(Originally published in the May 14, 2011 issue of The Blood-Horsemagazine/www.bloodhorse.com.)

Hollywood screenwriters could not have scripted a better storyfor racing partnerships than what unfolded on Oaks and Derby daysat Churchill Downs.

Stables offering a more affordable avenue to Thoroughbred ownership by selling shares found themselves in the winner’s circlefollowing the Kentucky Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (grade I),the Kentucky Oaks (grade I), and the grade II Churchill DownsStakes on the Derby undercard.

Barry Irwin’s Team Valor International won the Kentucky Derbywith Animal Kingdom, John Fort’s Peachtree Stable won the KentuckyOaks with Plum Pretty, and Cot Campbell’s Dogwood Stable—the old-est of the syndicates—took the Churchill Downs Stakes with Aikenite,who won his second consecutive grade II race this year.

Fort happens to be the sole owner of Plum Pretty but continuesto maintain a limited number of partnerships with long-time clients.It was only through partnerships that Peachtree Stable got startedmore than 30 years ago.

“I didn’t have any money, and I needed partners to raise the cap-ital,” Fort said. “From having played polo for years, I knew abouthorses, but I wanted to own racehorses and feel that thrill. GeneralMotors can sell stock, but all I could sell was the skills and theknowledge about horses that the general public didn’t have.”

Over the years Peachtree partners have enjoyed thrills from grad-ed stakes winners such as Red Giant, Flashpoint, Coin Silver,Mythical Power, and Chimichurri. As much as Fort already knewabout horses, he said he learned even more about the sport ofThoroughbred racing from his partners.

“The people who invested with me wanted to get close to horseracing, and it made me realize the intense connection that stillexists,” he said. “These connections reach back to people’s roots.”

Following previous stakes victories, Fort often received lettersfrom fans recalling family stories from the Old West, of horses onfamily farms, or of early days at the track with grandparents.

“Those 165,000 people at the Derby have an interest in horseracing,” he said.

Irwin used the bully pulpit that is the winner’s press conference

following the Derby to remind everyone of the important role part-nerships play today in getting people engaged with Thoroughbredracing. He also used it as a platform to take a jab at the racetracks.

“I hope these racetracks pay attention to the partnerships andtreat us a little better than they have been treating us,” Irwin said.When asked later to elaborate, he said Churchill Downs had provid-ed good seats for some of the 20 partners that own a share in AnimalKingdom but also provided some outrageously bad ones.

The size of syndicates and partnerships can vary significantlyamong companies. Dogwood Stable limits its partnerships to fourper horse. Easily imagined is the logistical nightmare created forChurchill Downs by 20 partners with Derby Fever looking for tick-ets for their family and friends. Still, the major attraction of owninga racehorse is the excitement of watching it run and sharing theexperience with friends after a win.

“I understand the need for revenue and to make shareholdershappy,” said Irwin. “But (Churchill Downs) needs a little humanityto make sure the people putting on the show can share in it.”

Even though Fort has reduced his involvement in partnerships,he said they continue to provide the best vehicle for growth inThoroughbred racing.

“People think we live in a celluloid world of imagery and virtualrealities,” he said. “But my experience is that people want to reachback to something that is real and tangible. In that way, partnershipsare great for racing.”—www.bloodhorse.com, By Eric Mitchell

Frankel-philiaAlso felt during Derby week was a strong vibe emanating from the

still-influential career of the late Bobby Frankel. The Hall of Famer, who diedin 2009, trained both Leroidesanimaux and Medaglia d’Oro, the sires of theDerby and Oaks winners, respectively. Frankel took over the training ofLeroidesanimaux when the Brazilian-bred colt arrived in the United States in2004. He won six graded stakes for owner Stud TNT, including grade I victories in the Atto Mile Stakes, Citation Handicap, and the Frank E. KilroeMile Handicap. The colt also finished second in the NetJets Breeders’ CupMile (grade IT) at Belmont Park. Medaglia d’Oro won seven graded stakesfor Frankel and owner Edmund Gann, including the Travers Stakes (grade I),Whitney Handicap (grade I), and Donn Handicap (grade I). Beyond theDerby, Frankel’s namesake—an undefeated Juddmonte Farms homebred by Galileo—is the most talented 3-year-old racing in Europe and maybe anywhere. The legend lives on.—http://www.bloodhorse.com

Your equine athlete’s performance hasn’t been blue ribbon-worthy asof late. Or maybe your broodmare’s gaits are looking a little off kilter.Could long toes on the hind feet be to blame? According to the resultsof a recent study, the answer in some cases is yes and sometimes thesolution can be very simple.

“The hind limb stance in (horses with long toes) is one in which theload-bearing surface of the hoof appears to be too far forward in relationto the coronary band and to the fetlock and cannon bone,” said Richard A. Mansmann, VMD, PhD, hon. Dipl. ACVIM, professoremeritus at North Carolina State University’s College of VeterinaryMedicine, where this study was completed, and owner of the EquinePodiatry and Rehabilitation Practice in Chapel Hill. “These horsestend to ‘stand under themselves’ with their hind feet, meaning that atrest the foot is placed further forward than normal in relation to the vertical axis of the limb and the main mass of the hind quarter, givingthe horse a sickle-hocked appearance.”

Armed with that information, the research team set out to determine if long toes could be a cause of gluteal (the muscles that runalong the back of a horse’s hindquarters on either side of the tail) painin horses, and if corrective trimming and/or shoeing could correct theproblem and eliminate the pain.

A radiograph illustrating breakover distance (the horizontal distancebetween the red arrow and red line).

Mansmann noted that the term “long toe” is too subjective to usein a research study because of varying opinions on exactly what constitutes long. Thus, the team determined the hooves’ breakoverdistance as an objective measure in the study. They did this by meas-uring the horizontal distance between the tip of the horse’s coffin boneand the dorsal-most point at which the hoof wall or shoe came in contact with the ground, as seen on lateral radiographs. He added thatfor the average-sized horse, the ideal breakover distance is likelybetween 2000 and 20 mm.

The researchers evaluated 77 client-owned horses that were eitherexamined by a team member in the field or were presented to the privatepractice from April 2006 to December 2007. The horses were either low-to medium- level performance horses or nonpregnant broodmares of var-ious breeds, ranging in age from four to 24 years old. All of the horses hadat least one set of lateral radiographs taken of their hind feet and on thesame day Mansmann palpated their gluteal muscles.

The team split the horses into two groups: 67 shod horses and 10barefoot horses.

In the group of shod horses, 50 out of 67 tested positive for pain (i.e.,displayed an exaggerated response to palpation that consisted of one ormore of the following: buckling of the hind limbs, pinning the earsback, threatening to kick the examiner, or kicking at the examiner) and17 horses tested negative (did not react to palpation).

The average breakover distance for horses that displayed a positiveresponse to palpation was 24.2 mm, while the average breakover dis-

tance for negative horses was 18.8 mm. The researchers noted that“although small, the difference in mean breakover distance betweenpositive and negative horses was statistically significant.”

In the group of barefoot nonpregnant broodmares (all housed in thesame environment and not being ridden) all 10 displayed positive reac-tions to palpation. The average breakover distance for this group ofhorses was 25.6 mm.

To evaluate whether corrective trimming or shoeing could resolvethe gluteal pain, the team reduced the breakover distance in all thepainful horses’ hind limbs and reevaluated the animals:

Only 24 shod horses (of the 50 that had been found painful) wereavailable for a follow-up evaluation four to six weeks after correctivetrimming or shoeing; however, all of those horses showed reducedgluteal pain. Twenty of the horses were negative for a reaction to palpa-tion and the remaining four were only mildly positive (the researchersnoted that all four of those were negative to palpation after another fourto six weeks and a second corrective trim). The new average breakoverdistance for these horses was 10.9 mm.

All of the barefoot broodmares received follow-up evaluations oneweek after corrective trimming. Eight of the 10 were negative for reac-tion to palpation and two were mildly positive. The average breakoverdistance for these horses after corrective trimming also was 10.9 mm.

“Excessive toe length in the hind feet might be accompanied by painin the gluteal region,” Mansmann wrote in the study. “Shortening thetoe can alleviate this pain within days or weeks.”

The team added that “in cases where the toe length or gluteal painwas adversely affecting the horse’s comfort or function, one could alsoexpect an improvement in the horse’s gait and performance after reme-dial trimming or shoeing.”

So how can you tell if your horse’s feet are causing him gluteal painor if they might require evaluation?

Mansmann explained that most horses in need of a hind end evalu-ation will display behavioral problems including not performing asexpected, not being willing to move off the leg, or stopping at jumps.He also noted that these horses might display signs of a sore back.Additionally, “any horse where their hind foot coronet is slanted suchthat an extended line (following the coronary band line) hits thembehind the elbows should be evaluated,” he said.

He added that most farriers, with the aid of the veterinarian andhind foot radiographs, can evaluate and adjust the breakover for a par-ticular horse if needed.

The study, “Long Toes in the Hind Feet in the Gluteal Region: AnObservational Study of 77 Horses,” was published in the December 2010Journal of Equine Veterinary Science. The abstract is available online.—www.TheHorse.com, By Erica Larson, News Editor

Weekly Update

A Wisconsin company is recalling their equine first-aid kits due to the possible contamination of sterile alcohol prep pads and iodine prep padswith an “objectionable organism” during manufacturing. In a letter sent tocustomers in April, Creative Pet Products asked owners of its Horse Aid kitto remove and dispose of any alcohol or iodine prep pads.

The company, which also manufactures canine and feline first-aid kits,said in the letter that they would replace any alcohol or iodine prep pads ifcontacted by owners.

Creative Pet Products’ recall comes following the manufacturers’ (Triad)

recall of the iodine and alcohol prep pads due to Elizabethkingiameningoseptica and Bacillus cereus contamination, respectively. The use ofcontaminated pads could result in serious or life-threatening infections if thebacteria enters the body, the recall notice said.
