Executive Review

By Tracy Egan, Executive Director

The President and Chief Executive Officer of Fasig-Tipton, Boyd Browning, looks back at the industry over 2019 and concludes that “the New York-bred program continues to be the ‘gold standard’ for Thoroughbred breeders and owners. The program provides tremendous incentives to both breed and race in New York.”

Notable benchmarks of the past year are topped by NY-bred Tiz the Law, who established with his win in the Grade I Champagne that he will be worthy of seeking glory for the Empire State and the very same Sackatoga connections that won the 2003 Derby with NY-bred Funny Cide. Three other NY-breds scored graded wins in 2019: Pat on the Back in the G2 Kelso, Gucci Factor in the G3 Poker and Somelikeithotbrown in the G3 Jeff Ruby Steaks.

 NY-breds averaged $27,115 per runner, making more than 20,000 starts in North America and earning close to $90 million dollars.  Worldwide, NY-breds accounted for more than $93 million in purse money. Significantly for breeders, $69.9 million was earned on tracks in New York State.  NY-bred starters running in NYS competed for more than $44 million in purse money in nearly 800 races in which only NY-breds were entered.  Auction revenue from NY-bred weanlings, yearlings and two-year-olds over the past decade has more than tripled, from $16.4 million in 2010 to nearly $52.6 million in 2019, illustrating Mr. Browning’s point that New York remains the premier regional Thoroughbred breeding program.  The New York Thoroughbred Breeding & Development Fund was able to pay out 100% of awards earned in 2019.  The NYTBDF remained the main supporter of research conducted by the Zweig Fund, contributing 2% of our total revenue.  The 2019 foal crop of 1,606 foals remains more than 31 percent higher than the decade low mark of 1,225 foals set in 2011.

STALLIONS

Fifty-two registered stallions stood in New York in 2019. Breeders who use these stallions are rewarded with double the awards earned by the offspring of non-registered stallions or stallions who stand in other states: 30% vs. 15% of first-place purse money. NY-sired horses finishing second and third receive 15% of purse money vs. 7.5% for the offspring of non-NY stallions. In all cases, awards are only earned in races run in New York State. Six new stallions joined the NY stallion roster in 2019:

Camelot Kitten

This son of Kitten’s Joy is a full brother to Grade I Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint winner Bobby’s Kitten and is himself a multiple Grade II and Grade III winner. The six-year-old was a first-out winner for owner/breeders Ken and Sarah Ramsey and went on to make 23 starts with 6 wins and 3 seconds, for earnings of $1,069,477. Among Camelot Kitten’s stakes wins are the American Turf Stakes (G2), the National Museum of Racing and

Hall of Fame Stakes (G2), the Stakes (G3) and the Pennine Ridge Stakes (G3). He stood at Questroyal North for a fee of $5,000.

Destin

This son of the late Giant’s Causeway comes to stud with the same good bone, balance and scope that he demonstrated as a sale yearling when bringing a bid of $400,000. This full brother of leading sire Creative Cause, who stands in Kentucky, affords breeders the opportunity to save on shipping and boarding fees while providing the same genes to their mares through this multiple Grade II winner. He stood at Sequel Stallions New York for a relatively modest $6,500 stud fee.

Frank Conversation

This multiple graded stakes winner is by sire of the hour Quality Road, whose son City of Light vanquished all comers in the Grade I Pegasus Stakes in January 2019. Quality Road was also ranked the number one sire of 2018 based on number of Grade I stakes winners. The handsome and robust Frank Conversation raced 19 times with 4 wins, including a G2 and G3 victory. He stood at Rockridge Stud for a fee of $5,000.

Redesdale

Hidden Lake Farm at Questroyal is betting that the glamorous pedigree of Redesdale will attract good mares. Not only is he a son of emerging sire of sires Speightstown, but his dam Harpia is a full sister to European Champion and top sire Danehill. Redesdale’s fifth dam Natalma is the dam of the most successful sire of the 20th century, . Redesdale won three of four starts before his career was ended by an injury. More than 80 mares visited the court of Redesdale, who stood for a published stud fee of $5,000.

The Lieutenant

The Lieutenant is a half-brother to Triple Crown winner and 2018 Horse of the Year . One could stop right there, but this son of Street Sense has his own racetrack laurels as a Grade 3 winner and multiple Grade 2- placed runner. His trainer Mike McCarthy regularly praised the horse for working on equal terms with his highly accomplished training partner City of Light. The Lieutenant stood at Sequel New York Stallions for a stud fee of $6,500. Shockingly, the stallion was killed in December 2019 along with other stallions at the farm in Peru where he was performing Southern Hemisphere duty.

Weekend Hideaway

This millionaire was the champion NY-bred two-year-old of 2012 on his way to earning $1,144,922 in 49 starts. In addition to his soundness and durability, winning 13 times with seven seconds and ten thirds, he is by emerging sire of sires Speightstown, whose son Central Banker (standing at McMahon of Saratoga ) was number four on second-year sire list in 2019. Weekend Hideaway stood at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions for a $2,500 stud fee.

NEW STALLIONS FOR 2020

Future New York-breds may be a bit grayer in the upcoming years thanks to the addition of two highly accomplished gray stallions that will be standing in New York at Rockridge Stud in Hudson. Patricia Generazio’s homebred world-record-setter Disco Partner, a son of Disco Rico out of Lulu’s Number by Numerous, was one of the best turf sprinters on the planet, winning 11 of 33 starts with six seconds and eight thirds, including a win in the Grade 2 Jaipur Invitational Stakes in 2018 and consecutive victories in the

Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational Stakes in 2017 and 2018. He is standing his first season in 2020. In the 2018 Jaipur, Disco Partner set a world record for six furlongs, clocking a remarkable 1:05.67. He also won five other stakes, earning just under $1.5 million. He will stand for $5,000.

“I believe Disco Partner is a very exciting prospect for New York breeders,” his trainer, Christophe Clement, said. “He had a tremendous amount of speed, and speed is always dangerous. He also had a fantastic turn of foot, and he’s retiring perfectly sound after consistently racing for many years at the highest level.”

The gray Leofric, a son of Candy Ride (ARG) out of Lady Godiva by Unbridled’s Song, will stand for $7,500. He posted a record of eight wins, one second and three thirds from 14 starts, earning $951,040. He captured the Grade 1 Clark Handicap, the Grade 2 Fayette and the Grade 3 West Virginia Governor’s Stakes on the way to winning five of seven starts as a five-year-old in 2018.

Dr. Disco, also a son of stalwart NY sire Disco Rico, is a chestnut who won multiple stakes races while amassing earnings of just under $360,000. With a record of 8 wins, seven seconds and three thirds from 34 starts, he should prove to be a good source of soundness for breeders. Being that he is out of a speedy Dr. Blum mare, his connections expect he will also pass along speed to his offspring from both sides of his pedigree. Dr. Disco is standing for a private stud fee at Keane Stud, the same farm that stood his sire from 2008 to 2014.

Sakonnet earned a place in the stallion barn at Mill Creek Farm in Stillwater by virtue of a winning race record and the fact that he is by the late great sire out of Beckles Road by Smart Strike. He will stand in 2020 for a stud fee of $1,500.

Shatak, standing at Majestic View Farms International in Gardiner, NY, is a son of Cryptoclearance who earned over $100,000 and placed in the Grade 3 Miami Mile Stakes. He will stand for a stud fee of $2,500 in 2020.

Snow Trouble lands on the Foggy Bottom Farm roster in Livingston County, NY as an allowance-winning son of top sire Tapit out of a mare named Smara. Perhaps more importantly, his eighth dam is the Reine de Course mare La Troienne. His published stud fee for 2020 is $1,000.

Solomini, a son of out of the Storm Cat mare Surf Song, finished first in the Grade 1 Los Alamitos Futurity but was disqualified and placed third. He was second in the Grade 1 Frontrunner Stakes and the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at two, and placed in both the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes and the Grade 1 at 3, earning over $800,000 in his career. He will stand for a stud fee of $6,500 at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds.

Zamperini, a son of Meadow Monster out of the Lac Ouimet mare Lizotte, hopes to attract mares to his residence at Chamberlin Farm in Comstock, NY in Washington County. He will stand in 2020 for a stud fee of $800.

NY-BREDS AT AUCTION: 2019

OVERVIEW

The conclusion of the 2019 New York-bred sales season marked the end of a decade of unprecedented growth in the New York-bred bloodstock market. From 2010 to 2019, total combined sales of New York-bred

weanlings, yearlings and two-year-olds in training more than tripled, catapulting from $16,408,300 in 2010 to $52,597,294 in 2019.

During this decade of expansion, all three sectors of New York-bred sales horses have taken turns grabbing the headlines. New York-bred yearlings had break-out years in 2013 and 2018; the two-year-old market surged in 2011, 2014 and 2018; and the weanling market spiked in 2013 and 2017.

At the same time, as with most markets, sectors of the New York-bred bloodstock market have experienced periodic corrections. In 2016, for example, yearling and weanling sales dipped, tracking with an across-the- board decline in overall North American sales. The following year New York-bred auction results came roaring back across the board, culminating in record-breaking sales results in 2018.

In 2019 (as in 2016 and to a lesser extent in 2014), the New York-bred yearling and weanling markets experienced a year of correction. On the heels of a record-breaking year in 2018 that saw a 12.5% increase in total New York-bred yearling sales, the yearling sector dipped by 14.5% last year. This decline come against the backdrop of 4.4% dip in North American yearling sales overall in 2019. The New York-bred weanling market, for its part, fell by 24.02% in 2019. This also tracks with a parallel drop in North American weanling sales of 10.1% year-over-year.

New York-bred two-year-olds, by contrast, saw a third consecutive year of increase in total sales in 2019. Total sales hit a new high-water mark of $19,120,977, up 4.8% from 2018. In addition, the momentum of the juvenile sector is strong, up 17.7% in total sales in value in 2017 and another 37.8% in 2018.

The particular success of the New York-bred juvenile market in recent years is arguably driven by the ever- expanding racing opportunities for state-bred two-year-olds on the New York Racing Association (NYRA) circuit.

NYRA added five new races for New York-bred juveniles in 2014 and in 2019, when total purse money doubled for the New York Stallion Stakes Series for New York-sired New York-breds courtesy of Fund Purse Enrichment. The Great White Way for males and the Fifth Avenue for fillies became the richest sire stakes races in the country, with purses of $500,000 each.

The sales review that follows below on pages 50 to 60 will begin with a brief overview of the expansion of the New York-bred bloodstock market over the course of the decade just concluded. Detailed analysis of the New York-bred yearling, two-year-old and weanling sales results for 2019 will follow.

New York-bred sales statistics are based on data from The Jockey Club. National sales statistics are derived from the Blood-Horse, “2019 Auction Digest” (December 21/December 28, 2019, pp. 57-175). Statistics from the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred preferred yearling sale are based on company data.

BECOMING A NEW YORK-BRED

In order to encourage breeders to keep their mares and foals at New York State farms, the Fund has firm rules that must be followed to ensure that a foal that is dropped here is eligible to become a registered NY-bred. Breeders must make sure that their mares follow our residency rules, which necessitate that they submit mare movement information to help us establish compliance, allow their mares to be inspected by our registry compliance team, and in some cases breed their mare back to a registered New York stallion. It follows that only Thoroughbreds registered by the Fund by virtue of meeting the residency and inspection requirements can be entered in races restricted to NY-breds held at race meets conducted by the New York Racing Association and Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack. Similarly, only registered NY-breds can generate awards for their breeders and owners, as well as for the owners of registered New York stallions. NY-breds can also run in any “open” races in the state and throughout the world.

REVENUE

The total operating revenues of $19,422,429 in 2019 represent a decrease of $112,000 from 2018 revenues. The decrease in 2019 was due to a decrease in Fund revenue from handle ($277K) and breakage ($38K), offset by an increase in revenues generated from VLTs ($207K).

It should be noted that in 2014 VLT revenues from Resort World Casino in Aqueduct and Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack accounted for approximately 64% of the Fund’s total operating revenues, whereas in 2019 their contribution to revenue dropped to 59%. Due to the addition of a VLT recapture beginning in 2016, the Fund was able to recognize additional revenues of $951,225 in 2019, which increased the percentage of revenues generated from all VLT revenue sources to 64% of total operating revenues.

AWARDS AND PURSE ENRICHMENT

Awards

Breeders, owners and stallion owners earned $15,468,436 in awards in 2019.

Purse Enrichment

The Fund supplied $1,789,669 in purse enrichment to NYRA and Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack in 2019.

The Fund honored an agreement with NYRA to increase the purses offered for the New York Stallion Stakes Series and provided $200,000 in purse enrichment to assist in supporting the program.

EQUINE RESEARCH

The annual contribution of 2% the NY Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund’s revenue to the Harry M. Zweig Fund at Cornell University makes the Fund the largest single contributor to the research group. The 2019 payment of $388,448 to the Harry M. Zweig Fund supported research into issues such as causes and possible cures for equine respiratory and influenza problems, colic in foals, embryonic stem cell research, and mapping the horse genome.

REGISTRY IMPROVEMENTS

The “Check Registration Status” page on the Fund’s website has been modified to include pending applications in order to provide users with timely information regarding the remaining requirements to complete registration of their New York-bred. It is now also specified on the page whether any NY-bred is by a New York stallion. A new “Auction Hips and Registration Statuses” page was added to the website to enable users to determine the statuses of horses in sales, with a link to the “Check Registration Status” page for further details on the remaining requirements for any unregistered horse. In addition, as applications are approved, emails are now automatically generated to inform the client of that fact.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS

The 2019 report highlights NY-bred accomplishments on the racetrack and in the sales ring, and also provides a detailed accounting of the receipts and disbursements in the Breeding Fund’s three incentive areas ‒ breeder awards, stallion owner awards and open-company owner awards.

Additionally, it contains an analysis of the impact of the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding Program. Also included is a brief review of the Fund’s promotion, education and aftercare efforts.

Financial Review

Under founding statutes, the Fund receives revenue from on-track and off-track Thoroughbred handle in New York, and breakage from regional off-track wagers. Total handle accounted for 28 percent and 29 percent of operating revenue in 2019 and 2018, respectively, while breakage accounted for 2 percent of operating revenue for both years.

The Fund obtained an additional contractual source of revenue from Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs) at Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack beginning in 2004, which provided approximately 7 percent of total operating revenue for both 2019 and 2018. Further enhancing Fund revenues, Resorts World Casino began operation of VLTs at in late 2011. Statutory revenue received from this operation was approximately $10.2 million in 2019 and $10.4 million in 2018, or 52 percent and 53 percent of total operating revenue, respectively. The VLT recapture for 2019 of $951K allows the Fund to maintain 2013 Resorts World VLT revenue levels adjusted for inflation and resulted in a 64 percent combined percentage from all VLT revenue sources in 2019 versus 63 percent in 2018.

Effective January 1, 2014, legislation provided for the Fund to receive revenues from Advanced Deposit Wagering (ADW) sources. Total ADW revenue accounted for 5 percent of total operating revenue in both 2019 and 2018.

Total 2019 operating revenues of approximately $19.4 million were slightly lower than the 2018 level. The Fund was able to pay out 100% of all breeder, owner and stallion owner awards earned in 2019. The Fund also authorized a 2% supplemental award to all 2019 award earners and $200,000 in purse enrichment to the New York Racing Association for the New York Stallion Stakes Series.

By closely monitoring administration and promotional expenses, the Fund was able to remain below the statutory spending caps of 5 percent and 6 percent, respectively, in 2019. Administration expenses of $667,568 represented 3.4 percent of total operating revenues in 2019. Promotional expenses of $1,127,905 represent 5.8 percent of 2019 total operating revenues, and includes $105,000 in promotional support for TAA-approved aftercare facilities.

Statutes dictate that the Fund pays the Harry M. Zweig Memorial Fund of Cornell University 2 percent of its operating revenues to fund equine research. The amount payable to Cornell University for 2019 is $388,448. This is a $2,241 decrease from the 2018 total. The Fund provides approximately 60 percent of all funding received by the Zweig Memorial Fund.

Mares & Foals Mare Report

The 2019 New York foal crop of 1,606 foals represents a marginal falloff from the previous year’s crop, as breeders put 25 fewer foals on the ground than they did in 2018 (a 1.5% decrease). Importantly, the foal crop remains 31% larger than the pre-VLT low of 1,225 foals reported back in 2011.

The chart below shows that, for the second year in a row, more New York foals are by out-of-state or non- registered NY stallions than are sired by stallions registered with the NY Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund.

NY-Sired 689 43% Non-NY-Sired 917 57% Total foals 1606

The unknown stallion above is the sire of the foal of a rescue mare. The foal had medical complications and died before its sire could be identified genetically.

Please see the graphs on the following pages for further statistics on mares and foals in the state for 2019.

Stallion Report

For a Thoroughbred who only went one-for-12 on the track, earning $44,016, Freud has had a phenomenal impact as a stallion. The son of Storm Cat out of Mariah’s Storm by Rahy is a full brother to champion sire Giant’s Causeway.

Freud, who stands at Sequel Stallions New York for a stud fee of $6,500, led all New York-bred stallions in 2019, his 16th crop at the age of 21, and ranked 87th nationally with progeny earnings of $4,031,706. His highest earner was A Freud of Mama ($342,068).

For his career, Freud’s progeny have earned more than $58.4 million from 1,833 victories, with 66 stakes winners and 19 graded stakes winners, including Grade 1 winner Sharp Azteca, in North America. He has also stood in the Southern Hemisphere, and his 14 crops there have produced 443 victories with earnings of more than $4.6 million.

There haven’t been many horses more successful on the racetrack than 2008 Kentucky Derby and winner Big Brown, who won seven of eight career starts for earnings of $3,614,500. The son of Boundary out of the Nureyev mare Mien also cracked the top 100 in North America stallion standings as a 14- year-old, finishing 97th with earnings of $3,701,699, led by his top earner Funny Guy ($352,925). For his career in North America, Big Brown’s progeny have 803 wins with more than $26.6 million in earnings. In the Southern Hemisphere, Big Brown’s progeny have achieved 287 victories and earnings topping $5 million. He stands for a $5,000 stud fee at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions.

As a nine-year-old, Central Banker, who stands for $7,500 at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds, has had immediate success in his first two crops, which isn’t surprising considering his proficiency on the racetrack. His four victories in 13 career starts included the Grade 2 Stakes, and he earned just a tad under $600,000.

The son of Speightstown out of Rhum by Go For Gin had 13 winners that earned more than $1 million in his initial crop in 2018. He had a breakthrough year in 2019, finishing fifth in North America among second-crop sires and 101st among all sires with $3,470,715 in earnings. His leading earner was Newly Minted ($419,613). He also ranked 61st nationally among sires of two-year-olds.

Bellamy Road, a son of Concerto out of Hurry Home Hillary by Deputed Testamony, left quite an impression on the racetrack, taking the 2005 Grade 1 Wood Memorial by 17 ½ lengths and equaling the track record at Aqueduct. As a 17-year-old in 2019, Bellamy Road finished 122nd nationally with $2,786,290 earnings, led by Hell N Wild ($125.289). In his first 10 crops of racing age, Bellamy Road has 1,173 winners and more than $31.7 million in earnings. He stands at Irish Hill and Dutchess Views Stallions for a stud fee of $5,000.

Four New York stallions finished in a row in progeny earnings in North America, ranking 140th, 141st, 142nd and 143rd. Leading that foursome was Mission Impazible, a son of Unbridled’s Song out of La Paz by Hold Your Peace who earned more than $1.2 million on the track. As a 12-year-old in 2019, Mission Impazible ranked 140th with progeny earnings of $2,451,970. He also ranked 75th among sires of two-year-olds and was New York’s leading two-year-old sire. His top earner was Dream Passage ($305,828). His stud fee is $5,000 at Sequel Stallions New York.

Just behind Mission Impazible was the undefeated Bustin Stones, a son of City Zip out of Shesasurething by Prospectors Gamble who capped his six-for-six racing record by taking the Grade 1 Carter, finishing with earnings of $480,150. As a 15-year-old in 2019, Bustin Stones’ progeny earned $2,428,950, led by Fair Regis ($257,857). Mission Impazible’s eight crops have produced 488 wins and more than $12.6 million in earnings. He stands for a $5,000 stud fee at Waldorf Farm. 35

Posse finished 142nd with progeny earnings of $2,414,553, led by Rinaldi ($185,640). Posse moved to Uruguay in December 2016.

Frost Giant, a son of Giant’s Causeway out of Takesmybreathaway by Gone West, won four of 15 starts including the Grade 1 Suburban, and earned $454,630. As a 16-year-old in 2019, his progeny earnings were $2,391,598 led by Kid Is Frosty, who had three wins, four seconds and one third from 10 starts, earning $327,570. Standing for a stud fee of $2,500 at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions, Frost Giant has had 471 wins and more than $16.4 million in North America in eight crops. He’s also had 227 victories and more than $2.8 million in earnings in the Southern Hemisphere from eight crops.

Other Ranked Stallions

New York stallions ranked among the North American leaders in several categories. Among first-crop sires, Majestic City was 35th, Micromanage was 38th, the pensioned Golden Ticket was 63rd, Zivo was 66th, Stephanoatsee finished 76th and Dr. Disco was 80th. Among second-crop sires, Alpha was 21st and Honorable Dillion 30th. The late Wilcox Inn was 51st. Among third-crop sires, Forty Tales was 34th, Heavy Breathing was 55th and the late Bridgetown was 88th. Among sires of two-year-olds, Central Banker ranked 61st and Mission Impazible was 75th.

New Stallions

Future New York-breds may be a bit grayer in the upcoming years thanks to the addition of two highly accomplished gray stallions that will be standing in New York at Rockridge Stud in Hudson. Patricia Generazio’s homebred world-record-setter Disco Partner, a son of Disco Rico out of Lulu’s Number by Numerous, was one of the best turf sprinters on the planet, winning 11 of 33 starts with six seconds and eight thirds, including a win in the Grade 2 Jaipur Invitational Stakes in 2018 and consecutive victories in the Belmont Turf Sprint Invitational Stakes in 2017 and 2018. He is standing his first season in 2020. In the 2018 Jaipur, Disco Partner set a world record for six furlongs, clocking a remarkable 1:05.67. He also won five other stakes, earning just under $1.5 million. He will stand for $5,000.

“I believe Disco Partner is a very exciting prospect for New York breeders,” his trainer, Christophe Clement, said. “He had a tremendous amount of speed, and speed is always dangerous. He also had a fantastic turn of foot, and he’s retiring perfectly sound after consistently racing for many years at the highest level.”

The gray Leofric, a son of Candy Ride (ARG) out of Lady Godiva by Unbridled’s Song, will stand for $7,500. He posted a record of eight wins, one second and three thirds from 14 starts, earning $951,040. He captured the Grade 1 Clark Handicap, the Grade 2 Fayette and the Grade 3 West Virginia Governor’s Stakes on the way to winning five of seven starts as a five-year-old in 2018.

Dr. Disco, also a son of stalwart NY sire Disco Rico, is a chestnut who won multiple stakes races while amassing earnings of just under $360,000. With a record of 8 wins, seven seconds and three thirds from 34 starts, he should prove to be a good source of soundness for breeders. Being that he is out of a speedy Dr. Blum mare, his connections expect he will also pass along speed to his offspring from both sides of his pedigree. Dr. Disco is standing for a private stud fee at Keane Stud, the same farm that stood his sire from 2008 to 2014.

Sakonnet earned a place in the stallion barn at Mill Creek Farm in Stillwater by virtue of a winning race record and the fact that he is by the late great sire Scat Daddy out of Beckles Road by Smart Strike. He will stand in 2020 for a stud fee of $1500. 36

Shatak, standing at Majestic View Farms International in Gardiner, NY, is a son of Cryptoclearance who earned over $100,000 and placed in the Grade 3 Miami Mile Stakes. He will stand for a stud fee of $2,500 in 2020.

Snow Trouble lands on the Foggy Bottom Farm roster in Livingston County, NY as an allowance-winning son of top sire Tapit out of a Storm Cat mare named Smara. Perhaps more importantly, his eighth dam is the Reine de Course mare La Troienne. His published stud fee for 2020 is $1,000.

Solomini, a son of Curlin out of the Storm Cat mare Surf Song, finished first in the Grade 1 Los Alamitos Futurity but was disqualified and placed third. He was second in the Grade 1 Frontrunner Stakes and the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at two, and placed in both the Grade 2 Rebel Stakes and the Grade 1 Arkansas Derby at 3, earning over $800,000 in his career. He will stand for a stud fee of $6,500 at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds.

Zamperini, a son of Meadow Monster out of the Lac Ouimet mare Lizotte, hopes to attract mares to his residence at Chamberlin Farm in Comstock, NY in Washington County. He will stand in 2020 for a stud fee of $800.

New York-Bred Auction Summary

NY-BREDS AT AUCTION: 2019

OVERVIEW

The conclusion of the 2019 New York-bred sales season marked the end of a decade of unprecedented growth in the New York-bred bloodstock market. From 2010 to 2019, total combined sales of New York-bred weanlings, yearlings and two-year-olds in training more than tripled, catapulting from $16,408,300 in 2010 to $52,597,294 in 2019.

During this decade of expansion, all three sectors of NY-bred sales horses have taken turns grabbing the headlines. NY-bred yearlings had break-out years in 2013 and 2018; the two-year-old market surged in 2011, 2014 and 2018; and the weanling market spiked in 2013 and 2017.

At the same time, as with most markets, sectors of the New York-bred bloodstock market have experienced periodic corrections. In 2016, for example, yearling and weanling sales dipped, tracking with an across-the- board decline in overall North American sales. The following year New York-bred auction results came roaring back across the board, culminating in record-breaking sales results in 2018.

In 2019 (as in 2016 and to a lesser extent in 2014), the New York-bred yearling and weanling markets experienced a year of correction. On the heels of a record-breaking year in 2018 that saw a 12.5% increase in total New York-bred yearling sales, the yearling sector dipped by 14.5% last year. This decline come against the backdrop of 4.4% dip in North American yearling sales overall in 2019. The New York-bred weanling market, for its part, fell by 24.02% in 2019. This also tracks with a parallel drop in North American weanling sales of 10.1% year-over-year.

New York-bred two-year-olds, by contrast, saw a third consecutive year of increase in total sales in 2019. Total sales hit a new high-water mark of $19,120,977, up 4.8% from 2018. In addition, the momentum of the juvenile sector is strong, up 17.7% in total sales in value in 2017 and another 37.8% in 2018.

The particular success of the New York-bred juvenile market in recent years is arguably driven by the ever- expanding racing opportunities for state-bred two-year-olds on the New York Racing Association (NYRA) circuit.

NYRA added five new races for New York-bred juveniles in 2014 and in 2019, when total purse money doubled for the New York Stallion Stakes Series for New York-sired New York-breds courtesy of Fund Purse Enrichment. The Great White Way for males and the Fifth Avenue for fillies became the richest sire stakes races in the country, with purses of $500,000 each.

The sales review that follows will begin with a brief overview of the expansion of the New York-bred bloodstock market over the course of the decade just concluded. Detailed analysis of the New York-bred yearling, two-year-old and weanling sales results for 2019 will follow.

New York-bred sales statistics are based on data from The Jockey Club. National sales statistics are derived from the Blood-Horse, “2019 Auction Digest” (December 21/December 28, 2019, pp. 57-175). Statistics from the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred preferred yearling sale are based on company data.

Decade-Long Expansion at a Glance

The New York-bred bloodstock market has experienced a remarkable expansion over the last 10 years. A simple bar chart of the combined sales results of New York-bred yearlings, two-year-olds and weanlings for 2010 to 2019 and the steep trendline tell the story at a glance. The underlying data follows.

When taken individually, results for each sector – yearlings, two-year-olds and weanlings – illustrate that the expansion has been fairly consistent across the board.

Yearlings comprise the largest sector of the Thoroughbred bloodstock market in New York (and nationwide). Over the last decade an average of 457 New York-bred yearlings changed hands at public auction annually. From 2010 to 2019 New York-bred yearling sales rose by 188%, from $9,956,500 to $28,659,017. Total sales peaked in 2018 with $33,534,737. These increases far outperformed the North American yearling market as a whole, which increased by 73% during the decade.

Total sales of New York-bred two-year-olds, about half the size numerically of the yearling cohort over the last decade with an annual average of 214 individuals, experienced a comparable increase. Total juvenile sales increased by 176%, from $5,082,300 in 2010 to $19,120,977 in 2019. The 2019 figure was a new record in total sales for this group.

The New York-bred weanling market, averaging 106 individuals annually, increased by 151%, from $1,369,500 to $4,817,300. The high-water mark for this group came in 2017 with total sales of $6,942,400.

Concurrently with the decade-long expansion in New York, there has been a noteworthy development in the North American bloodstock market overall: a tendency toward polarization. In other words, competition at the very top of the market has intensified over time. New York breeders have risen to the challenge of meeting the more exacting market demands, raising the bar and producing proportionately more top-quality individuals

In the case of New York-bred yearlings, for example, only 19 individuals sold for $100,000 and up in 2010. In the past three years, from 2017 to 2019, the total number of individuals bringing six figures was 96, 107 and 92, respectively. The price ceiling has also risen. In the early part of the recent decade, buyers did not venture over $500,000 to purchase a top New York-bred yearling. In the past three years, however, the top-selling New York-bred yearlings have fetched $750,000, $1,000,000 and $775,000, respectively.

The revolution in the New York-bred bloodstock market from 2010 to 2019 should be regarded as a generational expansion. In other words, it is unlikely that the market can sustain such a dramatic rate of increase. That said, although we should not be surprised to see some flattening of the upward trendline in the future, there is no indication on the horizon (barring unforeseen economic pressures on the New York or national market) of any dramatic interruption of positive forward momentum.

STATISTICAL REVIEW AND ANALYSIS BY SALES SECTOR

Along with the 2019 dip in the New York-bred yearling market at large, the Fasig-Tipton New York-bred yearling sale in Saratoga, which is accurately billed as “the industry’s leading source of quality New York-bred yearlings,” also declined in 2019. In this case, the major indicators reverted to the levels of 2017, which was a record-breaking year in its own right.

Sales results in 2020 will help determine whether the 2019 data is a product of a natural market fluctuation, as in 2016, or marks a leveling off of the sector’s upward trajectory.

New York-Bred Yearling Top Achiever: Filly by Malibu Moon out of Savvy Sassy (Hip 592 at the Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Preferred Yearling Sale)

The top-selling New York-bred yearling of 2019, a filly by Malibu Moon, set a new sales record at the Fasig-Tipton New York-Bred Preferred Yearling Sale when she brought $775,000 from Larry Best’s OXO Equine. The previous sales record was set in 2018, when a bay colt by Pioneerof the Nile bred by Jonathan Thorne’s Thorndale Farm in Millbrook brought $600,000.

The bay Malibu Moon filly was bred by Richard Leahy’s Oak Bluff Stables, LLC in partnership with Christophe Clement. Winter Quarter Farm consigned the filly for Oak Bluff.

The topper is the second foal out of Savvy Sassy, an Ontario-bred six- figure earner by Street Sense who was purchased in by John Donaldson, bloodstock agent for Oak Bluff Stable, for $80,000 at the 2016 Keeneland November sale. Savvy Sassy is a half-sister to Southdale, a multiple graded stakes winner and S S Pinafore, dam of graded winner Plainsman. The sale filly’s third dam is stakes winner Pinafore Park, who earned over $400,000.

As it turned out, the record-breaking transaction was something of an “impulse buy.” “I’ve never shopped the New York sale before,” prominent owner Larry Best explained. “I didn’t even intend to shop today. But I had nothing to do this afternoon, so I came over and looked at some horses and that one caught my eye. It’s a beautiful day. I had other business to do this morning, got done early and felt like I’d come over and look. And here we are.”

Best continued, “I love Malibu Moon as a broodmare sire, so I look at it from a breeding standpoint, long-term. If she wins some races, that would be really special, but I don’t see very many Malibu Moon fillies that I just fall in love with. This was one that is very athletic, she has a shot at the track, but after racing, I’ll use her as a broodmare. There is a consistency of quality in the filly.”

New York-Bred Two-Year-Old Sales Results

In 2019 New York-bred two-year-olds capped a three-year growth spurt with a record-breaking tally in total sales. Year-over-year, the New York-bred juvenile market increased 4.8% in value, from $18,243,700 to $19,120,977.

47

The results are especially impressive given that 2017 and 2018 were hard acts to follow. As the three-year window (below) illustrates, in 2017 sales of two-year-olds were up 17.7% (to $13,240,000), and in 2018 total sales increased another 37.8% (to $18,243,700).

The New York-bred two-year-old average and median prices in 2019 did not quite keep pace with the increase in total sales. The average slipped nominally (down 1.2%) and the median fell 12.5% (a $5,000 increment). On the other hand, the 2019 data for average and median remained significantly above 2017 levels.

From a wider, decade-long perspective, the New York-bred two-year-old sector, like the others, has experienced a series of record-breaking years (2011, 2014, 2018 and 2019) interspersed with corrections (2012-2013 and 2016).

Also, like the yearlings, the New York-bred two-year-old market has been able to meet the challenge of the increasingly polarized market. In 2015, 50 juveniles brought six figures for the first time, and the price ceiling has risen dramatically. The market saw its first seven-figure New York-bred juvenile in 2018. Last year that record was obliterated by an exceptional colt from Chester and Mary Broman’s breeding program that brought $2,000,000.

As noted in the introduction, increasing interest in the New York-bred juvenile market over the last three years should be linked to expanding racing opportunities for this race-ready population.

New York-Bred Two-Year-Old Top Achiever: Colt by Tapit out of Artemis Agrotera (Hip 33 at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co. March Sale)

A New York-bred two-year old colt by Tapit bred by Chester and Mary Broman catapulted the New York program and the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.’s March Sale into record territory last spring, when he brought $2 million. The New York program’s previous top two-year-old seller was a $1 million colt from the final crop of Scat Daddy out of Risky Rachel who sold at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Gulfstream sale.

L.E.B signed the ticket for striking grey on behalf of a partnership between West Point Thoroughbreds, Rob Masiello and Siena Farm after he turned in a sharp :10 1/5 breeze. The Bromans are also retaining a one-third interest in the youngster. Becky Thomas’ Sequel Bloodstock consigned the colt.

Named Chestertown – the name of the Bromans’ farm in Chestertown, NY 50 miles north of Saratoga – the colt is the first foal out of stellar Broman homebred Artemis Agrotera, by Roman Ruler, who won three graded stakes topped by the Grade 1 Frizette and Grade 1 Ballerina, earning $943,800 before graduating to broodmare duty.

The colt’s second dam is Indy Glory by A.P. Indy, also bred and campaigned by the Bromans. A full sister to Grade 1 winner, millionaire and sire Stephen Got Even and to stakes winner Grand Merger, Indy Glory was a stakes-winning router with multiple graded placings. The Bromans purchased the colt’s third dam Immerse (Cox’s Ridge) at the 1997 Keeneland November sale for $350,000.

New York-Bred Weanling Sales Results

The New York-bred weanling market experienced a relatively dramatic correction last year, marking a second year of decline following a record-breaking year in 2017, in which New York-bred weanling sales totaled 49

$13,240,000. In 2019, total weanling sales were down 24.2% from the prior year. The year-over-year average and median were off 22.8% and 19.6%, respectively. For context, North American weanling sales overall were down 10.1% in 2019.

Against the backdrop of a steady upward trendline for New York-bred weanlings over the last decade, it will be necessary to keep a closer eye than usual on the weanling sector in 2020 to determine whether the 2019 results are an outlier or the beginning of a trend. It is worth noting that, as the smallest of the three sectors of New York-bred sale horses numerically, the numbers put up by the weanling market are relatively volatile.

New York-Bred Weanling Top Achiever: Filly by Pioneerof the Nile out of Murky Waters (Hip 330 at Keeneland November)

The top-priced New York-bred weanling of 2019, changing hands at the Keeneland November breeding stock sale, was a bay Pioneerof the Nile filly purchased by Rascal Bloodstock for $200,000.

Bred by Highclere Inc. in partnership with Springtown Show Stables and Pioneerof the Nile Syndicate, the filly is out of Murky Waters (by Storm Creek). She was consigned by Stuart Morris, agent for Highclere and Partners.

The star weanling is a half-sister to three winners, topped by Red Vine, a stakes winner by Candy Ride (ARG) who, inter alia, ran second to Tonalist in the 2015 Grade 1 Cigar Mile. The filly’s second dam is multiple stakes winner Fort Pond, who went on to produce multiple graded stakes winner, millionaire and sire Fort Prado, as well as stakes winner Cammack. Murky Waters last changed hands at public auction, when purchased by Morris Bloodstock Services for $75,000 at the 2015 Fasig-Tipton Kentucky fall mixed sale.

CONCLUSION

As stated in the introduction, the phenomenal growth of the New York-bred bloodstock market from 2010 to 2019 has been nothing less than a generational expansion that has completely overhauled the profile of the New York breeding program.

It is reasonable to expect that the rapid rate of growth will moderate over the next three to five years as the New York-bred bloodstock market settles into something of a steady state.

Barring something unforeseen – like a dramatic change in the New York purse structure or incentive awards structure, or some larger economic disturbance with nationwide effects – in the longer term we are likely to see all three sectors remain solid while experiencing year-to-year fluctuations that mirror national trends.

New York-Breds at the Races

Already established as the premier breeding incentive program in the country, New York-breds’ performance in 2019 suggests even greater success in 2020. In 2019, 50 owners topped $250,000 in earnings, 32 breeders bred horses with at least $200,000 in earnings, and 32 individual horses earned more than $200,000. Another 18 horses won more than $170,000.

Consider: the New York Racing Association held three more of the popular New York-bred Showcase Days in 2019, two at and one at Saratoga; a two-year-old New York-bred colt, Chestertown, sold for a record $2 million in Ocala, the highest price ever paid at auction for a New York-bred weanling, yearling or two-year-old and also a sales record at that Ocala sale; another two-year-old New York-bred colt, Tiz the Law, became the Winter Book favorite for the 2020 Kentucky Derby; and two record $500,000 races for two-year- old New York-breds, the highest sire stakes purses in the country, were offered as part of the New York Stallion Stakes Series in mid-December.

In breeding, proven older sires led by Freud and Big Brown had ongoing success in 2019, as did the hot second-year stallion Central Banker. Many successful New York stallions are modestly priced compared to their competition, with no New York stallion standing for more than $7,500 in 2019. They’ll be joined by a quality group of new stallions in 2020, making it easy to conclude that New York-breds are poised to take on the world.

“I think New York-breds have gotten better, better and better,” trainer Barclay Tagg said. “I think the program has really enhanced New York-bred horses. There are a lot of serious breeders in New York.”

Tagg trained one of the most successful New York-breds ever, Sackatoga Stable’s 2003 Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner Funny Cide, and is now the trainer of Sackatoga Stable’s colt Tiz the Law, the Winter Book favorite for the Kentucky Derby thanks to his dominant four-length victory in the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes and a troubled, close third by three-quarters of a length as the 3-5 favorite in the Grade 2 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes.

Bred by Twin Creeks Farm, Tiz the Law is a son of Constitution out of the Tiznow mare Tizfiz who sold for $110,000 as a yearling at Saratoga in August 2018. Tiz the Law has already earned $347,000 from his two victories and a third in his three starts as a two-year-old. Constitution is also the sire of the undefeated three- year-old Independence Hall, whose three-for-three record includes victories in two stakes.

“We got lucky again,” Sackatoga Stables Racing Manager Jack Knowlton said. “Funny Cide was by a first- year-stallion, Distorted Humor. That was his first crop. We got him for $75,000. Pretty good investment for not just the thrills, but he earned $3.5 million ($3,529,412, the most by a New York-bred until he was passed by Mind Your Biscuits). Tiz the Law is by a first-crop sire again. History repeats itself. “The New York program is great. If you’ve got limited dollars, it still goes further in a sale, I think, than in the open sales. You get stakes opportunities that you don’t get, you can run against only New York-breds if you want.”

Then there are the bonus owner awards for those New York-breds who compete successfully in open company. “When Tiz the Law won the Champagne, we got a bonus of $20,000, the top (owner) award,” Knowlton said.

Knowlton’s interest in New York-breds goes all the way back to Fio Rito, the New York-bred Finger Lakes shipper who stunned the industry when he won the 1981 Whitney Stakes at Saratoga. “That was the first time I got the sense that New York-breds can do anything,” Knowlton said. “When we got in the game, we had $30,000 from six guys. Our goal was to win a race at Saratoga. Your best way to do this is with a New York- 52 bred. When Funny Cide won the Derby, the Kentucky Governor said that it was a great day for Kentucky and a greater day for New York. It’s exciting to be a New Yorker and be in the New York program.”

Chester and Mary Broman have known that for a long time, and they have dominated the New York-bred owner and breeder standings for many years, including in 2019, when they were No. 1 as breeders with $3.7 million in earnings, more than $2 million ahead of second-place McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds, and as owners with $1.6 million in earnings, more than $600,000 ahead of Repole Stable in second.

One of their outstanding mares, Artemis Agrotera, won more than $900,000 thanks to victories in the Grade 1 Frizette, Grade 1 Ballerina and Grade 2 Gallant Bloom. The Bromans bred her to Tapit, and the gray colt she produced, Chestertown, the name of their farm in Chestertown, NY in the foothills of the Adirondacks, was entered in the 2019 Ocala Breeders’ March two-year-olds-in-training sale. Chestertown sold for $2 million, the highest price ever at the famous sale. West Point Thoroughbreds, Robert Masiello and Siena Farm joined the Bromans, who retained a one-third interest in him as owners. trains the colt.

Chestertown started slowly, then rallied to finish third by 2 ¾ lengths in his six-furlong debut at Belmont Park on October 24th. He then won a one-mile maiden special weight at Aqueduct on December 1st by 2 ¾ lengths, suggesting the greater the distance, the better, which is why he is expected to be on the Kentucky Derby trail this spring.

There’s never been a better time to race a two-year-old New York-bred, a point emphasized by a pair of $500,000 divisions of the New York Stallion Stakes Series on the weekend of Dec. 14th and 15th.

In the Great White Way Division on the 14th, Shea D Boys Stable’s two-year-old colt Bank On Shea nosed Dream Bigger for the victory. Dr. Scott Pierce bred Bank On Shea, a colt by Central Banker out of the Uncle Mo mare Miss Moultree who sold for $110,000 in April 2019 in the Ocala Breeders’ Sale and is trained by Jason Servis. He was sent off at odds of 10-1. Dream Bigger, the 6-5 favorite off consecutive victories in the $204,000 New York Breeders’ Futurity at Finger Lakes and the $100,000 Notebook Stakes, was bred by Sequel New York, Twin Creeks Racing and Pamela Zielinski. The gray daughter of Mission Impazible out of Downtown Daria by Sky Mesa sold for $205,000 in April 2019 at the Ocala Breeders Sale. She is trained by Rudy Rodriguez.

Think New York-breds impressed buyers in Ocala last spring?

The following afternoon at Aqueduct, William Butler’s homebred filly A Freud of Mama, a 23-1 longshot, captured the Fifth Avenue Division. Trained by Mike Maker, A Freud of Mama is a daughter of Freud out of Mama Theresa by Thunder Gulch. She had two victories and one third in five starts, earning $342,068, ninth highest of all New York-breds for 2019.

Graded Stakes Winners

Tiz the Law was not the only New York-bred graded stakes winner in 2019. On March 19th at Tampa Bay Downs, Sand Dollar Stable’s homebred three-year-old colt Somelikeithotbrown, co-owned by Skychai Racing and co-bred by Hot Pink Stables, captured the Grade 3 Jeff Ruby Steaks. As a two-year-old in the 2018 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf, Somelikeithotbrown finished a close third. Mike Maker trains the colt. Somelikeithotbrown is a son of Big Brown out of the Tapit mare Marilyn Monroan.

Gucci Factor, Castleton Lyons’ six-year-old New York-bred gelding turf star, won three of four starts, including the Grade 3 Poker Stakes. Bred by Highclere and trained by Christophe Clement, the son of out of Shoo In by Dynaformer followed a victory in the $125,000 Stakes on Showcase Day May 27th with a nose victory in the aforementioned Poker Stakes on June 16th. After finishing sixth in the $125,000

53

Ashley T. Stakes for New York-breds, Gucci Factor captured the $200,000 Mohawk Stakes on Showcase Day October 19th. That was his sixth victory in his last eight starts and made him seven-for-10 on turf.

Harold Lerner, AWC Stables and Nehoc Stables’ five-year-old horse Pat On the Back, bred by Sugar Maple Farm, won three of his six starts in 2019, taking the $100,000 Affirmed Success Stakes for state-breds, the $200,000 Commentator for New York-breds on Showcase Day May 27th and the Grade 2 Kelso Handicap on September 21st. He also finished second twice, earning $383,550 in 2019, fourth highest among New York- breds. Trained by Jeremiah Englehart, Pat On the Back, a son of Congrats out of Accomplished by Awesome Again, has more than $1 million in career earnings.

How Much Do You Get for Finishing Fifth?

Incredibly, the top New York-bred earner in 2019 was WinStar Farm’s four-year-old colt Audible, who made just two starts last year, finishing fifth twice. However, those fifth-place finishes were in the $9 million Pegasus World Cup and the $12 million Dubai World Cup, netting Audible $910,000.

Audible, a son of Into Mischief out of Blue Devil Bel by Gilded Time, was bred by Oak Bluff Stables and trained by , and sold for $500,000 as a two-year-old in March 2017. As a three-year-old in 2018, Audible won the Grade 2 Holy Bull at Gulfstream by 5 ½ lengths and the Grade 1 by three lengths. He finished third by 2 ¼ lengths to undefeated Triple Crown champion Justify in the Grade 1 Kentucky Derby. Later in the year, he won the $200,000 Cherokee Run Stakes at Churchill Downs by two lengths and finished second in the Grade 3 Harlan’s Holiday Stakes. Audible is standing for $25,000 in Kentucky in 2020.

The Amazing Mr. Buff

It’s rare when a horse can be at his best at the beginning of the year and at the end, but that’s exactly what Chester and Mary Broman’s homebred five-year-old gelding Mr. Buff did in 2019, earning $455,750, second highest among New York-breds thanks to five victories and one third in nine starts. And two of his losses were in Grade 1 stakes: the Woodward at Saratoga and the Clark at Churchill Downs.

The son of Friends Or Foe out of Speightful Affair by Speightstown was trained and managed beautifully by John Kimmel. Mr. Buff began his five-year-old season on January 26th, taking the open Jazil Stakes by 5 ¼ lengths. He ended his season on December 28th, winning the $100,000 Alex M. Robb for New York-breds for the second straight year by 7 ½ lengths. A year before, Mr. Buff won the same race, in his first stakes triumph, by a nose.

In between those two victories in 2019, Mr. Buff also captured three New York-bred stakes: the $97,000 Saginaw Stakes by 6 ¼ lengths at Belmont Park, the $101,000 Evan Shipman Stakes by 3 ½ lengths at Saratoga, and the $306,000 Empire Classic by one length on Showcase Day at Belmont Park October 19th.

Mr. Buff’s victory in the Evan Shipman was especially impressive. He had been leading or racing just off the early pace in his last 10 starts, including his 6 ¼-length romp in his previous start in the Saginaw Stakes. But his jockey, Junior Alvarado, who rode Mr. Buff in eight of his nine starts in 2019, was forced to improvise in the Evan Shipman. “He got his right leg stuck in the gate right before the break,” Alvarado said. “He wasn’t standing great when we broke. He kind of missed the start.”

So Mr. Buff settled in third, two lengths off front-running Sea Foam early. It didn’t matter. When Alvarado gave Mr. Buff his cue, he took the front and won easily. “He was there for me every step of the way,” Alvarado said. “He just does what he needs to win.”

Kimmel was understandably impressed with Mr. Buff’s performance: “He didn’t break sharp, and for a horse that’s got a lot of 1’s in his past performance lines, for him to be behind horses and come up and outrun these horses, I was pretty proud of that effort.”

Kimmel usually is with Mr. Buff, who is 12-for-33 on dirt with six seconds, four thirds and earnings of more than $930,186. He finished eighth in his lone grass try in his fourth career start.

In another huge season for the Bromans, Mr. Buff was their biggest winner.

Showcase Days Double Winners

The spacing of the three New York-bred Showcase Day cards in 2019 on May 27th, August 23rd and October 19th allowed talented New York-breds to win more than one rich stakes. Last year, Gucci Factor, Fifty Five and Newly Minted each won two Showcase Day Stakes.

Peter Brant’s Brant’s five-year-old New York-bred mare Fifty Five had a phenomenal season in 2019, with four victories and a second from six starts.

Empire Equines bred Fifty Five, a daughter of Get Stormy out of Soave by Brahms who followed a fourth-place finish by a half-length in the Grade 2 Ballston Spa Stakes at Saratoga with a three-quarter-length score in the $125,000 John Hettinger Stakes for New York-breds.

On Showcase Day at Belmont Park on October 19th, Fifty Five backed up her 1-5 odds under in the field of six with a professional one-length win in what was her second consecutive victory, her sixth straight New York-bred stakes victory and her third consecutive Ticonderoga Stakes. Her victory made Fifty Five racing’s newest millionaire.

“She’s been super consistent for us,” her trainer Chad Brown said. “What a pleasure to have in the barn. I can’t think of a horse who deserves to be a millionaire more than her because she earned it the hard way, a lot of starts and a very consistent record.”

So does Beach Haven Thoroughbreds’ three-year-old filly Newly Minted, who has done little wrong in her eight-race career with five victories, one second and one third. Bred by Chester and Mary Broman, the daughter of Central Banker out of Newbie by Bernardini sold for $110,000 as a two-year-old in April, 2018, and has earned $419,613, third highest of any New York-bred.

Trained by Linda Rice, Newly Minted won her first three starts: a maiden special weight in her career debut on April 13th by 5 ¾ lengths, a $200,000 division of the New York Stallion Stakes Series by 7 ½ lengths, and the $125,000 Bouwerie Stakes by 2 ½ lengths on Showcase Day at Belmont Park May 27th. After finishing third in her turf debut in a $150,000 division of the New York Stallion Stakes Series, she captured the $201,000 Fleet Indian on Showcase Day at Saratoga August 23rd. She finished fourth in the $260,000 Empire Distaff on Showcase Day October 19th at Belmont, then made her final two starts of the season in open allowance company, finishing second at 3-5 odds, then winning by 7 ¼ lengths as the 2-5 favorite on December 22nd.

Other Showcase Day Winners

In addition to Fifty Five, Gucci Factor, Newly Minted and Pat On the Back, other Showcase Day winners on May 27th were Kathryn the Wise and Blindwillie McTell.

Lawrence Goichman’s homebred, the lightly raced six-year-old mare Kathryn the Wise, a daughter of Uncle Mo out of Shea d’Lady by Crafty Prospector, made the most out of her three starts in 2019. She captured the

55

$102,000 La Verdad Stakes on January 5th and the $200,000 Critical Eye Stakes for the second time by five lengths on Showcase Day May 27th. She had won the Critical Eye Stakes by 8 ¼ lengths two years earlier as a four-year-old in 2017. Trained by Chad Brown, Kathryn the Wise has five victories and a third from just eight starts, for career earnings of $375,250.

Another lightly raced homebred, Jerold Zaro’s three-year-old gelding Blindwillie McTell, posted two victories and one second in five starts in 2019. The son of Posse out of Bold Child by Flatter, trained by Linda Rice, won the $125,000 Mike Lee for three-year-old New York-breds by two lengths on Showcase Day May 27th. Earlier in 2019, he won the $101,000 Rego Park by three-quarters of a length in his three-year-old debut on January 17th. He’s made seven career starts with three victories, two seconds and earnings of $276,750.

Joining Newly Minted as winners on Showcase Day August 23rd were Offering Plan, Belle of the Spa, City Man, Fierce Lady and Funny Guy.

Michael Dubb and Nantucket Thoroughbreds’ turf star Offering Plan, a seven-year-old horse bred by C. W. Swann and Cygnet Farm, is a son of Spring At Last out of Rosalie Road by Street Cry (IRE) who is trained by Chad Brad. Offering Plan had one victory and three thirds in six starts in 2019, capturing the $150,000 West Point Stakes by a neck at Saratoga on Showcase Day August 23rd. He finished third in two other New York- bred stakes, the $125,000 Kingston on Showcase Day at Belmont May 27th and the $195,000 Mohawk on Showcase Day at Belmont October 19th in his final start of the season. Offering Plan has earned $891,573 off nine victories, five seconds and seven thirds in his 29 career starts, every one of them on grass.

Anthony McCarthy’s homebred five-year-old mare Belle of the Spa won two of four starts in 2019, including her game score by a neck in the $150,000 Yaddo Stakes on Showcase Day August 23 at Saratoga. Bruce Brown trains the daughter of Pure Prize out of Awakened Beauty by Devil His Due who is four-for-12 in her career with one second, one third and earnings of $225,947.

Funny Guy, a three-year-old colt owned by Gatsas Stables, R. A. Hill Stable and Swick Stable, put together an impressive streak in 2019 when he posted two victories and four seconds in six successive starts. Hibiscus Stable bred Funny Guy, a son of Big Brown out of Heavenly Humor by Distorted Humor who is trained by John Terranova. Funny Guy started his streak when he finished second in a New York-bred allowance on March 16th. He bounced back with a three-quarter-length victory in a $200,000 division of the New York Stallion Stakes Series on April 20th. After finishing second in three straight stakes--the $125,000 Albany Stakes and a pair of $150,000 divisions of the New York Stallion Stakes Series--Funny Guy gamely took the $256,000 Albany Stakes at Saratoga on Showcase Day August 23rd. In his final start of the year, he finished sixth in the Grade 3 Oklahoma Derby.

Nice Guys Stables and Steve Hornstock’s three-year-old filly Fierce Lady had a successful four-start first season of racing in 2019. Bred by Sugar Maple Farm and trained by Dermot Magner, the daughter of Competitive Edge out of the A.P Jet mare Anjorie, made a spectacular debut June 22nd, winning a maiden special weight by six lengths. She jumped up to stakes company for her three subsequent starts. After finishing second by a nose in the $97,000 Stillwater Stakes on July 18th, she won the $200,000 Seeking the Ante Stakes by a neck on Showcase Day August 23rd at Saratoga. She then finished second by two lengths in the $150,000 Joseph A. Gimma Stakes, giving her two victories and two seconds in four starts, for earnings of $194,100.

City Man, a two-year-old colt owned by Reeves Thoroughbred Racing and Peter and Patty Searles, couldn’t have begun his career any better. The son of Mucho Macho Man out of City Scamper by City Zip, bred by Moonstar Farm and trained by Christophe Clement, followed a three-length victory in his debut with a 4 ¾- length romp in the $200,000 Funny Cide Stakes on Showcase Day August 23rd at Saratoga. He then finished a game third by a head in the $145,000 Bertram Bongard Stakes at Belmont Park, fourth in the $250,000 Sleepy

56

Hollow Stakes and fourth in his turf debut in the open $100,000 Central Park Stakes. He earned $192,000 for the year.

Patience Rewarded

Rarely do owners wait on horses until the age of five to make their debut. Gary Broad did, and he’s still smiling about the incredible season his five-year-old mare Ratajkowski turned in, progressing from first-time starter to stakes winner in less than five months.

John Hicks and H & H Farm bred Ratajkowski, a daughter of Drosselmeyer out of Quiet North by Quiet American who is trained by Brian Lynch. Ratajkowski made her debut at the age of five on May 25th at Belmont Park in a maiden special weight, finishing third by three lengths. Lynch added Lasix and Ratajkowski won a maiden special weight by a length and a quarter in her next start. She added a close second by three- quarters of a length and consecutive allowance victories, the first by a head and the second by an eye-catching 10 ¼ lengths.

That convinced Ratajkowski’s connections to step her up to the one-mile $250,000 Empire Distaff at Belmont on Showcase Day October 19th. Jose Ortiz, who had ridden Ratajkowski in all her starts, delivered a flawless ride and Ratajkowski won her stakes debut by a head. She then stepped up to the Grade 2 Falls City Handicap at Churchill Downs on November 28th and finished fourth to conclude her season.

All she’d done was post four victories, one second, one third and one fourth in seven starts, earning $300,740.

Klaravich Stables and William Lawrence also showed great patience with their five-year-old ridgling Build to Suit, trained by Chad Brown. The son of Dominus out of Aspen Mountain by Chief Seattle, bred by Spendthrift Farm, was out of action from October 13th, 2017 to January 26th, 2019, when he won an open allowance race by 6 ¼ lengths. In his stakes debut off another layoff on August 4th, Build to Suit finished second by a nose in the $100,000 John Morrissey Stakes at Saratoga. He recovered to win an open allowance race at Belmont Park on September 14th, then entered the $150,000 Hudson Handicap on Showcase Day October 19th as the 6-5 favorite under Manny Franco. Build to Suit won by 2 ½ lengths.

Brown deferred credit for Build to Suit’s performance. “We got a lot of help from Bruce Jackson down at Fair Hill,” Brown said. “He and his team did a great job with this horse. He sent this horse back to us in good shape, and he’s running as good as he ever was. He won’t do anything that would get you excited in the morning. He always runs a little bit better than I think he’s going to. He’s a real cool horse to be around and he’s earned everything that he gets. He’s all heart.”

Build to Suit finished 2019 three-for-four with one second and earnings of $187,750. For his career he is six- for-10 with two seconds, two thirds and earnings of more than $340,000.

***********************************

Joining Fifty Five, Ratajkowski, Gucci Factor, Mr. Buff and Built to Suit as Showcase Day winners on October 19th at Belmont Park were Pauseforthecause, Captain Bombastic and Critical Value.

Chester and Mary Broman’s homebred four-year-old filly Pauseforthecause turned from a stakes contender into a two-time stakes winner, one of them in open company. Trained by Kiaran McLaughlin, the daughter of Giant’s Causeway out of the accomplished Spritely by Touch Gold stepped it up in the fall, ending a six-race losing streak by taking an open allowance race by 5 ½ lengths on September 12th. She then took the $150,000 Iroquois Stakes on Showcase Day by 3 ½ lengths. Stepping up to an open-company stakes for the first time on

57

December 8th, Pauseforthecause won the $100,000 Garland of Roses by 2 ½ lengths. That made her three-for- seven in 2019 with two seconds, two thirds and earnings of $260,450.

Chester and Mary Broman also bred Team Hanley’s Captain Bombastic, a two-year-old colt by Forty Tales out of Stolen Star by Cat Thief who is trained by Jeremiah Englehart. Captain Bombastic won his debut by 2 ¼ lengths at Belmont Park on September 28th, then stepped up to stakes company in the $252,000 Sleepy Hollow Stakes on Showcase Day. In a game performance under Jose Ortiz, Captain Bombastic won by a head. He completed his impressive juvenile season with a third-place finish in the $500,000 Great White Way Division of the New York Stallion Stakes Series on December 14th. With two victories and a third in three starts, Captain Bombastic earned $231,600 in 2019.

Ten Strike Racing’s two-year-old filly Critical Value is a daughter of Bodemeister out of the Forestry mare See the Forest who was bred by Marshall Gramm and Clay Sanders. Trained by Jeremiah Englehart, Critical Value nearly won all of her first three starts in 2019. She lost her maiden special weight debut by a nose on August 7th, then broke her maiden by 2 ¾ lengths 22 days later at Saratoga. She made her stakes debut in the $250,000 Maid of the Mist Stakes on Showcase Day October 19th and romped by 5 ½ lengths. That performance induced her connections to enter the Grade 2 Demoiselle on Dec. 7th, in which she finished fourth. She finished her first year of racing with earnings of $211,000.

Other Top Horses in 2019

Two more New York-breds who topped $300,000 in earnings last year were Kid Is Frosty ($327,570), who had three wins, four seconds and one third from 10 starts, and Dream Bigger ($305,828), who posted two victories and three seconds in five starts.

Three New York-breds earned more than $200,000 while winning five races: Dream Passage ($259,546) off five wins and two seconds in 11 starts; the hard-hitting T Loves a Fight ($249,312) thanks to five victories, two seconds and three thirds from 16 starts; and Mrs. Orb ($214,646) with five wins and one second from eight starts.

Other Top Owners in 2019

State & Regional Comparisons

The incentives provided by New York’s Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund, coupled with the high purses at NYRA tracks and plentiful restricted racing opportunities for registered NY-breds (more than 725 races at NYRA and the Finger Lakes, with a significant number of open races at Finger Lakes filled only by NY-bred contestants), continued in 2019 to make the New York program the envy of other states. Our success has in turn driven nearby state and regional programs to step up their mare recruitment programs.

Indiana advertised in 2019 that the Indiana Thoroughbred Breed Development Program would begin in 2020 to offer up to $2,000 in incentives for new mares foaling in the state. To be eligible for an incentive of $1,000, an in-foal mare must be purchased at public auction between November 1, 2019 and March 1, 2020 for a minimum purchase price of $5,000. The new owner must provide proof of purchase and the mare must not have been previously registered in the Indiana Thoroughbred Breed Development Program. The owner must register the mare with the Indiana Horse Racing Commission prior to foaling, foal in Indiana and remain for at least 30 days after foaling. The owner is eligible to collect an additional $1,000 incentive by breeding the mare back to a stallion registered with the Indiana Horse Racing Commission, returning to foal in Indiana in 2021, and registering that foal with the IHRC.

Kentucky As the Bluegrass State considered introducing sports wagering in the near future, one Thoroughbred group came out solidly in favor of the measure, known as House Bill 137 in the Kentucky legislature. The Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP) supports that bill because it contains four measures benefitting horse racing: 1. Sports betting would be made available at the state’s racetracks. 2. The Kentucky Racing Commission would be named the regulatory body overseeing sports wagering. 3. A competitive tax rate would be placed on revenue. 4. 0.5% of the revenue from bets made at Thoroughbred racetracks would to go to the state’s Thoroughbred development fund. The Executive Vice President of KEEP, Elisabeth Jensen, stated her belief that making sports wagering available at racetracks is “an opportunity to get casual sports fans interested in horse racing. That would be a win for us. If we can have big super Sundays at Keeneland or the Red Mile and get people to come out and watch and wager not just on sports, but also simulcasting or live racing, that’s a big win for us.” As of this report filing, the bill has not yet become law in Kentucky.

Maryland now offers 30% awards on purse money for first- through third-place finishes, while New York offers 15% awards on second- and third-place finishes. Maryland’s ad pitch is “Better Stallions. Better Mares,” without providing any specifics. Maryland changed the name of its Maryland Millions Day to Maryland Pride Day in what some see as a reaction to NYRA’s three million-dollar purse days for NY-breds.

Ontario offers breeders’ incentives through the Thoroughbred Improvement program, which in 2019 announced new incentives to recruit in-foal mares to the Canadian province to deliver their foals in 2020. From the Ontario Racing website: The Thoroughbred MPP (Mare Purchase Program) is eligible to purchasers, who are Ontario residents, of an in-foal broodmare at the following 2019-2020 recognized public auctions: Fasig-Tipton November Breeding Stock Sale (November 5, 2019), Keeneland November Breeding Stock Sale (November 6-17, 2019), Fasig-Tipton Midlantic December Mixed Sale (December 10, 2019), Keeneland January Horses

of All Ages Sale (January 13-16, 2020), OBS Winter Mixed Sale (January 28-29, 2020) and Fasig- Tipton Kentucky Winter Mixed Sale (February 10-11, 2020). Eligible applicants will receive 50 percent of the purchase price, up to a maximum of $15,000 (CDN), through the Thoroughbred Horse Improvement Program (TIP) for each mare purchased. An added incentive of $2,500 for every mare that is bred back to a registered Ontario sire in the 2020 breeding season is also available. The MPP is capped at a maximum distribution of $50,000 (CDN) for any one individual or partnership. In order to be considered eligible, there is a minimum purchase price of $15,000 (USD) on any in-foal mare.

Pennsylvania now pays 40% awards to PA-sired PA-breds for first- through third-place finishes. This mimics the NY program, which offers double awards to NY-sired award earners. Pennsylvania reported that 686 mares were bred in the state in 2019, a 12.5% increase over the 2018 figure. The Thoroughbred Daily News reported on January 7, 2020 that the increase “is a direct result of the establishment of the Racehorse Development Fund Trust in 2017. The trust guaranteed that the government could no longer raid… the Fund, which funneled slot- machine revenues into a fund that supported breeding and racing in the state.”

Restricted Purse Money Comparisons As the chart on the following page shows, New York-breds raced for more than $44 million in restricted purse money in 2019. Louisiana comes in a distant second with roughly $25 million for its state-bred horses. Ohio and California were in a virtual dead heat, with California reporting $17.55 million in Cal-bred purse money and Ohio offering $17.36 million in restricted purse money.

Pennsylvania’s increase in mares bred over 2018 occurred in spite of the state offering only $11.75 million to PA-breds, placing it 8th on the restricted-purse-money list. Indiana ranks 7th with $12.84 million, and Maryland is ranked 18th with only $800,000 in restricted purse offerings.

* “Foal crops are estimated based on the Report of Mares Bred, scheduled to be filed by Aug. 1 of each breeding season. Foal registration is to be completed within 12 months of the birth of the foal. However, late registration is available for an additional fee, making actual foal crop counts impractical before Dec. 31 of the crop's two-year-old year, the time by which the vast majority of the foal crop has been registered."

Promotion & Advertising Report

The Fund’s promotional budget encompasses advertising in a broad range of equine-centric media that includes radio, TV/cable, print and online social media. It also supports the promotion of interest among youth in the breeding and racing of Thoroughbreds via support for 4-H groups and scholarships provided to students enrolled in equine studies programs at New York State colleges and universities.

Additionally, the Fund spends promotional dollars with retirement, retraining and rehoming aftercare groups in New York State that have been approved by the Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (TAA). The TAA serves as an accrediting body for aftercare facilities that care for retired Thoroughbreds, raises funds for aftercare, and provides grants to qualifying aftercare facilities.

By spending promotional dollars with TAA-approved facilities here in New York State, the Fund not only helps ex-racehorses, it reaches individuals within each organization’s circle of influence. Significantly, we demonstrate that the New York Breeding and Development Fund recognizes that helping off-track Thoroughbreds is integral to the preservation and broadening of the sport.

According to TAA President John Phillips, “Those who participate in this sport at any level… must realize the public demands a good-faith effort to address post-race retraining, retirement or humane management as necessary for those horses left out of the current reintegration system or markets. We heed this , the sport grows; we ignore it, we become a relic.”

Aftercare Spending in 2019

In 2019, the Fund spent $110,500 with entities in New York that provided aftercare and re-training to off-track Thoroughbreds, educated the public about the importance of showing respect to Thoroughbreds throughout their lives, and/or encouraged young people to become interested in Thoroughbreds. In addition to the TAA- approved facilities specified below, the Fund sponsored educational programs conducted by Cornell Cooperative Extension and the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame.

The following are some of the TAA-approved facilities that received support from the Fund:

 ACTT Naturally/Longshadows Charitable Foundation  Akindale Thoroughbred Rescue Equine Advocates  Finger Lakes Thoroughbred Adoption Program  Lucky Orphans Sanctuary  Old Friends at Cabin Creek  ReRun Thoroughbred Adoption  New Vocations Racehorse Adoption/North Country Horses  Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation

The Fund’s largest spend, at $400,000 annually, is a “sole source” contract with the Saratoga Springs-based trade and membership group New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc., which represents breeders in New York State. The NYTB uses a significant portion of that money to host seasonal events tied to their members’ interests, such as their annual awards dinner, Fasig-Tipton cocktail party and pre-breeding-season holiday party. Additionally, it arranges educational seminars for breeders and others. The Fund supports these events by paying for tech support, food and videography.

84

NYTB also hosts a website (NYTBreeders.org) that compliments the Fund’s website (NYBreds.com). The NYTB promotional write-up can be found on pages 128 to 132 of this report.

The Fund recognizes that, in addition to mailing out award checks, it has a responsibility to keep those who have already invested in Thoroughbreds informed about equine health issues and any changes in rules affecting NY-breds. Therefore, we communicate as directly as possible by posting important information on our website and on the Fund’s official Facebook page (NYBreds), as well as by sending out e-mail messages and including information with the letters that accompany award checks.

Naturally, we also handle phone calls and e-mails on a daily basis, and the Executive Director meets directly with breeders at stallion shows and educational events.

Advertising Platforms in 2019

 Thoroughbred Daily News online  Blood-Horse magazine  Daily Racing Form, print and online  NYRA/Saratoga & Belmont Live broadcasts  HRRN/Horse Racing Radio Network  Saratoga Special Newspaper

Decisions on where to make promotional spends of up to $25,000 a year are made in concert with the Fund Board’s Ad Hoc Committee on Promotion, consisting of the following Fund Board members:

• William B. Wilmot, DVM, Committee Chair • Breeder member Philip Birsh • Breeder member Joseph McMahon • NYTB, Inc. Executive Director Jeff Cannizzo

It should be noted that all promotional spends above $25,000 are approved by the full Board of Directors. Those expenditures in 2019 were limited to:

 NYRA TV-Saratoga and Belmont “Live” broadcasts  Blood-Horse magazine, including print and online exposure  TDN/Thoroughbred Daily News, including print and online exposure

TV & Radio

The Fund ran television and radio ads voiced by famed race caller Tom Durkin during NYRA’s live broadcasts for the summer and fall meets.

HRRN, the Eclipse Award-winning broadcast organization based in Lexington, Kentucky, promoted NY-breds by airing commercials produced by the Fund, broadcasting NY-Bred Showcase Days and providing links to NYBreds.com on its website. Broadcasts are aired nationwide on Sirius XM Satellite radio, as well as on many traditional radio affiliates, and are streamed to a worldwide audience on www.horseracingradio.net.

Print & Online Ads

Promoting the purchase of NY-breds and NY stallion seasons, as well as recruiting boarders for New York farms, is unlike any other kind of advertising. People buy toothpaste and cars year-round, but stakeholders in the Thoroughbred industry change their focus depending on the time of year. They make decisions on which stallions to breed to late in the year or within the first few months of the next year. Potential buyers of NY-breds may want to purchase two-year olds that are close to starting, and therefore focus on spring juvenile sales. Other buyers prefer shopping the yearling sales each summer and fall in hopes of paying a lower price for a youngster that could develop into a star at a two-year-old-in training sale or become a standout on the racetrack.

The following are examples of the variety of ads produced by the Fund during 2019.

Scholarships

Since 2012, when the NY Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund established a scholarship program, we have provided 36 scholarships worth a total of $102,000 to students attending one of three New York State institutions that provide equine and agricultural studies: Cornell University, Morrisville State College and SUNY Cobleskill.

This spending is allowable under the statutes that established the Fund, as they direct us to encourage young people to become interested in the Thoroughbred breeding and racing industries in New York State and to promote their interest generally in agricultural pursuits.

The Fund asks the colleges to select scholarship students who have demonstrated through course selection, performance (grades/attitude) and extra-curricular activities such as jobs and internships that they have a sincere interest in pursuing a career in New York’s breeding or racing industries, or in the state’s agriculture sector.

In 2019, scholarships were awarded to the following students:

Cornell University: Lili Becktell and Benjamin Haar

Morrisville State College: Hannah Frederick and Amber Mooney

SUNY Cobleskill: Alyx Trulsen and Heidi Wenzel
