AHe is quite a difficult horse to read, as he is laid-back. If anything he is too laid-back most of the time at home. You can=t see when he is going to find another gear. He has not made the normal progression through his gallops. He did one spectacular gallop early on then next time it was as if he was having his first gallop. That is why we have been a little bit nervous to take big jumps with him. Jim said he got quite warm before the race and that he was quite keen in the race. He was glad to be away from the others.

More than 22 tons of feed and other supplies is waiting to be shipped from Florida to the 800-plus horses at Hipodromo Camarero, but so far working out transportation arrangements has proven difficult. AWe=ve got a lot of folks in the industry working behind the scenes to try to get feed in, but we=re encountering a lot of governmental roadblocks,@ said Shelly Blodgett of Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare, Inc.

Racing Board (CHRB) meeting, mirroring a delay in setting dates that happened one year ago when the CHRB had to keep pushing back its establishment of a NorCal racing schedule. By contrast, it only took a quick voice vote on Thursday for the CHRB to approve a slate of 2018 southern California race dates. That=s because Santa Anita Park, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, Los Alamitos Race Course and the Thoroughbred Owners of California are in the second year of a three-year agreement pertaining to a template of year-round dates will remain in effect through 2019. So except for a few minor changes related to how the calendar falls, the SoCal schedule will look pretty much the same next year as this season=s allocation of race dates. Yet despite nearly two hours of testimony at Thursday=s meeting and a year=s worth of behind-the-scenes planning by stakeholders, the NorCal tracks and fairs (Golden Gate Fields, Pleasanton, Cal Expo, Santa Rosa, Ferndale, and Fresno) couldn=t present a similar unified agreement to the board.

CHRB cont. from p1 So just like last year, the CHRB voted unanimously to put off its dates decision for the region by an additional month. The NorCal schedule will now be brought up for a CHRB vote at the October monthly meeting, Acome hell or high water@ said CHRB chairman Chuck Winner None of the major sticking points have changed in the past two years in this complex, multi-sided issue: Long-term concerns about stabling, squabbling over prime race dates, the need to dovetail racing at fair venues with existing agricultural fairs expositions, the possible value of fairs in creating new racing fans, and the absence of turf racing opportunities for weeks at a time were all subjects that got debated without resolution once again, just like in 2016. AI=ve listened to everybody, and you have to be really not hearing if you don=t really understand that the fairs circuit has difficulties in terms of accommodating one another,@ said commissioner Madeline Auerbach. AAll I know is is that everybody is not going to get what they want, and I also know that our job is to protect racing. AAnd I have to tell you, that taking the [California Authority of Racing Fairs] proposal and utilizing it, I don=t believe that protects racing,@ Auerbach continued. AYou don=t have turf and I don=t want to hear what=s coming in the futureY. We have to deal with today=s realities. We=re falling off the planet with this; we=re tripping over ourselves. This is a political football. A hot, political football. And we are being put in a very untenable position, and quite frankly, I don=t appreciate it. AWe=re being put in a vise where we=re going to make people unhappy,@ Auerbach concluded. AAnd I would suggest to the people who are involved to sit down and really talk to each other and stop playing games with each other and think about what is best for everybody. I don=t think that>s been done yet.@ Regarding the economic difficulties that fairs are facing, Winner echoed the comments of several CHRB members when he added Athis board is here because we=re a board. We=re not a fair boardY. Horse racing is a big part of fairs; fairs are a big part of horse racing. But if the number of legislators who contact me about race dates would do something themselves to help supplement the fairs so that we--horse racing--doesn=t have to supplement the fairs, that would be a really positive step.@ Commissioner Alex Solis said Awe keep going over the same arguments over and over. I don=t think it=s going to change anything.@ In other CHRB voting, commissioners unanimously approved the codification of the state=s microchip initiative, which started in 2014 as a pilot program. California is now out ahead of other states in terms of using tracking software and hand-held scanners to modernize pre-race identification, streamline the tracking of the backstretch population, and to assist the state in equine disease control.
