derby winner Funny Cide.
Speaking of A Shin Forward, we would be remiss if we did not mention that the entire equine community mourns the death of Henry “Harry” Malloy this past fall. Harry and his wife Vivien enjoyed running Edition Farm together, and have campaigned horses on the New York circuit for nearly three decades. The couple has passed on their love of horses to their five children and eleven grandchildren and step- grandchildren. Mrs. Malloy told friends she believes Harry had his arms around the horse when A Shin Forward crossed the finish line in stakes-record time.
The Malloys serve as a shining example of the kind of love and dedication to horses that drives so many of our breeders to carry on during tough times. Add to that a devotion to their farm land that would rival that of Gone With the Wind’s Gerald O’Hara (“Land’s the only thing in the world worth working for, fighting for, worth dying for, because it’s the only thing that lasts”) and the reader will understand why the state’s breeders stick with the program as they tighten their belts and look for signs of stability and upswing in the equine economy. For many, stewardship of their land is something they look upon as a duty, which fits perfectly with the Breeding Fund’s mission: to preserve, protect, and promote the green-belt sector of NYS in order to foster the growth and expansion of NY’s thoroughbred breeding industry.
We can look back on the Fund’s more than three-and-a-half decades of impact on the thoroughbred and agri-business economies and see that the programs administered by the Fund are at the very heart of what helps sustain the breeding of thoroughbreds here in the Empire State. Over 37 years, the Breeding Fund has returned nearly $350 Million to our agricultural and equine economy.
Significantly, New York-breds have the opportunity to compete for good purse money in restricted company on what is arguably the best circuit in the nation at Aqueduct, Belmont Park, and Saratoga Race Track operated by the New York Racing Association. During last summer’s spa meet, NY-breds competed for an average purse of $44,849. And New York-breds also have the “advantage” of the opportunity to earn good money by running at Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack in the central part of our state. New York-sired horses win approximately 60% of all races run at the racino, and about one- third of all stakes races. In addition, a 2007 study found that with 115 trainers and 475 full-time employees, the racino has a $120 million economic impact annually on the surrounding region.
Because the New York Breeding Program has become the envy of other states, several locales have pumped up their programs in an attempt to dethrone the acknowledged leader. The state of Indiana bankrolled some $200,000 worth of advertising to lure breeders to the Hoosier State. New Jersey cut back on racing dates, boosted purses, and generated an increase in total pari-mutuel handle of $123 million. Those higher purses forced NYRA to compete for horses to fill the starting gate by raising purse money for open-company races and cutting back on purses for NY-breds. Another challenge to breeders and commercial boarding operations in NYS comes from our neighboring state of Pennsylvania, where $20 million annually is now disbursed through the PA program.
Most readers are aware that the 2009 bankruptcy of NYC OTB, its subsequent failure to make full statutory payments to the Fund in 2010, followed by the failure of legislators to approve a settlement worked out over many months by major stakeholders had a negative impact on the industry in NYS. Add to that backdrop the fact that the Fund’s revenue is based solely on handle, which has been falling steadily for several years,** and it becomes apparent why the Fund had to make adjustments so that it could maintain its commitment to its core mission of preserving green space. Those adjustments included staff reductions, an extension of 2009 changes to the awards structure, and additional duties for the field inspectors who help maintain the integrity of the Breeding Fund Registry.
Looking forward, it’s clear that NY-breds will be starting with a NEW advantage that comes with the delivery in mid-2011 of the long-promised VLTs at Aqueduct. Expected to be operational by July, the handle from the VLTs will fuel purse increases at the NYRA tracks and generate additional revenue for the Fund. For budgetary planning purposes, the Fund is estimating that each machine will generate an average of $275 per day, a figure that NYRA believes to be conservative.
As you’ll see in the pages ahead, the roster of stallions standing in the state is a smaller but arguably stronger group of studs than has been here in the past. Two major Kentucky farms have launched satellite stallion operations by teaming up with farms that had already earned good reputations among the state’s breeders.
The leading breeder in the nation, Adena Springs, teamed up in late 2010 with McMahon Thoroughbreds in Saratoga Springs. The Vinery operation out of Kentucky is providing NY-breeders with access to the Giant’s Causeway, Distorted Humor, and AP Indy sire lines as they add to the strong roster of stallions at the old Empire Stud in Hudson.
The reader will also find in these pages the results of the 2009 Harry M. Zweig research report from Cornell University. When the 2010 report is published, the Fund will update this annual report to reflect
the latest equine research performed at Cornell with the support of $228,000 (preliminary figure) supplied by the Fund.
______* As this report is being prepared, the Fund is still waiting for final revenue figures from racetracks and OTBs. ** “Thoroughbred racing declined nationally in handle by 7.3% in 2008, by 9.8% in 2009, and by 8.4% in the first four months of 2010.” Bennett Liebman. The New York Times, June 6, 2010.

Performance of NY Stallions in 2010
By Rab Hagin
For the first time since the 2002 season, two stallions standing in New York had over $4 million in annual progeny earnings: Posse ($4,224,805) and Freud ($4,035,403). And a total of eight New York stallions (all living) topped $2 million – the highest number of living annual multi-millionaire sires ever to stand in New York. A dozen New York-based stallions had more than $1.6 million in 2010 progeny earnings, and the 11 of those that are still living (one died in 2006) are all scheduled to remain in the state for the 2011 breeding season. Freud, who entered stud in New York in 2002, became the first stallion with more than $4 million in annual New York-conceived progeny earnings since the late Cure the Blues achieved that distinction following his death more than a decade ago.
Third-leading 2010 New York-based sire Repent ($3,016,624) and fourth-leading Congaree ($2,904,673) both stood in the state in 2010, while Touch Gold ($2,894,002) and Alphabet Soup ($2,605,414) arrived later in the year as part of the Adena Springs contingent to stand at Joe and Anne McMahon's McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds. Golden Missile ($2,539,814) has stood at Dr. Jonathan Davis' Milfer Farm in Unadilla since 2008, but Grade 1-winning miler Purge ($2,288,817) is another late 2010 arrival to the Empire State, standing at Vinery New York in Hudson. Catienus ($1,913,144) and New York-bred Read the Footnotes ($1,879,444) both have stood substantial stretches of their stud careers in New York.
Among New York's new stallion arrivals for 2011 that have not been represented by runners are two multiple Grade-1 winners of more than $2.3 million each: Tiago, whose first foals arrive in 2011 and who stands at Adena Springs/McMahon; and Marsh Side, who is entering stud under Questroyal Stud management. The track record-setting Tiago (Pleasant Tap – Set Them Free, by Stop the Music) is scheduled to stand for $5,000 (live foal) as the property of a syndicate. Marsh Side (Gone West – Colonial Play, by Pleasant Colony), a stakes winner on both turf and Polytrack, is owned by Robert Evans and stands at Silvernails Farm in Pine Plains for an introductory fee of $2,000 (live foal).
Multiple Grade-2 winner Silent Name (Sunday Silence – Danzigaway, by Danehill), whose first offspring are 2-year-olds of 2011, is another stallion on the Adena Springs/McMahon roster and has a 2011 fee of $5,000 (live foal). Entering stud at McMahon are graded winners Harlem Rocker (Macho Uno – Freedom Come, by Lit de Justice) and Coal Play (Mineshaft – Wiscasset, by Kris S.) – the former as part of the Adena Springs contingent, and the latter as the property of McMahon. Harlem Rocker, who finished first in Aqueduct's Grade 1 Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile in 2008 but was disqualified to second, has a 2011 fee of $3,500 (live foal), and Coal Play, a standout miler, has a fee of $4,000 (live foal) for 2011. Entering stud at Vinery New York is multiple Grade-2 winner Justenuffhumor (Distorted Humor – Justenuffheart, by Broad Brush), who is a half-brother to Eclipse Champion Dreaming of Anna and stands as a Darley Stallion for $5,000 (live foal).
Impressive Lineup of New Stallions Standing in NY
By Tracy Egan
A review of the trimmed-down list of registered New York stallions suggests that the needs of mare owners have dictated a retreat to quality for those studs standing in the state. Looking back to the year 2000, 134 stallions were holding court for mares. Just 68 owners registered stallions for 2010, and by the end of January 2011, 70 stallions had fulfilled the requirements of registration to stand stud duty in New York in 2011. The owners of these horses can anticipate collecting stallion awards from purses enriched by the long-awaited unveiling of Video Lottery Terminals at Aqueduct.
Certainly the two major Kentucky operations – Adena Springs and Vinery – that sent stallions to New York in late 2010 to stand for the 2011 breeding season believe that New York breeders will welcome the chance to breed their mares to in-state sires when those stallions are quality performers from good families and represent desirable sire lines. As Dermot Carty, Director of Sales for Adena Springs, put it, “The slots initiative in the state of New York is very compelling. The prospect of improved purses as well as stallion and breeder’s awards was a strong motivation for Adena Springs Farm to support the New York State program with our stallions.”
Adena Springs topped its roster of studs standing at McMahon Thoroughbreds in Saratoga Springs with proven sire Touch Gold. The son of Deputy Minister has already sired 10 graded stakes winners and, with a $10,000 stud fee, figures to attract some of the state’s top mares whose owners are looking for Northern Dancer bloodlines.
Listed alphabetically, the other Adena stallions that are new to New York are Breeders’ Cup Classic winner Alphabet Soup; Withers S. [G3] winner Harlem Rocker, who brings the Macho Uno sire line to New York; Silent Name (JPN), a dual G2 winner by top Japanese sire Sunday Silence out of a graded stakes-winning daughter of Danehill; and Tiago, the son of Pleasant Tap who earned $2.3 million dollars while notching wins in such prestigious Grade 1’s as the Santa Anita Derby, The Goodwood Stakes and the Oaklawn Handicap, and who offers an outcross pedigree free of Raise A Native/Mr. Prospector and Northern Dancer.
Vinery made a seamless move into New York by taking over Empire Stud in Hudson. Having made its first foray into the NY stallion ranks in 2010 by sending popular sires Posse and Repent to the Hudson operation, Vinery took some more well-measured steps by sending three more graded stakes winners to the state for the next breeding season.
First-year sire Justenuffhumor, a son of Distorted Humor, won two Grade 2’s on the turf at Saratoga Race Course in 2009: the Bernard Baruch Handicap and the Fourstar Dave Handicap. Charlie Boden, head of sales at Darley, which campaigned Justenuffhumor, said, “The New York breeding program is poised to become one of the most lucrative places in the country to raise a horse. We think Justenuffhumor will
be well-received by New York breeders given his race record and world-class pedigree.”
Vinery is also bringing the Gone West sire line to the state in the form of Kensei, a Grade 2-winning son of Mr. Greeley who is a half-brother to 2010 Eclipse Champion three-year-old Lookin at Lucky. Like Justenuffhumor, Kensei also proved he had a fondness for racing at Saratoga, though Kensei did his best running on the dirt, breaking his maiden at Saratoga in 2008 and coming back in 2009 to win the Jim Dandy [G2].
Purge is also making a new home in the Empire State. This A.P Indy sire-line horse also loved the Spa, as he broke his maiden here in 2003 and came back to score an impressive victory in Grade 2 Jim Dandy at three. The son of Pulpit nailed his lone Grade 1 win at four with a smart victory in the Cigar Mile at Aqueduct. Vinery President Tom Ludt says, “We think Purge will be well-received with New York breeders. He’s in the top of his crop in every category, is a son of emerging sire of sires Pulpit, and on top of that he’s a very attractive individual.”
Questroyal Stud looks to bring durability, a top sire line, and a quality female family as it offers the Gone West son Marsh Side to breeders. The multiple Grade 1 winner earned more than $2.3 million dollars in a 31-race career that began at age 3 and drew to a close at age 7. His Grade 2-winning dam Colonial Play is by stamina influence Pleasant Colony, and she is a full sister to the dam of Eclipse Champion 2-year-old filly Pleasant Stage. Marsh Side will stand at Silvernails Farm near Pine Plains.
Other newcomers included in the New York Stallion Registry, which is published by New York Thoroughbred Breeders Inc. with the financial support of the Fund, include:
Coal Play: The only son of 2003 Horse of the year Mineshaft at stud in NY will stand at McMahon Thoroughbreds. Coal Play’s trainer, Hall of Famer Nick Zito, says, “Coal Play could carry his speed over a mile, winning wire-to-wire in four of his five wins. Coal Play has tremendous conformation, a tremendous body and brilliant speed. He has the ability to make a terrific stallion.”
Magical Forest: This five-year-old son of Forest Camp is out of the precocious Silken Magic. He raced 15 times and won three stakes, including the G3 Barbaro S. at Delaware Park.
Malibu Moonshine: His sire, Malibu Moon, stands for $60,000 in Kentucky. This horse, owned by Joseph Forrest, will stand for $3,000 at Carlland Stables in Avon, NY. Talk about durable: Malibu Moonshine launched his race career with three wins as a two-year-old, including the St. Nick Stakes at Charlestown. He went on to race 59 more times through age 8, amassing a record of 62 - 12 (7 stakes) - 5 (3) - 8 (4) with earnings of $597,370.
Relato Del Gato: Another durable runner, this son of Tale of the Cat, who stands for $30,000 at Ashford Stud in Kentucky, won the Phoenix Gold Cup H. at age six and notched a second in the Grade 3 Morvich Handicap that same year. He stands for a private fee at the Cohn Farm in Ferndale, NY.
Sternman: This Mr. Prospector-line stallion loaded in the starting stall 66 times, winning his final race at age 9. The son of Idabel stands for $1,250 at the Coxon-Parent Farm in Fort Ann.

NY-Breds at Auction
By Rab Hagin
In the sales rings, three young females in November were 2010's highest-priced New York-breds: Fit Right In (in foal to Curlin), the 8-year-old dam of Rightly So, sold for $1,050,000 at Keeneland; plus 2010 Grade-1 winners Rightly So and Franny Freud, sold for $600,000 and $560,000 respectively at Fasig-Tipton Kentucky. The unraced Fit Right In, who produced Rightly So as her first offspring, was purchased by Katsumi Yoshida, who also was the buyer of Franny Freud. Rightly So, who had been a fairly pricey 2-year-old in training at the Ocala Breeders' Sales Company's 2008 February select sale, going to Zayat Stables for $220,000 from Becky Thomas's Sequel Bloodstock as agent, was purchased by Patinack Farm.
Among the 385 New York-bred yearlings that sold at auction in 2010 for prices totaling $9,956,500 were 19 that brought six-figure prices, headed by a Tale of the Cat colt out of Valdivia, by Pleasant Colony, that was purchased for $325,000 at Keeneland's September sale by Fox Hill Farm. That colt, named The Thinker, was bred by Empire Equines, LLC.
A higher proportion of New York-bred 2-year-olds in training brought six-figure sales prices in 2010 compared to New York-bred sales yearlings, as 132 juveniles bred in the Empire State grossed $5,082,300 at auction, including 12 that went for six-figure bids. Top-priced among the dozen was a filly by Henny Hughes out of Open Window, by Trempolino, that was purchased for $275,000 by Thoroughbred Futures at Fasig- Tipton Florida's select sale at Calder. That filly, named Midnight Visit, was bred by Dr. Jerry Bilinski.
New York-bred weanlings sold at auction in 2010 totaled 46 that brought aggregate final bids of $1,369,500, and the two that went for six-figure prices included a colt by Rock Hard Ten out of Regard, by Fusaichi Pegasus, purchased for $300,000 by Westrock Stables, LLC at Keeneland's November sale. Named Taken for Granite, the 2010 colt was bred by Berkshire Stud.
An interesting common characteristic of the top-priced yearling, 2-year-old, and weanling among New York-breds sold at auction in 2010 was that all three had unprepossessing catalogue pages. None were out of dams that had won or placed in stakes competition (two of the dams were winless), and none were out of dams that had produced stakes winners. Some other factors – appearance, racing and earning opportunities available, or perhaps the under-tack workout performance by 2-year-old Midnight Visit – must have enhanced their attractiveness to buyers.
2010 Registry Compliance Report
The underlying theme for the registry compliance team at the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund in 2010 is one that will sound familiar to those working under economic constraints at every level from farm to state agency: doing more with less.
This was the first full year that the Fund’s Field representatives worked under a 2009 directive from the Board of Directors to keep a watchful eye on the health and welfare of thoroughbreds. It was a duty added in the wake of the 2009 rescue of dozens of animals from the Greene County farm of breeder Ernie Paragallo.* Mr. Paragallo was subsequently convicted in March 2010 on 33 counts of animal cruelty, and was sentenced in May to 2 years in prison and fined $33,000. He was released on bail the following month to appeal his sentence. Of the 96 horses taken from his Center Brook Farm in Climax, 6 had to be euthanized and the Columbia-Greene Humane Society cared for or found responsible homes for the remainder.**
To maximize the effectiveness of the Field Team (currently consisting of Tom Conley and Tom Reynolds), Investigator Sue McDonough (State Police, retired) was invited by Executive Director Tracy Egan to review Article 26 of the Agriculture and Markets
Sue McDonough (left) with Tracy Egan and the field team
Law. Inv. McDonough shared that in her 26 years as a trooper, and now as an animal advocate, the majority of problems she has witnessed lie in the category of negligence resulting from ignorance, a lack of interest, or financial problems. She said that the first thing she does to help a horse is to help the owner understand that there’s a problem and to try to help them rectify the situation.
Regular Duties of the Field Representatives
To the many people who live and work on farms across the state, the field representatives serve as the public face of the Breeding Fund. Typically, the “field reps” visit each of our more than 300 farms at least once per year. In the photo below, field rep Tom Conley demonstrates to Executive Director Tracy Egan how he confirms the identify of a mare residing at High Cliff Farm in Delanson, Schenectady County.
During farm visits, they check each mare’s tattoo numbers or the identifying markings written on the mare’s Jockey Club papers, to enable them to document an individual’s status as a resident or non-resident broodmare. They not only count the number of mares at each farm, they also note whether she is in-foal and, if so, to which stallion and whether it is a New York or out-of-state stallion. The inspectors keep track of barren mares as well. In addition, if a mare (whose file travels with the inspectors such as Tom Conley, as shown in the photo below) no longer resides on the farm, inspectors will mark down whether she left the state, moved to another farm in the state, or is deceased, retired, sold, or has been given away.
The information gathered at the farm level is logged into spreadsheets that are used by the registrar and by the Fund’s central office to confirm that an individual horse is eligible to be registered as a NY-bred. This registration adds tremendous value to a horse as a sales prospect and can return award money to the hard-working breeder, so the work performed by the field team is crucially important to protecting the vast majority of breeders who understand and abide by the strict rules of the NY-bred program.
Because green space is so important to the mission of the Fund, the inspectors also take note of acreage, number of buildings, barns, stalls, and fenced paddocks. In spite of the decline in the number of farms in the state to 307, the field representatives estimate New York breeding farms still encompass some 35,000 acres.
Field Reps Promote the Program
The field representatives have proven time and again that they are able communicators when it comes to spreading the word about the strength of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund Program. They travel armed with a thorough understanding of how our program works and stay informed about challenges facing the Fund, such as the 2009 bankruptcy filing of NYC OTB (the Fund’s largest contributor) and its closure in late 2010. They offer to leave brochures provided by NYTB, Inc. that promote both the Fund programs and the benefits of trade-group membership, so that farms can pass along the promotional information to current or potential customers.
In 2010, the Fund also provided representatives with brochures to distribute concerning the issues of unwanted horses and responsible horse ownership.
Budget Crunch Hits Field Team
The financial statements included in this report detail how a decline in handle hurt revenue streams to the Fund. As such, the Board of Directors furloughed the newest member of the field team from September through December. At its December meeting, the third position on that field team, held by Jim Zito, was eliminated. The Fund is grateful to Jim for his years of service to the Fund and the people we serve, and wishes him well in his future endeavors.
*In 2010, the Board formally instituted a new rule that awards will be temporarily withheld from persons accused of animal abuse, and would not be paid to anyone convicted of felony animal abuse. ** In the summer of 2010, the Fund’s Executive Director visited two farms that helped the Columbia- Greene Humane Society rehabilitate the rescued horses. All of the horses appeared to be in good health, with plenty of body weight, shiny coats, and trimmed feet.
2010 – The Odyssey of New York-Breds Enters a New Era
By Rab Hagin
Despite adversity on a variety of political and economic fronts away from racetracks, breeding farms, and auction pavilions, 2010 was the year when the New York Breeding and Racing Program coalesced into unprecedented success in racing, sales, and acquisition of stallion talent. For the first time ever, four New York-breds won Grade/Group 1 races in a single season, as 5-year-old horse A Shin Forward, 4-year- old colt Haynesfield, 4-year-old filly Rightly So, and 3-year-old filly Franny Freud captured top-level events. Rightly So's unraced New York-bred dam was sold for $1,050,000 at Keeneland, and 563 New York-bred weanlings (46), yearlings (385), and two-year-olds in training (132) brought prices totaling more than $16.4 million during 2010.
Two New York-based stallions – Posse and Freud – had 2010 progeny earnings topping $4 million, three had offspring earnings exceeding $3 million, and eight (all scheduled to stand in the Empire State in 2011) boasted progeny bankrolls of more than $2 million each in 2010.
Worldwide in 2010, there were 3,781 New York-bred starters, and they earned $69,289,272. Two New York-breds – Haynesfield and Monmouth turf icon Get Serious – became new millionaires in 2010.
The onslaught of New York-bred open stakes success in 2010, when 25 state-breds won black-type stakes in unrestricted company and nine tallied 17 times in graded/group events, began on the weekend of February 27-28. That Saturday, Jeff Fletcher's and Hamilton Hale's 3-year-old son of state-based sire Catienus, Dont Blame the Cat, won Laurel's seven-furlong Miracle Wood Stakes, and Alan Brodsky's 4-year- old filly, Don't Forget Gil, captured Tampa Bay Downs' 1 1/16-mile Wayward Lass Stakes. On Sunday, Eishindo Company's New York-bred millionaire, A Shin Forward, scored his first group-level victory in the seven-furlong Hankyu Hai on Japanese turf.
The following Saturday (March 6), Chester and Mary Broman's New York homebred 3-year-old filly, Khancord Kid, took Gulfstream Park's graded Herecomesthebride Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on turf. About two hours earlier, New York-bred Castaneda had romped by three lengths in a front-running effort for Team Stallion Racing Corp., John Moirano, and Harold Lerner in Aqueduct's six-furlong Fred "Cappy" Capossela Stakes for open 3-year-olds. Five days later (March 11) at Aqueduct, Blue Bison Stable's and Stewart Hoffman's New York-bred daughter of in-state sire Congaree, Shine Upon, took the Dreamy Mimi Stakes for open 3-year-old fillies going a mile and 70 yards at Aqueduct.
In April, New York-breds invaded Kentucky and came away with three graded stakes victories. On April 7, the amazingly versatile Franny Freud, a semi-homebred daughter of in-state sire Freud racing for Paul Pompa Jr., Stephen Yarbrough, and breeder Anthony Grey, scored by 4 ¾ lengths in Keeneland's Grade 2 Beaumont Stakes for 3- year-old fillies going just beyond seven furlongs on Polytrack. Three days later on
Keeneland turf, Michael Dubb's and High Grade Racing Stable's 7-year-old Silver Timber registered the first of back-to-back graded grass sprint wins in April by taking the 5 ½-furlong Shakertown Stakes. On April 30, Silver Timber was on Churchill Downs' lawn, where he shouldered top weight to win the graded Churchill Downs Turf Sprint in a stakes record clocking of 55.45 for five furlongs.
Another daughter of Freud, Repole Stable's 5-year-old Lights Off Annie, gained her first open-company black type on Preakness eve (May 14) with a 5 ½-length romp in Pimlico's six-furlong Skipat Stakes. She had previously won the latest two renewals of Aqueduct's Broadway Stakes for New York-bred fillies and mares. The next day at Delaware Park, owner-trainer Wesley Ward's first-out-winning (at Keeneland) juvenile New York-bred filly, Final Mesa, registered a facile 4 ¾-length triumph in the four- furlong Polly Drummond Stakes on conventional dirt. Eight days later on May 23, Anstu Stables' 2009 New York Thoroughbred Breeders (NYTB) juvenile male champion, Ibboyee, won Monmouth's Spend a Buck Stakes at a mile and 70 yards for 3-year-olds.
New York-breds captured five stakes at four different tracks in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Ontario (Canada) during June, beginning with Silver Timber's third consecutive stakes tally of 2010 while under top weight in Monmouth's Wolf Hill Stakes at about 5 ½ furlongs on turf on June 5. Three days later, Everything's Cricket Stable's multiple turf sprint stakes-winning 6-year-old mare, Ahvee's Destiny, got her first synthetic surface black-type victory in Presque Isle Downs' Satin and Lace Stakes at 5 ½ furlongs over the Tapeta strip. On June 12, perennial New Jersey standout Get Serious, a 6-year-old New York-bred racing for James Dinan, Jacques Moore, and Phantom House Farm, inexplicably was overlooked in the graded Monmouth Stakes at 1 1/8 miles on turf but defeated eight rivals – four of them favored over him. A week later, Benchmark Racing Stable's Lady Rizzi, a 7-year-old always-improving New York-bred mare, gained her first black type by winning Colonial Downs' 5 ½-furlong Buckland Stakes on turf over 10 rivals, despite breaking from the tenth post. On the final Saturday of June, Final Mesa improved to three-for- three with a 7 ¾-length laugher in Woodbine's My Dear Stakes at five furlongs on Polytrack. (She's for real; on January 5, 2011, she won Gulfstream's graded Old Hat Stakes at six furlongs on dirt for newly minted 3-year-old fillies.)
Turtle Bird Stable's 2009 NYTB Horse of the Year, Haynesfield, won Belmont's historic Grade 2 Suburban Handicap at 1 1/8 miles on July 3 by 2 ¾ lengths, marking his fourth consecutive victory and second score of 2010 following an overnight mile tally at Belmont 20 days earlier. On July 4, Franny Freud took Belmont's Grade 1 Prioress Stakes at six furlongs, stamping herself as arguably the best 3-year-old sprint filly in North America and becoming the only 2010 stakes winner at that time on dirt, synthetic, and turf. On the Monday, July 5 holiday of the Independence Day weekend, Zayat Stables' Rightly So, a 4-year-old daughter of in-state sire Read the Footnotes, led throughout under top weight in Belmont's graded Bed o' Roses Handicap at seven furlongs, capping probably the best three-day span ever for New York-breds.
On July 17, another unbeaten New York-bred juvenile stakes winner emerged at Woodbine – a la the aforementioned Final Mesa – in Martha Gonzalez's Glory Game, who won the $142,215 (in U.S. funds) Colin Stakes at six furlongs on Polytrack by two
lengths over a prohibitive odds-on (and stakes-winning) favorite. On July 30, Obviously NY Stable's three-time NYTB champion of 2009 (older female, turf female, sprint female), 5-year-old Canadian Ballet, captured Penn National's six-figure Jenny Wade Handicap at five furlongs on turf in 55.64 while under top weight.
Get Serious scored his second of three graded turf victories of 2010 in Monmouth's 1 1/16-mile Oceanport Stakes on August 1. Six days later, Landsdowne Stables' New York-bred Sharp Secretary won Woodbine's $147,118 (in U.S. funds) Duchess Stakes for 3-year-old fillies going seven furlongs. The next day, JMJ Stables' New York-bred son of Read the Footnotes, Out of Respect, won Monmouth's Select Stakes for 3-year- olds by daylight over the 1-to-2 favorite (by New York-based sire Posse) who was coming off five consecutive stakes victories. On the final Saturday of August, Rightly So became the second New York-bred Grade 1 winner of the summer with a four- length gate-to-wire domination of Saratoga's seven-furlong Ballerina Stakes, advancing to the head of the class among 2010's female dirt sprinters.
Get Serious returned to Monmouth turf for his third graded victory and fourth win (in five starts) of 2010 on Labor Day eve (Sunday, September 5), capturing the one-mile Red Bank Stakes under top weight at odds-on and bettering his own course record – set in 2009 – by clocking 1:32.37. That victory, registered over five foes carrying five to seven pounds less than the New York-bred winner, and coming despite his stumbling and bumpy start, boosted Get Serious' earnings to $1,000,691, making him the 23rd millionaire bred in the Empire State.
Another New York-bred NYRA stakes winner outside state-bred company emerged from the New York Stallion Stakes program when Aliyu Ben J Stables' homebred Freud colt, Lubash, took Belmont's one-mile Fifth Marine Stakes for eight 3-year-olds on yielding turf while carrying co-top weight on September 17. The next day, Hillwood Stable's first-out-winning (on turf) New York-bred, Bandbox, cruised to a 9 ½-length triumph in the six-figure Charles Town Juvenile Stakes at a two-turn seven furlongs on dirt for his second of three consecutive wins.
In Belmont's historic Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup on October 2, Haynesfield did what no other horse – not even future Hall of Fame member Zenyatta – could do in 2010, beating eventual Eclipse Champion Blame "handily" by four lengths in that 1 ¼- mile weight-for-age event. The victory made Haynesfield the 24th New York-bred millionaire, and eight weeks later he boosted his bankroll to $1,166,981 by placing a close second – beaten a head – while under co-top weight among nine in Aqueduct's Grade 1 Hill 'n' Dale Cigar Mile Handicap. A week later, Silver Timber got his fourth turf stakes victory of 2010 and third graded tally of the year by beating 10 rivals in Keeneland's 5 ½-furlong Woodford Stakes while carrying top weight. On October 29, Patsy Symons' New York-bred Gitchee Goomie proved that her solid third-placing at almost 22-to-1 among seven in Belmont's grassy Grade 1 Garden City Stakes 41 days earlier was no fluke when she won Belmont's 1 1/8-mile Topicount Stakes for 11 open 3-year-old fillies on turf.
A flurry of New York-bred open stakes successes highlighted the six-day span from November 20 through Thanksgiving. Majesty Stud's homebred Stormy's Majesty, who had won Saratoga's Albany Stakes for state-bred 3-year-olds in August, captured
Aqueduct's graded Discovery Handicap at the Albany distance of 1 1/8 miles on November 20, scoring by two lengths over six rivals. Three weeks later, that first offspring produced by New York-bred mare Raffie's Dream (by in-state stallion and NYTB champion Raffie's Majesty) faced older foes in Aqueduct's graded Queens County Stakes at 1 3/16 miles and placed second, missing by a head to a 5-year-old carrying five pounds less weight.
On November 21, another standout produced by a New York-bred mare, A Shin Forward, beat 17 rivals to win the Group 1 Japan Mile Championship (1,600 meters on turf) in a stakes record 1:31.80, boosting his 2010 bankroll to $2,273,386 and surpassing Funny Cide's single-season New York-bred earnings record. Now with career earnings of $3,374,068, A Shin Forward – who had been purchased for $290,000 at Fasig-Tipton Florida's 2007 select sale of 2-year-olds in training at Calder – is within less than $200,000 of Funny Cide's total record earnings for a New York- bred.
On the same Sunday as A Shin Forward's Group 1 triumph in Japan, Lubash scored by 2 ½ lengths over seven rivals in Aqueduct's Monarch's Maze Stakes for open 3-year- olds going a mile on turf, getting his fifth victory (four on turf, one on dirt) of 2010. Winning by two lengths under equal top weight of 129 pounds in Aqueduct's graded Fall Highweight Handicap on Thanksgiving (November 25) was Vincent Scuderi's and James Riccio's New York-bred 6-year-old Endless Circle, who clocked the six furlongs in 1:09.79. It was Endless Circle's 11th career victory and eighth tally of 2010 (two others in stakes for state-breds) on the NYRA circuit, punctuating an exceptional season for the durable sprinter.
2010 NYTB Champions
Intriguing developments emanating from the epic 2010 season involve the dilemmas of choosing certain NYTB champions.
What Grade/Group-1 winner should be Horse of the Year: Haynesfield, the only conqueror of Eclipse Champion Blame in 2010; A Shin Forward, who shattered Funny Cide's single season earnings record for a New York-bred; or Franny Freud, who won stakes on dirt, synthetic, and turf?
Who deserves the Champion Turf Male Title: A Shin Forward; three-time graded winner (at three different distances) Get Serious; or three-time graded winner (and four-time turf stakes winner) Silver Timber?
What Grade-1 winner is most deserving for Champion Female Sprinter: multiple- surface star Franny Freud, who also beat males but raced exclusively against 3-year- olds; or Rightly So, whose graded wins came against fillies and mares from all crops?
Does graded winner Stormy's Majesty deserve Champion 3-Year-Old Male honors over Chester and Mary Broman's homebred Friend or Foe, who beat older New York- breds (as well as Stormy's Majesty) in New York Showcase Day's Empire Classic and obliterated Say Florida Sandy's stakes record in Belmont's seven-furlong Mike Lee?
Who is a stronger candidate for 2-Year-Old Male: unbeaten (two-for-two) Woodbine stakes winner Glory Game, or 9 ½-length Charles Town Juvenile Stakes winner Bandbox, who five weeks later captured New York Showcase Day's Sleepy Hollow Stakes?
These are good dilemmas to have.

Dear Tracy,
Finger Lakes Racing in Farmington has a significant economic impact because their roots run deep into area towns and counties. This is a community track. We have about 115 trainers here. Nearly all of them live here; they have farms here. They absorb most all the hay and straw around here for a hundred miles. There are hundreds of farms that supply goods and services to the track. That pours money into the economy. Additionally, local businesses that include service stations, farm equipment, waste management, manufacturers, and restaurants benefit from racing.
A 2007 study showed Finger Lakes’ economic impact on the region to be $120 million annually. That’s was based on the earnings and spending of 475 track employees and the 1,298 working independently in racing.
Statistical information:
• In 2010, we had 275 NY Bred races offered and 179 races filled for racing. That is 12.2% of our total (1,467) races held in 2010
• There are approximately 162 Finger Lakes Racing Association employees and approximately 820 working independently during live racing for 2010.
• The average live handle per horse per race was $15,888
• Our racing tax on live and simulcast was approx. $400k in 2009
• Our attendance in 2010 for live and simulcast racing was approximately 210,000 guests

Dear Ms. Egan,
Adena Springs is an international thoroughbred breeding organization, which has interests not only in the USA but in Canada, The United Kingdom, South Africa and Brazil.
In the past few years with the global downturn in the economy and the resulting changes taking place in the racing and breeding industry Adena Springs chose to diversify into many regional markets
First we chose to establish an interest in New York because we saw an opportunity to maximize our breeding program in what we believe is an emerging market. On the other hand it was because of a positive relationship with the McMahon Family of Saratoga.
Having been advised of the opportunities of the New York program by our friend Joe McMahon, we felt secure entering into a business relationship. Joe McMahon and his family are established and credible breeders in the State of New York. They have offered us the opportunity to expand into this marketplace which both Joe and Adena Springs feel is on the verge of expanding due to the numerous changes in New York State's vision for racing.
Sincerely, Dermot Carty Director of Sales

Subj: NY Bred Program
Hi Tracy: It was good talking to you today about NY Bred Program. Hope funding is restored to full amount before our payment is due. Hoping to earn a few more awards before the end of year. We hope to breed our mare to a NY stallion this year or at least bring her back in time to be eligible if we go out of state

As a breeder in NY we just had a NY Bred win on Oct 23rd. Since I am still relatively new to this aspect of the game (Breeder) can you tell me what time frame to expect distribution of the breeder awards. Thank you for your time ______
From: Tracy Egan
Dear Carlton,
Congratulations on your winner. What’s the horse’s name, breeding, do you still own it? The checks will go out on Thursday, Dec. 2. It will only be 50% of what your horse earned due to two withholdings initiated because NYC OTB failed to make statutory payments to the Breeding Fund. However, it’s beginning to look as though we will be able to pay the withholding early next year, probably in February.

From: edward michaels To: [email protected] Subject: Florida's example
Tracy,
In response to your newsletter dated Oct 2010, which made request for comments, I offer the following, which you may share with the Chairman's committee or anyone else:
Replicating Florida's example of discontinuing stallion awards for departed stallions would be: A) ill-conceived, B) illogical, and C) counter-productive.
A) Building a stallion base in the state is certainly one facet of the industry that the Fund has the ability to influence. By touting stallion awards, it has the bully pulpit to successfully argue that it would be indeed a profitable venture for any stallion owner or manager. However, by forcing any stallion owner or syndicate to remain in the state to collect awards from foals already produced is a disincentive that only sullies the credibility of the program, and hence foster skepticism. Therefore this measure would be ill-conceived.
B) It is illogical because you are punishing one group among the breeder's and rewarding another, at the formers expense. Why not stop paying breeder's awards from mares that likewise leave the state?
C) It is counter-productive because NY is considerably smaller than Florida and their paradigm is irrelevant (not that I would argue that they are right, on the contrary). No doubt Florida was used as a proving ground for stallions because of the vast amount of mares that professional horsemen bred, then broke, trained and raced or sold their progeny. Florida, with its 12 month training climate, and the vast amount of training tracks proved invaluable to facilitate the development of 2 yr-olds, and hence the quick boost to first and second year sires. This made the hot young stallions ripe to be relocated to Kentucky, or even now abroad, as they were given a jump-start. Mr. Prospector immediately comes to mind. Of course Florida did not have the deep pockets within the breeding community to protect a great young sire, and hence the stallions followed the market, as they should.
NY's situation is not comparable, because of the relatively small population of mares, and the longer time that the average NY Bred takes to get to the races. Our gene pool is so small that it would be most beneficial to every breeder to circulate stallions through the state, not incarcerate them in it.
Example: A new farm locates within our borders and brings a flashy, well-bred, newly retired G1, maybe eventually a classic winner to stand. The farm sends nearly all it's mares to support the horse in years 1 and 2. Other in-state breeder' flock to the stallion in those first two years. Then what happens? Anyone with good mares and good sense breeds their mares to other stallions after that. Who will be left to support that stallion? The stallion manager will be fighting for his financial survival because of the incredibly small amount of mares remaining that have not been bred to him in the first 2 years, most of which would be inferior to the mares previously bred. His CI would drop precipitously. The stallion manager needs to be free to market any stallion where it is most in demand, without punitive damages assessed after the fact, for work already done, and future bonuses already earned.
In fact, a case could be made that it would be more beneficial to all breeder's if additional rewards were given to any stallion that departs the state after standing for 2 years (tongue-in-cheek). The breeders of the state would be much better served if we had revolving stallions, shuttling from state to state, ala Catienus, or state to other countries. If the stallion awards were predicated on stallions remaining in the state in perpetuity, it would be difficult to construct such revolving stallion deals, thereby shackling the breeders, and likewise repressing the stallion managers from attaining new stock, as they weigh the potential monetary benefits from future stallion awards against the risk of new investment.
Perish the thought of regulating against horse-trading. All ships are lifted with a rising tide. Don't try to hold the tides back, as the tide waits for no man. Good business will go elsewhere if you try.

Re: Tracy's letter for October
Having bred and raced numerous homebred over the last 30 years, we felt we should weigh in publicly on the subjects being addressed by this committee.
YES-the fund should seek as commitment from NYRA to run a minimum number of races for NY-breds.
YES- the awards for open company owners should be bumped up
YES-stop paying awards to stallions that have left the state
NO!!-award payments on low-level claiming races should not be eliminated- ALL ny bred races should pay awards to the breeders
We, as a state breeding organization, should continually look around and learn from states such as Florida, Pennsylvania, and other entities. It is financially punishing enough to breed and raise horses in New York State. Doubly punishing to race in NY. The industry is important to all of us on all levels. Getting something back from enterprises that make huge profits from our products is important. Thanks for working for us, keep trying to get our share of this huge business.

Thank you David and Emma,
I hope many more people join you and actually read my letter and the invitation to comment about the awards program. It's critically important that the hard-working people in our program have a say as to whether changes are implemented or not.

DA Honored for Paragallo Conviction
Greene County District Attorney Terry Wilhelm, center, was awarded a plaque for professional excellence for his successful prosecution of former horse breeder Ernest Paragallo. New York State Police at Catskill Senior Investigator Scott Youngblood, left and New York State Racing and Wagering Board Chairman John Sabini joined Wilhelm at the Saratoga Race Course Friday afternoon. The award was presented by the Columbia- Greene Humane Society/SPCA, the New York State Police, the New York State Racing and Wagering Board and the New York Racing Association. Photo provided
By Colin DeVries Hudson-Catskill Newspapers CATSKILL — In the winner’s circle at the Saratoga Race Course Friday, the county’s top prosecutor was congratulated for convicting one of the thoroughbred industry’s most dastardly.
Greene County District Attorney Terry Wilhelm was presented with a plaque for professional excellence in the successful prosecution and conviction of horse breeder Ernest Paragallo.
Paragallo was found to have 177 malnourished thoroughbreds at Center Brook Farm in the town of Coxsackie, which were seized by the Columbia-Greene Human Society/SPCA on April 9, 2009.
Following a seven-day bench trial in March, Paragallo was found guilty of 33 misdemeanor animal cruelty counts for improper sustenance. He was sentenced to two years in jail and a $1,000 fine for each charge, the maximum allowed by law.
The incident — and subsequent conviction — sent shockwaves throughout the thoroughbred
and horse racing industries, and continues to redefine appropriate conduct for horse breeders throughout the state.
Wilhelm was presented the award on the eve of the Travers Stakes and in the company of some of the sport’s top competitors.
He expressed gratitude during a phone interview Saturday and said he felt “humbled” after being presented the award.
“It was just a wonderful day and I felt honored,” said Wilhelm. “This case seems to have had an effect on the regulatory agencies to increase monitoring of this type of activity. It’s so gratifying to think that our little trial is having such a profound impact on the industry.”
The award was presented by the New York State Police, who conducted an extensive investigation in the case, the New York State Racing and Wagering Board, who has stripped Paragallo of racing and owners’ privileges, the New York State Racing Association, who has banned Paragallo from racing or visiting tracks, and the Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA, who cared for and facilitated the adoption of nearly all the malnourished thoroughbreds found at the farm.
Wilhelm acknowledged the help of his colleagues, particularly State Police Sgt. Lisa Herdman, who provided priceless amounts of thoroughbred and animal cruelty knowledge to assist in the prosecution, and veterinarian Dr. Jerry Bilinski, who worked for hours with Wilhelm to learn about the proper care, treatment and ownership of thoroughbreds.
“A lot of cases have little special twists you have to be ready for,” Wilhelm said, “so I became immersed in the feeding, care and treatment of thoroughbreds. Those guys spend hours with me on this case.”
Since the Center Brook Farm incident, new regulations adopted by state Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund have resulted in more comprehensive inspections before awarding funds to breeders and suspension or revocation of funds to anyone implicated in horse cruelty.
Paragallo faces further fines by the state Racing and Wagering Board in the amount of $5,000 for each of his cruelty convictions.
He was released in June from serving his two year jail sentence in Greene County Jail pending appeal.
EQUINE RESEARCH
The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund Corporation gives two percent of its total annual revenue to the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund at the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine in Ithaca, New York. In 2010, the Fund remitted the sum of $228,000 (preliminary figure).
The board of directors of the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund consists of Dean Michael Kotlikoff of Cornell and of representatives of New York’s thoroughbred and harness racing industries. The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund is currently represented on the Zweig Board by two members of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund’s board: John Sabini, Chairperson, and Dr. William B. Wilmot.
At the annual meeting of the Zweig Fund, various equine research proposals are reviewed and evaluated. The Board then decides which proposals will be funded and at what level.
A copy of the Zweig Report for 2009 can be viewed at our website (www.nybredfund.com), and the 2010 report will be posted as soon as it becomes available.

Interpretation The rules in this article shall be administered by the Fund and questions of interpretation and intent shall be determined by the Fund.
Administration Procedures for establishing compliance with or satisfaction of such rules shall be established by the Fund and administered by its Executive Director.
Registration and de-registration No horse shall be considered a “New York-bred” thoroughbred unless such horse is so registered by the Fund. Should the Fund be satisfied that grounds exist to cancel or void a registration, it may so determine and order any monies of the Fund due any person as a result of such questionable registration held and, if paid, to be returned to the Fund for proper disposition. In addition, pending such determination, the Fund shall be empowered to order retention of such monies as may be payable as a result of any questionable registration, for proper disposition, upon its final determination.
Sanctions For good cause shown, the Fund may order that any individual shall be disqualified from participating as a beneficiary of such Fund for such time as it may determine appropriate.
New York-bred (a) Definitions - as used in this article, the following terms shall mean: 1. Fund: The New York State Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund 2. Thoroughbred: A horse registered or qualified for registration as a thoroughbred by the Jockey Club 3. Horse: Except when from the context it appears otherwise, shall mean horse, stallion, mare, gelding, ridgling, colt, or filly 4. Foal: The offspring of a sire and dam, having been born 5. Foaled: Born 6. Sire: The male parent of a horse 7. Dam: The female parent of a horse 8. Breeder: The owner of the mare (dam) at the time it foals a New York-bred 9. “New York Stallion”: A thoroughbred stallion standing in New York State and registered with the Fund in accordance with the law
For requirements and regulations regarding your foals, please contact our offices.
For foals of 1996 and beyond (1995 and subsequent breeding seasons), for a foal to qualify as a registered New York-bred, the dam of such foal must:
A. Be continuously in residence in the State of New York from no later than 90 days after her last cover in the year of conception and thereafter remain in residence until foaling in New York State; or
B. Foal in the State of New York and be bred back to a registered New York stallion and thereafter remain in New York for a continuous period of 90 days after giving birth to such foal.
These simple rules effectively create two categories of mares – resident mares and transient or “visiting” mares – and should more participation in the Fund program more attractive for prospective breeders and owners.
