The statistics contained in these rankings are compiled by The Jockey Club Information Systems Inc. (TJCIS). While every effort is made to prevent errors and omissions, California Thoroughbred cannot guarantee their complete and totalaccuracy. A dagger (†) indicates that a stallion has been pensioned, an asterisk (*) that he has died, a dot (•) that he is now standing elsewhere, a number sign (#) that he did not stand in California in 2010 but is standing in the state in 2011,a double dagger (‡) that he is not standing in California in 2011 but will stand in the state in 2012 and in bold that he is a freshman sire. In all cases, a sire will remain in the rankings until the year after his last California foals are two-year-olds.

Fans And Horsemen Join For Cancer WalkFans, horsemen, jockeys, track employees, and members of the

media gathered following the final race of the Santa Anita meet April 17, to walk on the track and raise funds to battle cancer. BoDerek, Julie Krone, Jill Baffert, Carla Gaines and Chantal Sutherlandled the event, organized by Santa Anita. Track officials estimated thatit raised about $100,000 for the Women’s Cancer Program of the Cityof Hope.

“I hope we can kick cancer’s butt,” said Sutherland before about 2,000people left Santa Anita’s walking ring, headed for the tunnel, and beganwalking on the racetrack. Cancer survivors joined people who werewalking for other family members and friends afflicted with cancer.

Jill Baffert said that she and her husband, trainer Bob Baffert,joined in for a very personal reason.

“Bob’s mom is battling ovarian cancer,” said Jill as she fought back tears.

Many wore special purple T-shirts commemorating the event,titled On Track to Beat Cancer. A $20 donation included admissionto the track for the day, the T-shirt, and the walk.

Santa Anita positioned the starting gate at the eighth pole, andparticipants traveled down to it and back to the winner’s circle.Several jockeys, including Sutherland, Rafael Bejarano, Joel Rosarioand Joe Talamo, posed in the starting gate hold holding signs before

the starting gate was sprung. Fans were able to pose in the gate as wellas with the jockeys.

John and Dottie Shirreffs of Team Zenyatta eagerly participated,John with camera in hand photographing the entire event. Zenyattasigns abounded, and her name drew the biggest cheer when emceePeter Lurie of HRTV listed many of the great horses who have gal-loped over the same stretch.

Derek posed for photos with several fans, and Bob Baffert was seenoperating a fan’s camera to get a photograph of the fan with Derek.

“I’m so glad to be invited to be a part of this,” said Derek.Officials of several racing organizations participated, including

Santa Anita president George Haines, Oak Tree Racing AssociationExecutive Vice President Sherwood Chillingworth, and an entiregroup from the California Retirement Management Account(CARMA), wrangled by CARMA co-founder Madeline Auerbach.

Rosie Ybarra, who runs the kitchen at Clocker’s Corner in themornings, raised funds every morning, making sure that everyone whobought coffee also bought a T-shirt.

“My goal next year is to raise $5,000,” Ybarra said before setting offdown the track herself.—www.bloodhorse.com, by Tracy Gantz.

International Drug Summit Said To Be PlannedIndustry organizations including the National Thoroughbred Racing

Association will propose an international summit on equine medicationthis year in the wake of conflict over calls for the race-day ban of anti-bleeding drugs such as Salix.

A release is scheduled to be issued sometime April 20,sources said. It developed from the April 19 meeting of theRacing Medication and Testing Consortium in Dallas, Texas.

The RMTC, a group of about 25 industry stakeholders, hasn’t issued a state-ment or release on the Texas meeting, though it was said to be contentious.Major industry groups have come out in support of a proposal by theAssociation of Racing Commissioners International to phase out race-day

medication—Salix and related adjunct anti-bleeding drugs—infive years, but major horsemen’s groups in particular opposesuch a move and have called for further study.

The National Horsemen’s Benevolent and ProtectiveAssociation said it will use its summer convention in late July tohold a forum on race-day medication.

The NTRA has not commented yet on its April 18 board meet-ing. Racetracks have been silent on the possibility of banning Salix and adjunctbleeder medications on race day.—www.bloodhorse.com, Tom LaMarra

Hollywood Park Plans 50-cent Pick Five With Reduced TakeoutHollywood Park will introduce a 50-cent pick five with a 14 percent takeout on Thursday’s

opening day of the track’s spring-summer meeting.The new bet will be conducted daily, starting with the first race, and will feature a carry-

over provision in the event there are no winning tickets. The $2 pick six will continue to beoffered on the final six races of each program. There will be 50-cent pick four bets on the sec-ond through fifth races and the final four races.

The 50-cent pick five will have the lowest takeout of any bet offered, compared with 15.43percent for win, place, and show bets, 22.68 percent for two-horse exotics, and 23.68 per-cent for exotics with three or more horses, such as the pick three, trifectas, and superfectas.

In 2010, legislation was passed increasing the takeout on exotic bets by two or three percent to fund overnight purses. The increased takeout took effect on January 1, and wasmet by protest from some bettors who reacted angrily, stating they would boycott betting onCalifornia as a result of the hike.

Track president Jack Liebau is hopeful that the lower takeout of the new 50-cent pick five

will draw renewed interest from bettors in California racing, and could lead to increased han-dle on other races.

“With a 50-cent minimum it may get people to play the bet and maybe bet some of thelegs individually,” he said. “California has taken a lot of flack for increasing the takeout of theexotics. I thought that was unfair. Our takeout is lower than in most states.”

Gulfstream Park in Florida, for example, has a takeout of 20 percent for daily double,exacta, pick three, and pick four bets, but a 26 percent takeout for trifectas and superfectas.Woodbine has a takeout of 20.5 percent for exactas and daily doubles, 25 percent for trifec-ta and pick four bets, and 26.3 percent for pick three and superfectas. Oaklawn Park has atakeout of 21 percent for all exotics.

Hollywood Park will have a a four-day racing week for most of the meeting, which runsthrough July 17, on a Thursday-through-Sunday basis.

Weekly Update

Dr. John Woolsey was born in San Francisco in 1923. The sonof a surgeon by the same name, he and his sister, Jane Cassady, grew up “making mud pies” in Golden Gate Park.There was no Golden Gate Bridge in those days, so it was aninteresting trip to their summer house in Benbow. The Woolseyfamily moved from San Francisco to Woodland when “Jack” was10. During those formative teen years, he spent time working as awrangler at the foot of Mt. Lassen for the Feather River MeadowsBoys Camp. Great stories ensued.

In 1941, Jack enrolled in pre-med at Cal Berkeley. The warinterrupted his education and he entered the Air Corps. Hebecame a navigator on a B-24 and flew 35 missions over Germany.During his keynote speech at the 2008 Harris Ranch Seminar, hejoked about dropping bombs on his very good friend Joe Daehling.

After the war, he entered veterinary school at Kansas State asthe one at UC Davis did not yet exist. One of his classmates wasJohn Hughes from Madera, who went on to found and head theCenter for Equine Health at Davis. After getting his vet degree,Jack went on to teach at the newly opened vet school at Davis forthree years. Eventually he built, opened and operated a state ofthe art equine hospital named Empire Equine Hospital inWindsor.

In the early 1960s, he became interested in working dogs andmore specifically, Australian Cattle Dogs: Queensland Blue Healersand Australian Working Kelpies. This is where I join the story. Iwas attending Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, majoring in AnimalHusbandry/Microbiolgy. We were using the black and white BorderCollies to work our sheep herds and Australian Shepherds (“bluedogs”) to help with the cattle. In those days everyone owned apickup truck, a gun rack in the back window, a rifle, a coiled ropeand a blue dog in the back! We heard a veterinarian “up north”named Jack Woolsey was importing Queensland heelers fromAustralia. These were supposed to be neat, short-haired dogs witha cross to the “Dingo,” the wild dog of Australia. They were aggres-sive, tireless and tenacious, which made them perfect for cow workin the brushy hills. The name Dr. Woolsey was very famous at CalPoly!

About the same time, Jack found interest and began investing in Thoroughbred racehorses. There are many articles outlining his “eye” for a good horse and great ability toput together fun racing and breeding partnerships with his longtime friends. The story of Grenzen was typical of his ventures. He bought her for $11,000 in 1976, and she went on to

win almost $350,000. Years after he sold her to retired jockey andIrish breeder, Walter Haefner, the owner of Moyglare Stud inIreland, we attended a TOBA (Thoroughbred Owners andBreeders Association) tour of Ireland. Jack and Linda were treatedlike royalty during their visit to Moyglare. Stan Cosgrove, the vet-erinarian and manager of that farm, referred to Grenzen as one oftheir greatest foundation mares. It was euphoric to stand out inone of the lush Irish pastures, bordered by green trees, feeding car-rots to many of the world’s top winning and producing mares withtheir fine crop of foals.

It was always enjoyable for me to visit or “hang out” with Jack.At the sales he would share what he saw in a yearling. He was inter-ested in the various modes used for evaluating young stock. Hismedical mind would join theories with practical outcomes. He wasvery interested in the use of measuring bones and calculating anglesas a way to predict racing success. And when he added his judg-ment of the innate athleticism, he was quite successful.

One year, Jack was asked to inspect the yearlings nominated tothe select Del Mar Yearling Sale. I was able to join him for severalvisits to farms in the southern part of the state. He was takingvideos of each yearling, hoping to compare them to their eventualrace record.

As I became more involved with the California Thoroughbred Breeders Association (CTBA) and started organ-izing the education events up and down the state, Jack nevermissed an event. He came to the first San Luis Rey DownsSeminar, he sat in the front row at the very first CTBA farm sem-inar, and at Bay Meadows Racecourse he was also in the front rowwhen Henry Murphy talked about and demonstrated how the per-sonal computer and Internet were going to contribute to our wayof doing business in the future. I can remember the discussionending by everyone wondering if the Internet would eventuallyreplace print advertising in our world!

Jack Woolsey fought hard to stop and was very upset by the clos-ing of year-round training at the Santa Rosa Fairgrounds. At SantaRosa, he was able to be very involved by using the Maryland ShinProgram to get his youngsters through the “bucked shin” stress oftraining. He knew this training was best done on a mile track andcould not be done at the racing tracks. He clearly understood thatclosing local facilities to year-round training would eventuallyaffect the very foundation of our racing industry.

Jack was my friend. He added a positive, upbeat element to somany people’s lives.—www.ctba.com, by Leigh Ann Howard.

Weekly Update

Veteran trainer Lou Carno passed away at 5 a.m. Friday at the age of 90,according to his wife of 23 years, Kathy. Known on the backstretches of Chicagoand California as “The Silver Fox,” Carno was seldom without his trademarkcigar and biting wit.

Carno was best known as the trainer of Victory Beauty, a hard-hitting geldingwho won 41 races, including multiple stakes events for Carno. Purchased for just$3,500, Victory Beauty won races at Bay Meadows Racecourse, Golden GateFields, Tanforan and every major racetrack in Southern California.

At age eight, in 1964, Victory Beauty won the Escondido Handicap at theDel Mar Thoroughbred Club and a minor stakes south of the border, the AguaCaliente Gold Cup, which prompted Carno to note, “He’s now won at everyracetrack he’s ever run at.”

Victory Beauty would make history in 1969, when at 13, he became the oldesthorse to win at Santa Anita Park. He retired the following year with earnings of$223,716. Carno also garnered considerable acclaim as the trainer of multiplestakes winning Caterman (NZ), who was disqualified from victory in the 1981Hollywood Gold Cup (grade I). Regarded as a consummate horseman, Carnowas held in the highest regard by those who rode for him.

“He was a great guy to ride for,” said retired Hall of Fame jockey EddieDelahoussaye. “He was a lot of fun to be around and he was one of the real char-acters back in the day. He came from the old school. If a horse needed time offto heal, he got it. Lou enjoyed racing and he didn’t want to quit. He’ll be missed.”

Carno, who turned 90 on March 29, retired from training four years ago.“He never stopped loving his horses,” said Kathy Carno. “They were a very

important part of his life and when he left the track it was the hardest thing heever did. The reason he retired was that he was having so much trouble withhis legs and the medication he was taking was affecting him mentally. Whenwe got him off of the medication, he was 100 percent mentally again and wasperfectly normal.

“He was in an assisted living facility in Monrovia the past two years becausehe was immobile and had to be in a wheelchair. He was at peace with everythingand he died with a smile on his face.”

Funeral services will be held Monday, April 25, at Douglas & Zook Mortuary, 600E. Foothill Blvd., Monrovia. Carno is survived by his wife, Kathy and childrenRobert, Sharon and Michael, as well as step children Jason and Jeremy. There willbe a viewing at 3 p.m. and a memorial service at 4 p.m., with a reception to follow.

Lou Carno Passes At 90

John Shear, Santa Anita Park’s 90-year-old paddock guard who was gravely injured while protecting a six-year-old girl from a runaway horse last month, was released from HuntingtonMemorial Hospital April 16.

Shear, whose wife Diane celebrated her 68th birthday on the day of his hospital release, wastransferred to his home in Sierra Madre to continue his recuperation.

He was interviewed by the local NBC affiliate television channel a day before his release, saying “I can’t wait to return to work at Santa Anita.”

Shear was injured when a loose three-year-old horse charged toward panicked members ofthe crowd at the track walking ring prior to the third race March 12. He shielded a little girl standing next to him from the onrushing horse and pushed her out of harm’s way. But the horsehit him on his side. He sustained a fractured pelvis and other severe injuries. Paramedics said helost so much blood they didn’t think he would survive.

Shear will continue physical therapy and plans to play poker in Las Vegas while he recuperates.

“My dad wishes to thank you all for your prayers, generosity, and well wishes,” said his son,Michael Shear. “It has been a tremendous strength to him over these past difficult weeks.

“His doctors are amazed at the progress he’s made. He was badly injured and he was in very,very bad shape the first few days following the accident. He lost quite a bit of blood internally andhis blood pressure got very low. My dad has always prided himself on eating well and stayingphysically fit and there’s no doubt this has helped him immensely.”

Shear, a former rider, has been employed seasonally at Santa Anita since December 23, 1961.He was in his customary position, holding a perimeter rope on the east end of the track’s

walking ring. As the field of 10 horses were readying for the upcoming race, Sea and Sage freedhimself from his handler and in a 180 degree about-face, the gelding sprinted toward the opening Shear was guarding.

As seen on live television, Shear threw himself in front of the young girl, in an act of selflessheroism that could well have saved her life. She was uninjured.

“By any accounting, John Shear is a hero,” said Santa Anita President George Haines. “He isan amazing human being and we are elated that he is going to be going home much sooner thanwas originally thought. Through all of these years, John has been a great employee, a man thathis peers looked up to."

The New Jersey Department of Agriculture (NJDA) has quaran-tined a second Colts Neck horse farm as part of its investigation into anoutbreak of the neurologic form of equine herpesvirus (EHV-1), thathas led to the death of one horse and sickened five others.

The disease was discovered by a private veterinarian treating a sickhorse at Overbrook Farm in Colts Neck, New Jersey. The veterinarianeuthanized the filly on April 13 after she failed to respond to treatment.The five other affected horses are responding to treatment and recover-ing from their illnesses.

The NJDA's tracing activities at the farm to determine the extent ofthe outbreak led to today's quarantine of Tourelay Farm, also in ColtsNeck. No confirmed cases of EHV-1 have been reported at TourelayFarm at this time.

The index farm, Overbrook Farm, was quarantined late last week.Under this quarantine farm personnel must utilize biosecurity measures,such as disinfectant foot baths, coveralls, disposable gloves, hand wash-ing and disinfectant hand gels, and non-sharing of tack between hors-es. The quarantine is expected to last 21 days, unless more horsesbecome ill. All quarantines are based on risk assessment.

The NJDA has been in contact with Colts Neck Township officials tokeep them informed of the efforts to contain the virus and protect animals.

EHV-1 spreads quickly from horse to horse, has a high morbidity, andcan cause a wide range of symptoms, from a complete lack of clinicalsigns to respiratory problems, especially in young horses, and sponta-neous abortions in pregnant mares. The neurologic form of EHV-1 cancause an acute paralytic syndrome, which results in a high mortality.The incubation period of EHV-1 is typically two to 10 days. The virusspreads readily through direct contact with infected materials.

The virus does not affect humans and other domestic animals withthe exception of llamas and alpacas.

Concerned owners should consult their veterinarian prior to takingany action as the clinical signs of infection with the neurologic form ofEHV-1 are common to many other diseases.

The neurologic form of EHV is a reportable disease in New Jersey. If an owner has a horse that is exhibiting neurologic signs or suspectsEHV-1, they are directed to call their veterinarian immediately.—www.TheHorse.com

Old Friends, one of the most well-known and supported Thoroughbred retirement facilities in the country, has fallen onfinancial woes due to a clerical error by its bank. In order to retain its current status and continue supporting the horses atits facility, the farm must raise $300,000 by the end of April.

Luckily, there is a silver lining in the situation. According to founder/owner Michael Blowen, who sent a newsletter to allOld Friends supporters about the money troubles April 13, the facility has raised more than $50,000 in the last 24 hours.

“These people are unbelievable…it’s an amazing thing; I’m just a conduit here,” Blowen told The Blood-Horse April 14.Since sending out the newsletter, Blowen has garnered donations from several Thoroughbred owners totaling as much as$10,000 each, as well as numerous $5 and $10 donations from fans. “We’ve gotten over 350 emails already," hesaid. "People write nice things; they’re very complimentary of Old Friends, and they are coming up with all kinds of amaz-ing fundraising ideas. I’m very optimistic now; I think we’ll be able to work out an equitable solution out with the bank.”

Blowen explained how about three years ago, he requested that his bank rewrite the mortgage for Old Friends so itwould have its payments due bi-annually. “They concurred and re-wrote the loan,” said Blowen in the newsletter. “We con-tinued to make payments on time through our bookkeeper.

“A couple of months ago, I was visited by two bank representatives and their attorney. They explained the bank had madea clerical error. While they had re-written the loan, they had failed to increase the payments. Consequently, the bi-annual pay-ments we made were the same monthly payments and we were in arrears for more than $200,000. And, because the bank isunder pressure from Federal regulators, they couldn't do anything until the account was brought up to date. As you might imag-ine, this was quite a surprise.”

Blowen explained that in a section of Old Friends’ mortgage, it states that if the bank makes an error, as long as it isn’tmalicious, the lender is responsible for the consequences.

“You never want to go public with something like this, but we’ve always been transparent,” said Blowen. “What doescentral Kentucky look like without these stunning Thoroughbreds? Old Friends not only cares for these deserving retirees;we are a significant boost to the local economy. We are desperately trying to prove that they can generate income once theirracing and breeding careers are over. And, we're on the cusp of proving they can.

"I would not be begging anyone for anything except for these spectacular creatures outside my window. They deservebetter than what I've been able to provide.”

Blowen said if Old Friends raises a sufficient amount of money this month, by the end of May it should be in better finan-cial shape. The Georgetown, Ky., facility will benefit from the Ferdinand Ball at the Frazier Museum in Louisville May 5, whichbasketball players John Wall and Demarcus Cousins are expected to attend. It will also host the Old Friends Homecomingparty May 7, and expects to receive $50,000 grant later this year from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty toAnimals (ASPCA), a distribution through Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA), as well as a significant contribution fromthe late trainer Bobby Frankel’s trust.

“The future looks bright. It's the present that's problematic, said Blowen of the farm, which attracts more than 20,000visitors a year and is home to numerous greats, including pensioned stallions Marquetry and Gulch; graded stakes winnersOgygian, Sunshine Forever, Awad, Creator, and Clever Allemont; and Canadian champions Thornfield and Benburb.
