CHRB Meeting Advisory

The California Horse Racing Board(CHRB) meeting that was scheduled forMarch 21 has been cancelled. There willnot be a board meeting in March. TheCHRB meeting that was scheduled forApril 25 has been moved up to Thursday,April 11, and it will be held at Santa AnitaPark. Please visit us at http://www.chrb.ca.gov

Barretts was formed in 1989 and opened with its inaugural March Sale of selecttwo-year-olds in training the following year. The auction company plays host tosix sales annually, including the Paddock Sale at the Del Mar ThoroughbredClub, which this year will be July 21, and the recently added Winter Paddock Saleat Santa Anita Park, scheduled for December 28. Barretts’ first sale of 2013, theJanuary mixed sale, surpassed 2012 figures with gross sales up 56 percent andshowing across-the-board gains.

“This is a brand that resonates within the industry and strongly unites equinesales and horse racing under the Barretts umbrella,” said Kim Lloyd, general manager of Barretts Sales & Racing. “Barretts is well known and respected through-out the equine industry and this move shows our commitment to horse racing. Thenew name clearly represents our business and our dedication to excellence in equinesales and horse racing.”—From Barretts Barretts Equine Limited and Fairplex Park

Under the previous Rule 18, theCertificate of Foal Registration for ahorse sold without pedigree wasreturned to The Jockey Club andcancelled, and the horse was nolonger considered a Thoroughbredfor breeding or racing purposes.

Under the amended Rule 18, theowner of a Thoroughbred can requestthat The Jockey Club attach a specialnotation to the Certificate of FoalRegistration to indicate the horseshould no longer be considered aThorough-bred for racing purposes.Unlike the previous Sold WithoutPedigree, horses that are Retired fromRacing are still consideredThoroughbreds for breeding purposes.

“For myriad reasons, owners maynot want their Thoroughbred to raceagain, but they do want the horse’soffspring to be eligible for registrationwith The Jockey Club,” said MattIuliano, executive vice president andexecutive director, The Jockey Club.“We developed the Sold as Retiredfrom Racing rule with that in mind.”

To sell a horse as retired from rac-ing, the owner must send a signed andnotarized Sold as Retired from Racingform, a set of photographs of thehorse, and the horse’s Certificate ofFoal Registration to The Jockey Clubwithin 60 days of the sale. The JockeyClub will stamp the certificate“Retired from Racing” and forward it to the purchaser. A copy ofsuch stamped certificates will be made available at registry.jockey-club.com for interested industry stakeholders.

The rule change comes as welcome news to owners, horsemen,and organizations dedicated to aftercare.

“I recently tried to sell ahorse for breeding purposesonly, but the horse ended upback at the track,” saidThoroughbred owner EarleMack. “This new rule willhelp owners do what theybelieve is in the best interestsof their horses. We surely oweour horses that.”

“This is a valuable tool to protect the future of retired racehorses,” said Rick VioletteJr., president of the New YorkThoroughbred Horsemen’sAssociation. “It will simplifythe transfer process and giveowners the peace of mind ofknowing the horses they retirewill not race again.”

“This rule will greatlyenhance Thoroughbred after-care efforts,” said MikeZiegler, executive director,Thoroughbred AftercareAlliance. “Many owners andrescue organizations were hes-itant about sending pedigreepapers with a horse becausethey were worried the horsewould end up back on thetrack. Now, the papers cantravel with the Thoroughbredto its second career, making iteasier to identify and more

appealing to new owners.”The retired from racing rule is spelled out below and can be found

in the online Principal Rules and Requirements of The American StudBook at registry.jockeyclub.com.—From The Jockey Club Lexington,Kentucky.

The massive federal spending cuts that face almost everyU.S. government agency are set to begin Friday, March 1, 2013.These automatic across-the-board cuts, referred to as “seques-tration,” will total $1.2 trillion over 10 years. Of this total, $85billion in military and domestic discretionary spending reductions arescheduled for the remainder of the current fiscal year that endsSeptember 30.

Sequestration is the result of attempts by Congress and the Obama administration to gain control of the growth in national debt. It has been

scheduled to begin for more than a year but Congress and the Presidentdelayed the start until March 1 as part of the fiscal cliff negotiations thatended on New Year’s Day. What impact sequestration will have on theoverall U.S. economy and government services/programs is unclear and it

may take several months to become evident.The NTRA’s federal legislative team maintains a daily presence in

Washington, D.C. to closely monitor and act on those issues thatimpact horse racing. We will update the industry with relevant impactsof sequestration in this space. —From NTRA Washington, D.C

According to the American Horse Council (AHC), two bills have been introduced inCongress to ease the federal ban on betting on professional and amateursports. Federal legislators also areexpected to again consider legalizingonline poker, according to the AHC.

One sports gambling bill would amendthe Professional and Amateur SportsProtection Act to allow all states a four-year window to pass sports betting. The second bill would allow NewJersey to offer in-state sports betting.

New Jersey has been at the forefront ofinitiating sports betting. In 2011, NewJersey voters amended the state constitu-tion to allow sports betting at casinos andracetracks. The state legislature thenpassed a law allowing sports betting, butthe federal law still prohibited it. Thestate has filed a lawsuit in federal courtarguing that the current federal ban isunconstitutional.

According to the AHC, Congress-menFrank Pallone (D-NJ) and FrankLoBiondo (R-NJ) have introduced legislation in the House of Representatives to provide a pathfor New Jersey and possibly other states to offer sports betting.—continued at www.bloodhorse.com, ByFrank Angst

Online Gaming Signed IntoLaw In New Jersey

Gov. Chris Christie February 26 signed legisla-tion legalizing Internet gambling through theAtlantic City casinos. The state legislature passedthe bill just a few hours earlier.

The law includes changes sought by Christie,including a 10-year trial period for online gamingand a tax of 15 percent rather than 10 percent.There are no provisions in the law for horse racingin New Jersey to benefit from online gaming.

New Jersey became the third state in thenation to legalize gambling on the Internet. Thelawmakers' votes and Christie's signature marked the largest expansion of legalized gam-bling in New Jersey since the first casino beganoperating in Atlantic City in 1978.—continued atwww.bloodhorse.com, By The Associated Press

Ontario Breeding Industry Hit Hard By Loss Of Slots Revenue

It was not long ago that Glenn Sikura’s Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms in Aurora, Ontario was bursting atthe seams with mares and foals in the midst of a hectic breeding season.

That scenario is pretty much gone this spring as Ontario’s Thoroughbred breeding industrystruggles to stay alive because of a radical decision announced a year ago by the Ontario govern-ment, under now-retired Premier Dalton McGuinty, and the Ontario Lottery and GamingCorporation.

As of March 31, the 20 percent of slot machine revenues allocated to the province’s 17 race-tracks that housed Ontario’s slot machines will come to an end, 12 years after the partnershipbegan. While the province’s share totaled about $1 billion per year, the provincial debt and theOLG’s new gaming strategy, including the planned introduction of a new casino in downtownToronto, led to the decision to end the Slots at Racetracks program, which was met withincredulity by everyone in racing.

The decision to abruptly end the slot revenue means that some $345 million per year is lost tothose tracks and, in turn, to breeders and owners.—continued at www.DRF.com, By Matt Hegarty

Horsemen Warned Of Federal

Drug Legislation

Horsemen expect members ofCongress to make another attempt atwinning support for legislation thatwould regulate medication use in race-horses by banning all race-day adminis-tration.

Brian Fitzgerald, a lobbyist for theNational Horsemen's Benevolent andProtective Association, said Feb. 21 thatRepublican Rep. Ed Whitfield ofKentucky and Democratic Sen. TomUdall of New Mexico are expected tointroduce another bill this year. Thelawmakers in previous years have beenunable to move the bill forward.

“There is enough noise in the back-ground suggesting our opponents are upto something,” said Fitzgerald, who iswith American Continental Group,during the National HBPA winter con-vention in Clearwater, Fla. “We believethey will try to raise the stakes by put-ting pressure on us (on the race-daymedication issue) by opening up theInterstate Horseracing Act.”—continued atwww.bloodhorse.com, By Tom LaMarra,
