How’s This For An Encore? Lexington Up 4.3
Percent on Opening Night
By Bill Finley
LEXINGTON, KY - The main worry coming into last
night’s opening round of Lexington was that things were so
good a year earlier that the sale almost had to come back
down to Earth.
even with all the outs. And I can't imagine how well we
would have done if not for those outs.”
Manges believes that the reason the opening night was
so successful was that the catalogue was filled with gems.
Some observers said this was the best group they had
seen in decades.
“I was just hoping we would do as well as last year and
that was even pretty lofty,” he said. “I think we had a really
good group of horses, a really good group. The pedigrees
were there and the horses matched the pedigrees and
when that happens the buyers will spend.”
The title for session topper and, presumably sales
topper, was shared by Hips 21 and 31. They both sold for
$350,000.
Hip 21 is the Muscle Hill colt Federal Hill, who was
purchased by Mario Zuanetti’s Atlantic Trot, acting as the
agent for Finnish owner Reima Kuisla. The colt is a halfbrother to Father Patrick and Pastor Stephen and was sold
by Brittany Farms.
“Probably Ake Svanstedt will train this horse but I am not
100 percent sure,” Zuanetti. “I loved the horse and the

So much for that fear.
The opening night of Lexington 2014 was the first time in
more than 20 years that the average price per yearling sold
topped the $100,000 mark. Now, you can make that two
years in a row.
Ninety-eight yearlings were sold last night at the FasigTipton sales grounds for a gross of $10,734,000 and an
average of
$109,531. The
average represents
an increase of 4.3
percent.
“I was
ecstatic...this was a
great feeling,”cosales manager
Randy Manges
said. “To be up that
much over last year
is terrific. W e
wound up selling
just about the same
amount of horses

owner loved him too. He was ready to go a little bit higher,
so It feels like we got a bargain. The owner has horses
here and in Europe. He loves the sport and he wants to be
a player.”
Jimmy Takter has trained most of thee offspring of the
dam, Gala Dream, but bowed out on this one.
“Maybe Jimmy saw something that we didn’t,” Zuanetti
said.
Hip 31 is Live For Greatness, a colt by Cantab Hall out of
Forever Graceful. He was purchased by agent Robert
Lindstrom on behalf of Lennart Agren's SRF Stable. Agren
also owns Elitlopp winner Magic Tonight and the top mare
D’One.
“He will race over here but we have not decided on a
trainer yet,”
Lindstrom said.
“(For European
owners) it is
absolutely best
they stay in the
States for first
period and then we
will bring them later
to Scandinavia.
That is the trend.
“He was the best
horse in this sale in Co-session topper, Hip 31, Live For
Greatness
our opinion.
Personally, he
reminded me of Muscle Massive (a half-brother to the dam)
with way he moved. I am very happy with him. W ith some
others we bought tonight they were a little more expensive
than we thought they would be.”
The biggest single increase among any sex or gait was
with the pacing colts, who had a surprisingly weak showing
on this night last year. This year they averaged $96,000
versus $77,714 in 2014.
Trotting colts just edged out trotting fillies for the most
valued commodity last night. They sold for an average of
$121,485 versus $121,188 for the fillies.

With Johansson at His Side, Adriano Sorella
Emerges
Owner Adriano Sorella made headlines earlier this year
when announcing that he has selling the vast majority of
his horse because, among
other reasons, he was
tired of losing money.
But Sorella didn't stay
away long. He was an
active buyer last night at
Lexingon and his first
purchase, a
Somebeachsomewhere
filly he bought for
$52,000, was signed for
Adriano Sorella is back
by trainer Nancy
Johansson.
"I always planned on staying in the game, I just needed
to make a trainer change," Sorella said. "Nothing against
Casie (Coleman). I like Casie. It's just that she wants to
lower the amount of horses that she has and I was looking
to get more horses so I figured I would have to make a
change. Nancy is training the majority of horses for me and
I am also buying horses with Tony Alagna. I already bought
one with him tonight. W e're looking to get a few more
tonight and through the week."
W hen asked about replenishing his stable, Sorella said:
"I am not going to shy away. If I like something and the
price is right I will buy it."
Johansson and Sorella also bought a W ell Said colt for
$100,000.
A Quiet Night for Jimmy Takter
Usually Jimmy Takter makes a lot of noise at the yearling
sales, particularly on the first night. But that wasn’t the
case last night in Lexington.
Takter bought just five horses spending a total of
$450,000, very un-Takter-like numbers.
“It’s not like I am quiet, I keep getting outbid,” he said. “I
put them at a price and they go over, so I didn’t get them. I
don’t look for bargains, I look for a good horse but you
have to put the proper price on them. I have a
responsibility to my customers to try to make money for
them.”
Takter said there were three horses in particular that he
was out-bid on, co-sales toppers Hips 21 and 31 and Hip
37, a Muscle Hill colt that went for $250,000 to Tony
Alagna.
A Big Night for Crawford Farms
Having had to withdraw three of her better yearling
prospects from last night’s sale, Michelle Crawford had
every reason to be apprehensive about how her opening
night would go. But it turned out to be a memorable one for
what might be the sport’s fastest growing breeding and
racing operation.
Crawford sold Hip 104, a Muscle Hill colt for $280,000,
the most the farm has ever gotten for one of its yearlings.
The buyer was Tony Alagna.
“I was hoping for something good to happen after we had
some bad luck,” Michelle Crawford said. “I am just beyond
happy. I love that colt. I thought he would sell well. His
tape was very good and I knew what I had.”
Crawford also made some noise as a buyer, paying
$270,000 for a filly by Somebeachsomewhere out of
Rainbow Blue. It was the most she has ever paid for a
yearling.
“I wanted a foundation broodmare and a race mare,” she
said. “She big, she’s perfectly conformed; there’s nothing
you can fault her on. As you know, the bigger the better in
this industry.”
No, She’s Not a Paint Horse
She may not be the sales topper or even a session
topper, but Hip 151 is definitely one of the most talkedabout horses in the Lexington sale. Consigned by All
American Harnessbreds, the filly named Don’t Mind If I Do
will sell tonight.
For obvious reasons, Hip 151 is bringing a lot of curiosity
seekers by the All American consignment
The reason for her popularity? She looks like a paint
horse. She has four long white stockings on her legs and a
big splotch of white on her belly.
“I’ve never seen one like that, not a standardbred, at
least,” said All American’s Rob Tribbett. “Her mother has a
fair amount of chrome in the legs but nothing like that.
W hen she was born we called the breeding farm to make
sure they didn’t have a paint teaser or stallion sitting
around. She’s been DNA tested and she is in fact a Credit
W inner.”
Tribbett said several buyers and curiosity seekers have
made special trips to his barn to take a look at her.
“Every time she comes out people want to know what
that is, why she looks like that,” he said. “Credit W inners
are usually black, She’s the exact opposite. No one can
believe she is a Credit W inner.”
But does Don’t Mind If I Do have what it takes to turn into
a good race horse?
“The funny thing is she’s actually a really great moving
horse with a great video and has a good pedigree,” Tribbett
said. “So even without the paint aspect she is a nice
prospect.”

Response to Mr. Sporn's note in HRU on Sunday,
October 4th:
Mr. Sporn should know that our agreement with the state
of New Jersey and MetLife Stadium is the same agreement
that the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority had
with the Giants and Jets and is very clear that we must be
closed for the entire day on home game days of the Giants
and Jets regardless if the game is 1:00 pm, 4:00 pm,
Sunday night game, Monday night game, Holiday or playoff
game. The only exception is during preseason when they
allow us to open a portion of the day. On days we are
closed for football games we ask that our customers visit
our off track wagering facility by offering bounce back

JK She'salady, the 2014 Horse of the Year, Has
Been Retired
Despite winning a Sept. 17 qualifier at Pocono in her
most recent
appearance at a
racetrack, JK
She'salady has
been retired, trainer
Nancy Johansson
has announced.
The Art Major filly
was a perfect 12 for
12 last year and
was named Horse of the Year, a tremendous feat for a
2-year-old pacing filly.
She struggled this year, going just 1 for 4, before being
sidelined after finishing fifth in the June 27 Lynch at
Pocono. Johansson discovered the filly was suffering from
a deep lung infection and hoped that, after treatment, she
could have a productive end to her year. But she said she
saw that was unlikely to happen.
"W e really couldn't get her back to her best and the last
thing we wanted to do was to send her out there and have
her be a disappointment."
Johansson said a sire has yet be chosen for JK
She'salady but added, "W estern Ideal or something along
that line looks to be a good option."
Illinois Racing in Flux
By Neil Milbert
STICKNEY, IL - Hawthorne Race Course President Tim
Carey will be multi-tasking during his track’s fall
thoroughbred meeting that began over the weekend.
The thoroughbred meeting is scheduled to end on Jan. 2
and on Jan. 6
Hawthorne will begin its
first harness meeting
since 2008.
Carey must find a
race secretary for the
five night per-week
winter meeting that will
continue through Feb. 6
and for the five night
per-week summer
harness meeting from
May 6 through Sept. 25.
He has to lure horses
for both meetings and
establish a stakes
schedule.
He is committed to stabling both standardbreds and
thoroughbreds during the winter harness meeting.
He has to make plans for the conversion of the
thoroughbred racing surface to a surface suitable for
harness racing, a process that must be completed in less
than four days.
He has to remake the harness track back into a
thoroughbred track as soon as the winter meeting ends so
the runners can begin training for Hawthorne’s March
7-April 30 spring thoroughbred meeting and do it again as
soon as the summer harness meeting ends so the track
can conduct its fall thoroughbred meeting.
Illinois became a harness racing state in a state of flux
last week when the Illinois Racing Board denied the 2016
request for dates made by the sister tracks, Balmoral Park
and Maywood Park, that have been operating under
Chapter 11 bankruptcy since December. Balmoral sought
to race Friday and Saturday nights from Jan. 2 through
Nov. 3 and Maywood on the same nights from Nov. 4-Dec.
31.
This year Maywood also was scheduled to race through
December but this summer track President Duke Johnston
(continued on next page)
HarnessRacingUpdate.com
• 10/6/15 PAGE 6 of 10
received permission to end the meet on Oct. 9 and transfer
the dates to Balmoral for the remainder of 2015.
Instead of receiving a respite from racing it turned out
that Maywood received a death sentence.
With no live racing or host track simulcast money
forthcoming in 2016 it appears that both tracks are
doomed.
Carey is assuming that as soon as the Balmoral meeting
ends horses will move from there to Hawthorne
“As I understand it, there are 800 harness horses racing
in Illinois,” he said. “If that’s the case I think we will have
around 600 here in the January time frame.
“I have to talk to the people at Hoosier (Park). They end
their meeting in mid-November and their meeting doesn’t
start off again until late March. I’d like to see if they’d be
willing to come our way in January.”
Carey said he is working with leaders of both the Illinois
Harness Horsemen’s Association and the Illinois
Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association to make stabling
arrangements: “W hat barns will the harness horses go into
and what barns should the thoroughbreds go into.”
Plans also are being made to transform one or two of
the biggest barns into light training facilities for the
thoroughbreds during January.
IHHA President Dave McCaffrey and ITHA President
Mike Campbell have an excellent working relationship so
the stabling situation doesn’t seem to be a significant
problem.
However, the shrinkage of the Illinois harness year from
the 11 to 12-month season that has been the norm since
1968 to one month in the winter and five months in the
summer conceivably could pose serious horse population
problems come summer and again in January, 2017 if the
Racing Board adopts the same schedule for that year.
Illinois doesn’t have slot machine wagering to provide a
revenue stream for purses--bills were passed by the
legislature in 2011 and 2013 but former Governor Pat
Quinn failed to sign them—and, as a consequence, the
state’s tracks have been hard-pressed to compete with
tracks in states that allow the slots.
Exacerbating a situation that has been deteriorating
since the advent of riverboat casino gaming in Illinois in
September, 1991 was the start of video gaming at bars and
restaurants, truck stops and veterans and fraternal
establishments in October, 2012.
There are now 10 riverboat casinos and more than 4,500
video gaming outlets offering nearly 18,000 video and slot
games.
Last year for 114 racing nights Balmoral averaged
$90,733 in purses, $179,519 in handle on its racing
programs, $274,353 in handle on out-of-state races and
$709,496 in out of state handle on Illinois races.
Maywood had 78 racing nights in 2014 and averaged
$65,602 in purses, $152,423 in handle on its racing
programs, $366,389 in handle on out of state races and
$544,199 in out of state handle on Illinois races.
Included in the handle on racing programs category are
wagers on the Balmoral and Maywood programs made at
off-track betting parlors and at other tracks in Illinois and
via advance deposit wagering (which has been conducted
since 2013).
Ironically, closing night turned out to be Maywood’s best
night of the year in terms of attendance and handle. A big
crowd showed up to bid a fond farewell to the half-mile
track that inaugurated pari-mutuel wagering on harness
racing in Illinois in 1946 and the handle for the 12-race card
totaled $1,111,216.
Not only have the number of racing nights dwindled this
year, wagering and purses have plummeted dramatically.
“W e’re earning about $20,000 a night in purses and are
paying $45,000,” Johnston said earlier this summer in
asking the board to abbreviate his 2015 meeting. “I can’t
keep doing that.”
When Hawthorne last had a harness meeting in the
summer of 2008 its vital statistics were significantly better
than those of Balmoral and Maywood in 2014. For 39
racing nights Hawthorne averaged $92,170 in purses,
$290,893 in handle on its programs, $550,654 in handle on
out of state races and $832,497 in out of state handle on
Illinois races.
But it is important to note that Hawthorne posted those
numbers before the advent of video gaming outlets and the
opening of the state’s most lucrative casino in Des Plaines,
about a 20-minute drive from Maywood.
Also, the Illinois horse population has dwindled
considerably.
“In 2008 there were three times as many horses as there
are available now,” Johnston pointed out. “Talk about short
fields. You’re not going to get horses from Indiana and
Ohio at Hawthorne. It’s going to be a disaster.”
Long-time Chicago harness owner Jimmy Durante sees it
the same way. “Once they leave for three months (after the
January meeting) it’ll be hard to get them back,” Durante
said.
Johnston predicted there also will be a tidal wave effect
on off-track wagering in Illinois.
“W ith no dates (at Balmoral and Maywood) the OTB
structure will fall to pieces,” he warned the Racing Board
during the hearings that prefaced the awarding of the 2016
dates.
Maywood has six OTB outlets and Balmoral has three.
One of the locations had a total handle of $24,729,566 in
2014 and two others exceeded $20,000,000. (The handle
at all of the others was in single digits. The low numbers
were in downstate college towns --$3,247,621 in Normal
and $3,572,692 in Champaign.)
Although Hawthorne hasn’t had harness racing for six
years, it is located in what historically has been the
Chicago metropolitan area’s hottest standardbred market.
Now-defunct Sportsman’s Park—located a block from
Hawthorne—was one of North America’s premier tracks
when it conducted the sport from 1949 through October,
1997 (after which it was converted into a short-lived
combination auto racing/thoroughbred racing facility).
Winter harness racing flourished at Hawthorne during the
1990s with day-night doubleheaders throughout the
meeting. (In illustrating the dramatic decline of Illinois
racing, McCaffrey pointed out at the dates hearings that in

1995 the state had 656 harness programs.)
W hile dual-purpose standardbred/thoroughbred tracks
aren’t common in the U.S.—the Meadowlands and
Hollywood Park were the last major tracks to do both—they
aren’t unique in Illinois. In addition to Hawthorne and
Sportsman’s, W ashington Park, Balmoral and Fairmount
Park (across the Mississippi from St. Louis) have had both
breeds racing on the same track in the same year.
Even Arlington International Racecourse has a
standardbred history. After its sister track, W ashington
Park, was destroyed by fire in 1977 the harness meeting
was moved to Arlington the following year.
The demise of Balmoral and Maywood leaves a huge
void in major harness events on the Chicago circuit.
The 10 American-National races at Balmoral date back to
the sports heyday in Chicago at Sportsman’s and they
have continued to lure many of North America’s leading
pacers and trotters since moving to Balmoral.
American-National Night, which will be held this year on
held on Nov. 7, is the main event in Illinois harness racing.
Six-figure purses are the norm topped by the $250,000 pot
for the race for 3-year-old colt and gelding pacers.
Super Night is a mega event for Illinois-breds and it too
moved from Sportsman’s (where it was inaugurated in
1989) to Balmoral. It has been held in mid-September for
the past 27 years and features eight championship
races—all worth $100,000 or more in purse money—plus
six consolations.
Maywood likewise has some important races. The
$180,000 W indy City Pace, $100,000 Galt Trot, $100,000
Abe Lincoln and $75,000 Cinderella were scheduled for
Nov. 13 but now the closing of Maywood leaves both their
short term and long term future uncertain.
“W e haven’t gotten that far yet,” Carey replied when
asked about Hawthorne’s stakes schedule. “W e’ll see how
it plays out.
“If Maywood and Balmoral are really going to be gone
permanently maybe they’d want these races to stay and
we can talk to them about obtaining the races.”
Hawthorne’s president likened the situation to his track
obtaining the Chicago circuit’s top race for members of the
Triple Crown thoroughbred crop, the Illinois Derby, from
Bidwill family that was the principal owner of Sportsman’s
after that track’s National Jockey Club was forced out of
racing because of bankruptcy.
International Stallion Stakes for Freshmen
Trotters Attracts 33 Colts
By Ray Cotolo (The Red Mile)
LEXINGTON, KY - The Thursday, Oct. 8, program at
The Red Mile is headlined by five divisions of the $264,200
International Stallion Stakes (ISS) for 2-year-old colt and
gelding trotters.
The premier split features Milligan’s School, who won the
fastest division of the $289,000 Bluegrass on Oct. 1, timed
in 1:56.3. Owned by Stroy Inc. and trained by Julie Miller,
the son of Yankee Glide, out of S J’s Photo mare Tori Ann,
has earned $132,494 in 10 starts this season, with four of
them being wins. Jimmy Takter’s Honor Above All, Ron
Burke’s Make Or Miss, and Ake Svanstedt’s Metatron all
also return to Lexington after competing in the Bluegrass.
Split two is highlighted by the Jimmy Takter-trained Love
Matters, whose record was tainted by a break in the
$351,000 Pennsylvania Sires Stakes final. The winner of
six races in seven starts qualified in 1:56.2 at The Red Mile
on Sept. 25. He’s sired by Explosive Matter, and foaled out
of the Andover Hall mare Lotsa Love. He’s owned by
Christina Takter, Brixton Medical Ab, John Fielding, and
Herb Liverman. He’s competing against Bluegrass starters
Labatt Hanover, Hollywood Highway, Coughlin, Desert
Runner, and Sliding Home, who finished second in the
Pennsylvania Sires Stakes final on Sept. 11.
Division leader Southwind Frank races in the third
division, shipping from Canada after winning the $283,480
W illiam W ellwood on Sept. 19. Trained by Ron Burke, the
Muscle Hill colt, out of the Cantab Hall mare Flawless
Lindy, has won six of his seven starts this season, banking
$450,319. He races for the interests of Burke Racing
Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, Our Horse Cents Stables, and
Jerry and Theresa Silva Stables. He’ll face
Bluegrass-division winners Lagerfeld, trained by Jimmy
Takter, and Taco Tuesday, trained by Frank Antonacci.
Jonas Czernyson-trainee Brooklyn Hill competes in the
fourth split. Owned by Srf Stable, the winner of one in nine
starts and an earner of $162,100 last raced in the W illiam
W ellwood Memorial, where he was fourth to Southwind
Frank. The colt by Muscle Hill, out of the Conway Hall
mare Brooklyn, has five place finishes on his record,
including in a W illiam W ellwood elimination, $88,055
Champlain division, $34,244 Reynolds division, and the
$349,850 Peter Haughton Memorial. Bluegrass starters
Dominion Beach, Brownie Hanover, Celebrity Pilatus,
Cloud Nine Hanover, and Southwind Flash also draw into
this division.
The final ISS division matches up Dupree and Bar
Hopping, who finished one-two in a Bluegrass division last
week. Sent off the favorite in that race, Bar Hopping, a
Muscle Hill colt out of Credit W inner mare Cocktail Hour
owned by Christina Takter, Hatfield Stables, Marvin Katz,
and Al Libfeld, stalled in his first-over move after Dupree,
resulting in his second-place finish. A winner in one of six
starts, he has banked $87,238 to date. Owned by
Knutsson Trotting and Courant A B, Dupree, sired by
Andover Hall out of the Muscles Yankee mare Hustle N
Muscle, has won two of seven starts, and earned
$114,031. Petrossian As and Sutton, who also started in
the Bluegrass stakes, also start in this split.
The 10-race card has a first-race post time of 1:00pm.

PA Champ Safe from Terror Wins Easily in
Keystone Classic at the Meadows
WASHINGTON, PA (October 5) - Safe From Terror,
surprise winner of the Pennsylvania Sires Stake
championship at 45-1, abandoned her ambush tactics and
made short work of the field in a division of Monday’s
$69,000 Keystone Classic at The Meadows. Somewhere
Sweet captured the other division of the stake for
3-year-old pacing fillies.
After her PASS triumph, Safe From Terror scored yet
another upset with a late rally in the Nadia Lobell. In the
Keystone Classic, however, Matt Kakaley switched gears
and sent the daughter of W estern Terror-In A Safe Place to
the front at the quarter pole. She prevailed in 1:53.3, 1/2
length better than her stablemate, Southwind Roulette, with
Dobre Povedane third.
“She was the best in there, so I didn’t want to take any
chances,” Kakaley
said. “She was very
good — that was
easy for her. She’s
a sweetheart to
drive. She’ll do
whatever you want.”
Ron Burke trains
Safe From Terror,
who won for the
Safe From Terror
11th time this year
and pushed her career bankroll to $482,742, for Our Horse
Cents Stables, Stable 45 and J&T Silva Stables.
Somewhere Sweet triumphed in 1:51.1, just a tick off
W eeper’s stake record, but couldn’t separate herself from
the stalkers, forcing Aaron Merriman to get after her late.
“She paced strong into the stretch,” Merriman said, “but
when I pulled the plugs, she actually kind of sat down. She
maybe didn’t want me to pull them.”
Somewhere Sweet downed Angel Or Terror by a length
while Kays Dragon Lady earned show. Brian Brown

W ork Of Art, who soared over $200,000 in lifetime
earnings, for Miller’s Stable.

Kelsey’s Keepsake and Smokinmombo each took a
division of Monday’s companion feature, a $91,800
Keystone Classic for sophomore filly trotters.
Kelsey’s Keepsake was fourth down the backside when
Joe Bongiorno sent her after the leader, Murderers Row.
Despite competing off a sickness scratch, she blew by and
drew off to win by 5 lengths in 1:55.2 for trainer Robert
Bongiorno and owner Carly Roman. Avalon Hall was
second with Kirsi Hanover third.
“First over is her best game,” Joe Bongiorno said. “W e
knew she had this race coming up, and once she scoped a
little sick after she trained, we wanted to scratch her, get
her healthy and get her ready for the stake.”
Smokinmombo hadn’t won since Aug. 20, but she
quarter-poled to the top for Merriman and scored in 1:55.3,
2 lengths better than the pocket-sitting Matter Hatter.
Global Ice completed the ticket.
“She got a little rough on me in the Hambletonian Oaks
and a few starts after that,” said Chris Beaver, who trains
the daughter of Explosive Matter-Horizontal Mombo and
owns with Synerco Ventures and James Gallagher. “I think
it’s straightened out, but she’s not great on a big racetrack.
She’ll go to a couple stakes at Hoosier Park.”
In the $24,800 Winners Over $10,000 Life/Preferred
Handicap Trot, Better Caviar took advantage of a backside
shootout between Tamarind and Monte Cristo Spur and
zipped by in the stretch to win in 1:55.1 for trainer/driver
David W ade. Sixteen Mikes rallied for second, a neck
back, while Monte Cristo Spur saved show. Gerald
Brittingham, Kelley Rogers, W illiam Peel III and W ade own
the 7-year-old son of SJ’s Caviar-Better Credit, who now
boasts $162,485 in career earnings.
The Keystone Classic series concludes Tuesday at The
Meadows with a pair of stakes for 3-year-old colts and
geldings — a $69,750 pace and an $89,800 trot. Headliner
is millionaire W akazashi Hanover, who currently ranks third
among all Standardbreds in seasonal earnings. First post
is 12:55 PM.
