The horses were back! The excitement was electric! Saturday’s eight race card featured five Quarter Horse races and three Thoroughbred races. Rillito Park is known as the birthplace of Quarter Horse racing and its Quarter Horse races consistently out handle the Thoroughbred races. However, Rillito is “an equal opportunity track” so Sunday’s race card consisted of five Thoroughbred races and three Quarter Horse races. The highlight of the weekend was the Rillito Park Quarter Horse Derby which was run on Sunday A full gate of eight lined up for the 350 yard dash. Trainer, Monica Ortega’s Endless Speed, ignored the fact that he was the longest shot on the board and with Rick Oliver in the irons he finished 1/2 length ahead of the second place horse, Mo Money Mo Problems. He lit up the tote board paying $54..60, $19.60 and $8.20 to his supporters. The trifecta of 1-7-4 returned a whopping $5,706.00. Rillito Park was dark on February 4th & 5th (Super Bowl weekend). Racing returned on February 11th & 12th A jockey’s duel developed on Saturday’s card with Rick Oliver winning four races and Carl Williams winning three. The only other rider to make it to the winner’s circle was Jarell James in the 6th race. Saturday’s feature race was the John Deere/Rillito Park Bonus Challenge, a Quarter Horse Stake going 330 yards for a purse of $8,400. Hawk in Traffic left the gate without his rider and was declared a non-starter. Rick Oliver teamed with Dennis Marstellar’s Buck El Up for the victory. Eyes Open a Little, ridden by David Reyes-Frisby was out nodded at the wire. The Quarter Horses again took center stage on Sunday in the Zoom, Zoom, Zoom stake so named because the distance is only 100 yards and these guys are flying when they cross the finish line. One must have a lot of faith in his horse to enter this race because there is a $1,000 entry fee, PCHA adds $500 and the WINNER TAKES ALL. This year’s winner of the $8,500 was Fishers Flash owned by Fernando Castro, trained by Armando Castellanos and ridden to victory by Emilio Tapia. This son of Fishers Dash flashed his speed finishing 3/4 of a length in front of Lil Lickitee Spit. Carl Williams added two more wins Sunday while Daniel Aguilar visited the winner’s circle three times. Three Thoroughbred trials were run on Saturday, February 18th for the Rillito Park Hopeful Maiden Stakes. The final was run on March 3, 2012, at a distance of 5 1/2 furlongs with an estimated purse of $6,000. The trials were won by owner/trainer Jeff D Hudson’s Gone Jet with Carl Williams up, Oh Me Oh My owned by Jocelyn A. Ortega and trained by Monica Ortega with Rick Oliver in the irons, and Swiss Jewel, owned and trained by Armando Castellanos and piloted by Carl Williams. The eight horses which qualified for the Hopeful Stakes were: Gone Jet, Taboose, Catch the King, Oh Me Oh My, Starting Time, Swiss 4 Arizona Thoroughbred April/May/June Jewel, Mr. Trendy and Pinky’s Boots. On February 19th, 4,665 fans braved breezy conditions to wager on five Thoroughbred and thee Quarter Horse races. Rider, Carl Williams, was on fire, winning half of the races on Saturday’s card and moving to the top of the jockey standings with 14 wins. Rick Oliver was chasing him with 20 wins. With Rillito’s grandstand and clubhouse so close to the track, our fans really feel as though they are part of the action and now they can be part of history. On November 18, 2011, the entire 88 acres comprising Rillito Park Racetrack were approved for membership in the Arizona Historical Society. We are now waiting for approval by the National Historical Society. We hope that these historical designations will hold the bulldozers at bay and keep the horses running at Rillito Park! The death of County Fair horse racing in Arizona and the cancelling of Arizona’s summer racing meet at Yavapai Downs in Prescott, AZ, served to provide extra challenges for Rillito’s Racing Secretary, Susan Rich. She compromised by reducing the number of races to 8 per day (rather than 9 or 10) and she got on the phone. If a trainer had a horse that fit Susan’s conditions, it was best if the hose was entered. Excuses for not entering were not well received. Thanks to Susan’s diligence and our loyal horsemen, the races got filled. Some of our Thoroughbreds arrived wearing longer than desirable coats, but they were ready to run. As one would expect at “The birth place of Quarter Horse racing”, the Quarter Horses were shining like Indy cars at the Indianapolis 500 and were real crowd pleasers as they strutted their stuff. The card on Sunday, February 28, 2012, contained six Quarter horse Trials going 350 yards for the Rillito Park Maiden Stake which was held on Sunday, March 11, 2012. The eight finalist were Runaway N Zoom, One Fabulous Choice, Teller to Love Me, Chic N Six, RA Dashing Beduino, First American Pie, Sally Wood, and Genuine Duena. It took the camera to determine the order of finish. Teller to Love Me, owned by Francisco Vallejo, trained by Ramon Fontes, Jr. and ridden by Hector Aldree emerged the winner. The Thoroughbred Rillito Park Hopeful Maiden Stakes going 5/1/2 furlongs was run as the featured race on Saturday, March 3, 2012 Mr. Trendy scratched from the race. Jeff Hudson’s Gone Jet piloted by Daniel Aguilar made every pole a winning one as he took the field wire to wire. The distance lengthened for the feature race on Sunday, March 4, 2012. It was the Dr. Dale Shirley Memorial Race going 6 1/2 furlongs. A full field of eight faced the starter, and it was a very impressive Del Mar Drama owned by Billy, Donna & Justin Hays and trained by John H. Schmitt who kicked clear under the capable handling of Delano Lucero to win for 4 1/2 lengths.

Under blue skies with temperatures in the 70’s the Pete Selin Memorial Happy Minute Thoroughbred Stake going 5 1/2 furlongs was the feature race on Sunday, March 11, 2012. Jarell James ode Xstransporatation to victory in this stake race for fillies and mares. This speedy mare is owned by Karla De Jesus Garcia and is trained by Jesus Fernando Ortega, Sr. Our beautiful weather deserted us on Sunday, March 18, 2012. After being pelted with rain all morning, our post time temperature was in the 50’s with a chilly wind and more rain threatening. The track was sealed and there were many votes to cancel the day’s races. However, Director of Racing, Pat White, took the stance that “the show must go on”, the jockeys were okay with getting muddy, and the races went on as scheduled. However, some of the race distances had to be changed because of the difficulty in moving the starting gate. All 5 1/2 furlong races were run at 6 1/2 which made for some interesting handicapping and some nice payoffs. The feature race of the day was The Paloma Stakes going 4 furlongs. Deciding he didn’t want to be covered with mud, Jarell James took Little Dude right to the front and they maintained that position to the wire. Scary Midnight finished second, 7 lengths ahead of third place Waverly Girl. We prayed for sunshine and temperatures in the 80’s for closing weekend, March 24th & 25th, and our prayers were answered. They say that “Absence makes the heart grow fonder: Perhaps even the thought of an extended absence causes more fondness because when the word gets out that this is the last weekend of the year that the horses will be running at Rillito Park, the fans flock to the tack. Closing weekend combined with beautiful weather is always a winning exacta. More than 10,000 fans passed the turnstiles to watch Rillito’s Thoroughbred and Quarter Horses compete at Rillito Park for the final time in 2012. Saturday’s program featured 9 races while Sunday’s contained 10 races. Sunday’s feature race was the Hoard and Charlotte King Memorial, a Quarter Horse Stake going 870 yards. Through the years, veteran trainer, Wayne Brasher, has proven to be almost unbeatable in this race. This year he sent two horses to the post and picked on the morning line to run 1/2. PB Mr Phil raced out of the number 4 post position and Actually ran from the number 5 post position. After leading for most of the race, Pb Mr Phil was passed in the turn by his stable mate and a 5-4 finished looked inevitable. However, in the deep stretch, Pb Mr Phil stepped on a front shoe, slowing him dramatically and taking him off of the board. Thoroughbred Rumored Overnight was second with Thoroughbred Dr. Dizzle third. Luckily Pb Mr. Phil was not injured and will race another day. Meantime, Mr. Brasher extended his King Memorial victories to 11. Sunday’s card was packed with exciting races The Rillito Park Budweiser Mile, which is actually 1 1/16 miles was sandwiched between three Quarter Horses Stakes. Luckily, the riders were on their toes and everybody remembered the race wasn’t over until they had crossed the finish line twice. Del Mar Drama, winner of the Dr Dale Shirley Memorial race at 6 1/2 furlongs proved to 6 Arizona Thoroughbred April/May/June January/February be much the best. With Delano Lucero again in the irons, he left the field in his wake and earned a 2 for 2 win record in stakes races at Rillito this meet. His trainer, John H. Schmitt, had been very confident in this bay gelding who was bred in California by Tommy Town Thoroughbreds. The Rukin Jelks Quarter Horse Stakes was run at 350 yards and had a purse of $18,500. Trials had been run on March 10, 2012 and the finalist were By Fly First Class, A Blazin Dash, Hawks Three Chick, Jess Creek Manor, Fly Jess for Perks, Jrm Scottermegone, Mo Money Mo Problems and a Real Dasher Hawks Three Chick and Mo Money Mo Problems were the morning line and crowd favorites and they did not disappoint. Mo Money Mo Problems, owned and trained by Omar E. Lorta, and ridden by outstanding Quarter Horse ride, Porfirio Cano, crossed the wire first, just ahead of flying Hawks Three Chicks. A Real Dasher completed the trifecta. The Hasta La Vista Quarter Horse Stake drew so many entrants that Racing Secretary, Susan Rich, had to make two races. All of these owners and trainers must have lots of confidence in their horses because the entry fee is $2,500 and the WINNER TAKES ALL in these races. The first division had 7 horses and a purse of $18,000 (including $500 added by PCHA). The distance was 220 yards, and these guys were flying. The race was won by Separate Dasher, trained by Caesar Lopez, owned by Camacho & S & R Gastelum, and ridden to victory by David Reyes-Frisby. The second Hasta La Vista was truly the last official race of the season. It had 8 head and a purse of $20,500 (including $500 added by PCHA). The crowd stayed to watch Lil Lickitee Spit come home the winner with Luis W Gutierrez in the irons for owner/trainer Jose Botello. The fans were reluctant to leave and stayed for the annual pony rider race of approximately 60 yards which was won for the second year in a row by pony rider Hailie Ybarra who is the new bride of rider Michael Ybarra. This is also a winner take all race with $100 cash going to the winner. Jockey, Carl Williams, who is new to Rillito Park, jumped out to an early lead in the jockey standings and never looked back. He added validity to the strategy of going to the front and making them catch you. Even though he took a couple of weekends off to race at Turf Paradise and in spite of the fact that our muddy track was not to his liking, his lead was insurmountable. He resumed his winning ways on closing weekend and fought off his competition to win handily. The leading trainer race was closely contested between two popular trainers, Caesar Lopez and Monica Ortega. It was decided on closing day with Caesar Lopez taking the victory. The sun was starting to go down as the last fans drove away from Rillito Park -THE FUN PLACE TO RUN. v Arizona Stallion Stakes - April 7, 2012 A Political Time - J Lloyd Yother, Owner The traditional Arizona Stallion Stakes, seven and one-half furlongs on the grass drew a field of seven. A Political Time, Ten Ninety Seven, Hindu Kush and She's a Hit previously tried their footing on the grass. She's a Hit and Hindu Kush finished 4th and 3rd in the Scottsdale Handicap. A Political Time and Ten Ninety Seven tackled the turf in the Tempe Handicap. Ten Ninety Seven advanced inside, came up short and finished fifth. A Political Time was near the lead going to the far turn when he had to check hard, losing all chances to gain ground. He faded to ninth. The gelding owned by J. Lloyd Yother was not to be denied in his second try on the lawn. He was away well, and ridden out to a two length victory. The grass truly was greener on April 7th for A Political Time.

May/June Arizona April/May/June ArizonaThoroughbred Thoroughbred117 In 1853, James Gadsden, a U. S. Diplomate negotiated a purchase of land known as the Gadsden Purchase from Mexico, which became part of New Mexico and Arizona. In 2010, agent, Marvin Fleming, a noted breeder in Arizona, purchased a weanling from the November Keeneland sale. This transaction became part of Arizona. The gelding was gifted to the U of A equine program. The University of Arizona consigned Gadsden Purchase to the 2011 ATBA as a yearling. The dark bay or brown gelding was the second horse to enter the sale ring. The bidding stopped at $2,500 and trainer Doug Oliver was the new owner. Gadsden Purchase made his debut in the ATBA Spring Sale Stake trials, with a winning style. Twelve juveniles were set to go postward in the ATBA Spring Sale Stake, headed by trial winners Youbetshewon, Gadsden Purchase and My little Tweety. Prior to the race Rib Eye and Rock Those Hips were trainer scratches. Falcon Lane, fractious at the gate was a steward scratch. Gadsden Purchase broke on top and never looked back.

As you all know state revenues have suffered greatly during the past several years. Less than four years ago Arizona went from a budget surplus to a general fund deficit that exceeded three billion dollars - about 30% of the budget. awards. ATBA Board Member Marvin Fleming and Yvonne Kunz met with Eileen Klein to provide detail about the impact of the breeding industry on the Arizona economy. ATBA staff contacted breeders and supporters to contact House leadership and other to impress upon them the need and importance for funding breeder awards. The HBPA supported our efforts. All state-funded programs suffered budget cuts and sweeps and the Breeders’ Award Fund was no exception. Unlike the majority of breeder awards across the country, the Arizona awards depend on legislative general fund appropriation. The result of our efforts is a $250,000 appropriation for breeder awards for the fiscal year beginning July 1. While it is not the amount that was appropriated in the past, the fact that it was included in the budget is recognition of the impact of the Thoroughbred breeding industry to Arizona. The ATBA focused its efforts on restoring some of the funding. Early in the year Representative Heather Carter, a huge supporter, arranged a presentation involving various aspects of the equine community at WestWorld. Several legislators, including Senate President Steve Pierce, House Speaker Andy Tobin and Governor’s Chief of Staff Eileen Klein attended the event. ATBA Executive Director Yvonne Kunz made a presentation on behalf of the breeders. We followed up with a meeting between ATBA President Dennis Grenier and the Senate Chief of Staff to emphasize the importance of funding the awards. Senate President Pierce is a staunch supporter and committed to work with us to try to find some money for breeder Special thanks to President Pierce, Governor’s chief Klein, Representative Carter and Speaker Tobin for their support. Dennis Grenier, Marvin Fleming, Yvonne Kunz and all that contacted legislators on behalf of the ATBA should be recognized for their outstanding efforts. v Editors Note: A huge thank you to ATBA Lobbyist Elaine Arena, for the many hours calling on Senators and Representatives urging them to keep breeder awards at the the top of their agenda. Without her efforts many of the invitations extended to the ATBA (WestWorld presentation, etc) would not have been made available to our organization. Thank You!

He uses three parameters to select his breeding stock, pedigree, conformation and racing ability. His number one factor in breeding is to have a good pool of genes. In his quest to produce the best foals in Arizona, he continues to upgrade his Thoroughbreds. He recently purchased a new stallion, and he is currently selecting quality broodmares pushing forward his goals and dreams to produce quality Arizona-breds He served as a member of the ATBA board for 11 years.

Lee, Elaine, Brian and Lexie Jo 30 Arizona Thoroughbred April/May/June Governor Jan Brewer Appoints New Racing Director Governor Jan Brewer named William J. Walsh the new Director of the Arizona Department of Racing. He had been serving as the Department’s interim Director since the departure of former Director Lonny Powell, who resigned the post effective December 31, 2011. Mr. Walsh was appointed by Governor Brewer in March 2012. The Department of Racing regulates the Arizona pari-mutuel horse and greyhound racing industry; supervises all commercial horse, greyhound and county fair racing meetings; licenses participants and collects revenues; and enforces laws and rules related to racing and wagering in the State of Arizona. The Department also regulates and supervises boxing, kickboxing, tough man and mixed martial arts events in Arizona. Mr. Walsh has more than four decades of professional experience in the racing industry. He began his career working as a pari-mutuel clerk in New York. He taught elementary school for several years, and then served as a Patrol and Placing Judge at Arlington Park in Arlington Heights, Illinois. He worked for the Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective association (HBPA) in Rockville, Maryland, and in Spokane, Washington, followed by a stint as Executive Director of the Alabama Horsemen’s Racing Association in Birmingham, Alabama. Mr. Walsh joined the Department of Racing in 1993, taking on the oversight of simulcasting and off-track wagering in Arizona, as well as rules development. Mr. Walsh has served as the Department’s authorized public lobbyist and most recently, Chief Horse Steward/Supervisor of Officials and Wagering. Mr. Walsh completed the Senior Steward Racing Officials Accreditation Program in Lexington, Kentucky, and hold racing licenses in Alabama, Illinois, New York and Washington.
