MCCAFFREY: HORSEMEN, TRACKS HAVE MUTUAL NEEDBy Alastair Bull

The new executive director of the Illinois Thor-

oughbred Horsemen's Association, David McCaf-

frey, says horsemen and tracks must negotiate while

realizing how important they are to each other.

Illinois racetracks and the ITHA have been at odds

over a number of issues, as they deal with problems

including falling purses, a state budget deadlock, and

a lack of slot machine income.

Against this backdrop the ITHA has appointed

McCaffrey, a horseman involved with the Illinois Har-

ness Horsemen's Association for many years.

"Call me crazy, but I happen to think racetracks

and horsemen need

each other," he said.

"We need each other

to satisfy each other's

businesses."

He said the ITHA

should look at trying

to limit "recapture,"

a regulation allowing

tracks to compensate

for revenue losses by

appropriating funds

allocated to purse

accounts.

"The harness

side is on the brink

of absolute collapse

because of recapture,

and the Thoroughbred side is not too far behind."

McCaffrey says Illinois purses have been on a

downward spiral the past decade and the industry

badly needs legislation authorizing slot machines at

tracks. BH

RISEN STAR HAS MO-MENTUMBy Evan Hammonds

Racegoers may be used to seeing sons of Galileo

routinely flood the starting gate in Irish stakes

races, but there's a rarity Saturday at Fair Grounds

Race Course & Slots when four—count 'em four—

3-year-old sons of Uncle Mo are entered in the

Risen Star (gr. II).

In addition, Shaken, an Uncle Mo filly, is set to

break from the rail in the female counterpart, the

grade II Rachel Alexandra.

Uncle Mo, Ashford Stud's runaway leading first-

crop and juvenile sire of 2015, has seven stakes

winners in his first crop, including male champion

Nyquist and Risen Star 3-1 morning-line second

choice Mo Tom.

Free of Mr. Prospector, Uncle Mo has Northern

Dancer 5x5x4 through five generations, so it is no

surprise to see Mr. P in four of the five pedigrees

of his Fair Grounds stakes starters.

Both Mo Tom and Uncle Walter have Caro in

their female families, mirroring Uncle Mo's great-

great-grandsire. Shaken and stakes-winning Risen

Star runner Forevamo have Seattle Slew close up

in their female families. BH

BUENA VISTA PRODUCES TOP BROODMARESBy Tom Hall

Few races have produced as many high-class brood-

mares among its winners than the Buena Vista

Stakes (gr. IIT) at Santa Anita Park Feb. 20—and few

were better than 2004 winner Fun House.

The 5-year-old was best of a seven-horse field,

winning by 2 3/4 lengths under Gary Stevens.

Bred by Verne H. Winchell in Kentucky and owned

by Winchell Thoroughbreds, Fun House is a daughter

of Prized out of Bistra, a Winchell-bred mare by their

homebred Classic Go Go and out of their foundation

mare Carols Christmas.

As a broodmare, Fun House is carrying on Car-

ols Christmas' blue-hen tradition with two grade

I-winning millionaires from five foals to race: Paddy

O'Prado (El Prado) with $1,721,297, and champion

3-year-old filly Untapable (Tapit) $3,816,725.

In addition to Fun House, winners of the Buena

Vista, first run in 1988, historically have done well as

broodmares.

Of 20 winners to have foals of racing age, 10 have

produced first-generation stakes horses, including

Gold Fleece, Dance Parade, Blue Moon, Skimble,

Media Nox, and Jibboom, all with graded stakes-win-

ning offspring. The last three named are Juddmonte

Farms homebreds. BH

OAKLAWN SEES BENEFITS OF GOOD WEATHERBy Blood-Horse Staff

Owners racing horses at Oaklawn Park are set to

reap the benefit of a great meet for the Arkansas

track.

Good weather and large fields boosted betting at

Oaklawn Park to a level where the track has raised

purses for the remainder of its 2016 meet.

Three stakes get $50,000 boosts: The Honeybee

Stakes (gr. III) will go to $200,000 while the Razor-

back (gr. III) and Azeri (gr. II), both on the March 19

Rebel Stakes (gr. II) undercard, have been raised to

$350,000.

The Rebel card will be worth nearly $2 million,

making it the second-richest day for Oaklawn behind

Arkansas Derby day, April 16.

Allowance races have been increased to a mini-

mum of $74,000, and maiden allowances to $70,000.

The minimum purse is $21,500.

The $70,000 maiden allowance purse compares

favorably nationally. Open maiden special weight rac-

es at present have purses up to $60,000 at Aqueduct

Racetrack, $56,000 at Santa Anita Park, and $50,000

at Gulfstream Park.

"From day one Oaklawn has benefitted from great

weather, and, more importantly, the quality of our

races has been tremendous, with a lot of full fields,"

said director of racing David Longinotti. BH

ANOTHER EL PRADO MAKES AUSTRALIAN MARKBy Tara Madgwick

STATUS QUO NOT OPTION IN FLORIDA?

It took more than 90 minutes of a two-hour

Florida senate committee meeting for the

pari-mutuel racing industry to get this message:

Change is coming, and it's on you to make the

most of it.

The Florida Senate Regulated Industries Com-

mittee passed two major pieces of legislation

Feb. 17—one that authorizes the state to enter

into a $3 billion compact with the Seminole

tribe, which operates seven casinos in the state,

and another that could change the racing land-

scape by allowing most tracks to decide whether

to offer live racing.

The tracks

permitted to "de-

couple" under the

bill are those that

offer greyhound,

Standardbred, and

Quarter Horse

racing, as well as jai

alai frontons. Sen.

Joe Negron noted a

"summer Thorough-

bred permit" also

would be decou-

pled, later acknowl-

edging reference to

the Calder license; owner Churchill Downs Inc.

has been leasing its minimum number of 40

days to Gulfstream Park for the past two years.

Negron said there are provisions in an

amendment—it passed the committee—for the

Seminoles to supplement purses by $20 million

a year, as well as for $25 million a year for a

"purse pool" funded by revenue from decoupled

pari-mutuel facilities.

United Florida Horsemen has opposed any

form of decoupling. Florida lawmakers, howev-

er, appear headed in another direction.

"We have generous purse pools that frankly

are coming from people involved in another

activity," Negron said during the committee

meeting. "We're taking money from them to

subsidize people that want to race and raise

horses. We've bent over backward to accommo-

date their interests."

Negron said current pari-mutuel law is

"outdated and arbitrary," and that businesses

should be allowed to decide how they operate.

If they want to offer live racing even though de-

coupling is permitted, they can, he said.

"There's nothing in this bill that stops grey-

hound racing from continuing," Negron said.

"Some folks in greyhound racing, despite decou-

pling, are going to continue racing."

Palm Beach

Kennel Club, which

at times has total

pari-mutuel handle of

$600,000 on a Mon-

day afternoon pro-

gram of dog racing,

could be one track

opting to continue.

And under the bill, it's

one of several facil-

ities allowed to add

slot machines.

It's pretty safe

that Gulfstream

Park and Tampa Bay

Downs have every intention of continuing their

regular Thoroughbred meets. But an uneasi-

ness—particularly in the racing and breeding

sector—remains over the proposed changes in

law. It appears they may just have to accept it;

some already have.

"We recognize and appreciate the efforts

of the amendment to promote live racing and

support its purse structure," Tom Ventura, pres-

ident of the Ocala Breeders' Sales Co., told the

committee. "We support full year-round racing

for our horses and the people involved with the

horses." BH
