BREEDING SHED
Keeping the Membership informed, LTBA President Tom Early
O
n December 12th this year
the Fair Grounds will offer
up the Twenty-fifth running of
Louisiana Champions Day. It
seems like just yesterday that we
were at the legislature lobbying
for passage of legislation to help
fund the purses for what was the
premier racing day for the horse
industry in Louisiana. This
included both thoroughbred and
quarter
horse
accredited
Louisiana bred horses. It has
been a tremendous success in
that it features the best of both
breeds competing on one day for
purses that have grown to more
than a million dollars for the
day. This eventually led to the
other tracks in the state wanting
their own day featuring
Louisiana bred horses. With one
such day at each track the glitter
of Louisiana Champions Day is
somewhat diminished but is still
something every owner and
trainer desires to not only compete in but strives to win.
sold to the Gala. All you need to
be admitted is to be a current
member of the Louisiana
Thoroughbred Breeders Association; this will get you two
admissions. If someone is not a
member they will be asked to
join the Association as an associate member if they are not currently in the breeding business
in Louisiana, or to pay up their
membership if they are currently
breeding horses in Louisiana.
I hope to see a great crowd
decked out for this celebration.
For more information you can
contact the office of the LTBA.
(504) 947-4676 or (800) 7721195
T
his year, in a new twist to
the Gala that is featured the
night before Louisiana Champions Day, there will be no tickets

LOUiSiANA TOBA BREEDER OF THE YEAR
Charles Smith
N
ot long after his homebred String King began racing in 2011 under
the tutelage of another trainer, Charles Smith decided to take the
trainer’s test so he could take over conditioning the son of Crowned KingString Dancer. Four years later String King has taken his
owner/breeder/trainer on a journey that included 18 victories, 13 of which
are stakes wins, and 12 second or third place finishes in 38 starts. The
gelding is still winning stakes at age 7 in 2015 and has earned $980,552
to date.
Includied among the 13 stakes won by String King are the 2015 G3
Colonel E.R. Bradley Handicap on the turf at Fair Grounds and three editions each of the Louisiana Cup Turf Classic at Louisiana Downs and
Louisiana Champions Day Turf Stakes at Fair Grounds; as well as 2 editions of the Mr. Sulu Stakes at Fair Grounds, named for another popular
Louisiana Bred turf runner.
In breeding, Smith looks for what he calls “blue hen” broodmares back
in the generation line and his mare String Dancer had that proven level of
pedigree. String King has certainly proven to be a sucessful result of this
philosphy.
Charlie Smith is unique in being breeder/owner and trainer of String
King, pictured below winning the 2015 Louisiana Cup Turf Classic at
Louisiana Downs.

Custom For Carlos
N
ot too many Louisiana stallions can boast of having a winner during the prestigious Saratoga
meeting in their first crops, but freshman sire Custom
for Carlos accomplished that feat when his daughter
Big World (x Tensas Wedding Joy, by Broken Vow)
won a seven-furlong maiden race at the Spa. Currently
the leading freshman sire in both Louisiana and the
Southwestern region, the stallion is off to a quick start
with four winners and progeny earnings of $163,930
so far from his first crop.
Custom for Carlos comes by the ability to impart
precocious speed honestly. His sire, More Than
Ready, won four stakes as a juvenile including the
Sanford Stakes (G2) and Tremont Stakes (G3) and
was third in the Futurity Stakes (G1). The following
year, the colt won the King’s Bishop Stakes (G1) and
Hutcheson Stakes (G2), both at seven furlongs, and
stretched his speed to run second in the Blue Grass
Stakes (G1), Louisiana Derby (G2) and Dwyer Stakes
(G2). As a sire, More Than Ready has 148 stakes winners to his credit as of October 6, 2015, and led the
American juvenile sire list in 2010. More Than Ready
is also off to a good start as a sire of sires as his
Australian-bred son Sebring was champion third-crop
sire in that country during the 2014/15 Southern
Hemisphere season.
A scion of the great La Troienne family, More Than
Ready was sired by an even better stallion in 10-time
Argentine champion sire Southern Halo, a son of twotime American champion sire Halo and a great sire of
sprinters and milers. His dam Woodman’s Girl also
has good antecedents, as her sire Woodman was the
champion Irish juvenile of 1985 before embarking on
a successful stud career.
Produced from Meadow Oaks, also the dam of
sprint stakes winner Mimi’s Bling (by Bernstein),
Custom for Carlos has another source of speed close
up in his maternal grandsire, Meadowlake. Winner of
the 1985 Arlington-Washington Futurity (G1) during a
brief but unbeaten racing career, Meadowlake sired 60

stakes winners including champion juvenile filly
Meadow Star. Further back, Custom for Carlos has
1977 Triple Crown winner Seattle Slew—a very fast
horse indeed—as the sire of his second dam, Peggy
Slew.
Custom for Carlos’ third dam, Plankton (by
Quack), provides a leavening of stamina in the stallion’s pedigree. The winner of the 10-furlong Ladies
Handicap (G1), Plankton produced the staying
Buckley Boy (by Alydar), winner of the 1986 Gallant
Fox Handicap (G2) over 13 furlongs. Plankton’s presence in Custom for Carlos’ pedigree lends support to
the possibility that he may be able to sire progeny
capable of going around two turns when put to more
stamina-oriented mates.
One turn was all Custom for Carlos himself wanted, but he was a good and consistent runner within his
stamina limitations. While he did not race at 2, he
made up for lost time by winning two stakes (including the Grade III Jersey Shore Stakes in a smart
1:08.19 for six furlongs) and placing in two more at 3,
earning $290,630 that year. He followed up with
Grade III wins in the Count Fleet Handicap at
Louisiana Horse
Oaklawn and the Mr. Prospector Stakes at Gulfstream
Park at 4, was second to 2010 champion sprinter Big
Drama in the Mr. Prospector Stakes at 5 and ended his
racing career having earned $485,865 and five tripledigit Beyer speed ratings.
Custom for Carlos’ first crop was well received in
the sale ring, averaging $23,616 as yearlings and
$42,808 as 2-year-olds. It is now up to the stallion’s
runners to justify his initial appeal, and so far they are
delivering. While it is too early to discern any significant trends among Custom for Carlos’ runners, three
of his four winners are from Mr. Prospector-line mares
who also return Northern Dancer in their pedigrees.
The fourth, Pulchritude, has a decidedly unorthodox
pedigree as she is out of the Meadowlake mare
Daddys Little Girl, making her inbred 3x2 to
Meadowlake.
More Than Ready has done very well with mares
returning Danzig, and as Custom for Carlos is free of
that strain, this may be a viable tactic for him as well,
especially if the mare also returns Mr. Prospector.
Another cross with good potential is to the perennially popular Storm Cat line, which is well represented in
Fall 2015
Louisiana. Custom for Carlos may also fare well with
other Northern Dancer strains such as Deputy
Minister, Nureyev, The Minstrel, Lyphard and possibly Sadler’s Wells.
The male line of Unbridled has been popular in
Louisiana, and this looks like a good thing for Custom
for Carlos, whose pedigree suggests he will fit mares
from this line well. Other Mr. Prospector-line strains
that may be worth looking for in mares for Custom for
Carlos include Forty Niner, Gone West, Crafty
Prospector, Machiavellian and possibly Kingmambo
and Conquistador Cielo. In addition, His Majesty
(through sources other than Pleasant Colony), Caro,
Valid Appeal, Secretariat and Blushing Groom appear
to be positive pedigree elements to look for.
“We are really pleased to have Custom for Carlos
here,” says Val Murrell, general manager of Clear
Creek Stud. “He’s a big, grand, good-looking horse,
very well muscled and with good bone and balance.
He’s easy to get along with, too, and he really stamps
his babies. They’re very athletic and have good minds.
That filly that won at Saratoga (Big World), she’s with
Anthony Dutrow and he seems pretty pleased with
her. We’re certainly hoping she’ll go on to bigger
things.”
Murrell believes the future is only going to get
brighter for Custom for Carlos. “We’ve been quite
pleased with his sales results, even though the market
was a bit tighter this year. The nice thing is that I think
his youngsters will be really versatile. They’ve got the
background to race on dirt, turf, whatever. I’m looking
forward to what the next year’s going to bring.”
Custom for Carlos stood the 2015 season at Clear
Creek for $3,500; a 2016 fee has not yet been
announced.

Girl Power
Fillies ruled the ring. Seven of the top ten highest
priced yearlings at the 2015 Breeders Sales
Company of Louisiana Annual Yearling Sale were
all fillies.

H
orse sales are all about hopes and dreams.
Catalogues in hand, red clay over their shoes,
buyers scoured the back stalls of the Ike Hamilton
Expo Center looking for the horse that could be the
one. All had different goals in mind; pin-hooking,
value, the big horse, partnerships. As the auction
began, the rail around the walking ring was packed
with eager buyers.
On September 29th, Louisiana’s premier breeders
came together to offer up some of the best Louisiana
bred yearlings the state has to offer. Sire power dominated the Breeders Sales Company of Louisiana 2015
20
auction. Names such as Afleet Alex, Closing
Argument, Into Mischief, Half Ours, Eskendereya,
Old Fashioned, and Songandaprayer to name a few
were well represented at the sale. The Louisiana Breeders Association has been coming together since 1963 to offer up a chance for any
size racing operation to get involved in the Louisiana
bred program. The barn area of the Ike Hamilton
Expo Center in West Monroe was reconfigured for
this year’s sale. “We took out several stalls in an effort
to allow consignors and buyers more room to operate,” stated Sales Coordinator Tim Boyce, “Ike
Louisiana Horse
Top: Hip 168, the sale topping filly by Half Ours-Frosty Promise, purchased by Virginia Lazenby for $66,000.
Above Left-Right: Victor Arceneaux; Rita Hewett; Frank Bruscato with Cyril Hicks; Curt Leake with Bret
Calhoun; Jake Delhomme with Al Pike.
Hamilton is a great facility with a lot of undercover,
all-weather space and yet over the years it has felt
cramped. Taking out the stalls is something we tried
and it worked.”
186 yearlings passed through the sales ring. Fillies
ruled the ring. The top three hip numbers sold were all
fillies and seven of the top ten highest priced yearlings
were all fillies. Roger G. Smith of Magnolia, Arkansas
secured a $65,000 bay filly from the Pelican State
Thoroughbred consignment. A bay filly out of the
Carson City mare Desert Girl, by Into Mischief, who
stands for $45,000 in Ky. Was seen as a standout by
Fall 2015
her new owner. “This is the only one we were looking
at and the only one I bid on today” said Smith. This
may not be the filly’s last time passing through the
sales ring. The yearling filly was a hot commodity
after previously going through the sales ring at the
OBS August Yearling sale in Florida where she was a
buyback by her breeders for $50,000. Assisting Mr.
Smith with his purchase was advisor Robert Brewer of
Canton, TX. “The plan is to bring her to the farm,
raise and prepare her and then bring her to the Ocala
(Two Year-Old in Training) March sale,” Smith elaborated.

Girl Power continued on when the sales topping
filly dropped the auctioneer’s hammer at $66,000. A
filly by Half Ours, she is a half-sister to Grade 2 winning Icy Atlantic who earned over $990,000 on the
racetrack and Grade 3 winner Wild Promises who
compiled almost $700k while racing. Trainer Oscar
Modica signed the sales ticket for new owner Virginia
Lazenby. Taking their familiar place atop the leading consignors was Clear Creek Stud. The Folsom, Louisiana
farm sold 25 yearlings for gross receipts of $369,200,
including the Half Ours sales-topping filly. That number could have risen higher but the consignment had
11 yearlings for which reserves were not attained. Not
to be out done, Terry Gabriel’s Pelican State
Thoroughbreds as agent had receipts of $269,500 for
16 yearlings who found new owners. There were a
total of 29 different consignors who sold horses at the
one day sale.
Gross receipts for the 120 horses sold were
Fall 2015
$1,110,000 a decline of 29% from 2014, an average
price of $9,250 and a median price of $4,500. As the
buyers became more selective the buy-back rate kept
in line with the national average at 35%. There was an international flavor to this year’s
Breeders Sales Company event as one of the buyers
was 82 year-old Enrique Cantarell. A native of Mexico
City, Cantarell sat in the front row. Diaz purchased ten
yearlings to take back to his home track, Hipodromo
de las Americas to begin their training.
A bonus this year to both Buyers and Sellers is all
horses that passed through the ring are eligible for two
new sale Stakes, yet to be named, which will be held
at Evangeline Downs in 2017. This is in addition to
the annually run Sales Stakes the A.L. “Red” Erwin
Stakes and Elge Rasberry Stakes contested at
Louisiana Downs for Louisiana-bred sale horses.

Memory Lane
by Gary McMillen
1945if you want to go somewhere fast ~
walk alone.
if you want to go far ~ walk with friends.
S
ince his first memory of the racetrack in the winter
of 1945, Danny Cazaubon has been on a long walk
with hundreds of friends and thousands of horses. His
first glimpse and taste of the racetrack life came when
he was 11-years-old. “A bunch of us kids used to congregate around a barn at Fair Grounds,” Cazaubon
recalls. “We were like the Little Rascals. I ended up
walking horses and mucking stalls like it was play
time. On Saturdays the man might throw us a dollar or
two and it was enough for all of us to go to a movie.”
The stable owner of that barn ran all the ice houses
in the city and also had a small bar and restaurant
across from the Baptist Theological Seminary. “There
was a bookie joint in the back. That was his big thing,”
Cazaubon remembers. “Back in those days everybody
bet through a bookie. It was natural. One of my friends
said that his Daddy was a book-keeper. Well, I wasn’t
stupid. I knew what that meant.”

Living with an elderly aunt in the French Quarter,
the young Cazaubon had plenty of room to ramble. The
Desire and Gentilly Street cars were his avenues of
escape. At 81 years of age, Cazaubon can still bring
vivid memories to
the
surface.
“Vegetable

was a bottle of
water, a stick of
butter and a carton
of cream. When she was ready to cook for the day she
would carry her basket down to the market. If you
wanted a live chicken you went to Decatur Street.”
Finding trouble was never a problem for the young
Louisiana Horse
“Every barn was individual. They all looked
different. if you were a sportsman and raced
in New Orleans, the Fair Grounds would give
you a piece of ground and you built your
own barn.”
Cazaubon. “You name it and I got into it. We used to
play in the oak trees at City Park. They had a policeman over there named Joe Schiro, who rode a big
white pony and he used to chase us out of the park. We
would wade across those lagoons to the islands and get
those old sour duck eggs. Then we would sneak over
on Dumaine Street and throw the eggs at the bus and
scatter and run in all directions.”
City boys find a way. Cazaubon learned to swim by
jumping off the Magnolia Bridge over Bayou St. John.
One of Cazaubon’s teen-age buddies was Gene
Schwartz, who would go on to be a clocker for Daily
Racing Form. One afternoon on the corner of Moss and
Esplanade, the boys decided to paint a car. “We had the
car sanded down and ready to paint but nobody could
find any brushes so we ended up using a whisk broom.
Talk about a mess.”
School daze. Cazaubon’s formal education had a
short fuse. He went to Delgado Trade School where he
studied commercial art. “One day I was in class, working on a drawing and the professor asked me how I did
certain textures. That was my last day in school,”
Cazaubon says. “If I have to tell the professor how to
do something then why am I in school?”
From that point forward, Cazaubon would never see

another library or a text book. The horses called and
Cazaubon answered. He went to work at the Fair
Grounds, learning the craft from trainer K.D. Kepplar,
who was an assistant to Marion Van Berg. Jobs as a
groom with trainers Hal Bishop and Tennessee Wright
followed. His progress continued with employment
with Greentree Stable along with a stint with trainer
Moody Jolley when the star stakes horse in the stable
was Ridan. Cazaubon’s big break came in the winter of
1958 when he worked for Alex “Henry” Johnston
(uncle of Eddie Johnston). “We had eleven horses that
winter and won 32 races,” Cazaubon recalls. “When
you were in Henry Johnston’s barn you were expected
to do your job like a professional.”
You have to start somewhere. In the spring of 1959,
the stewards at Jefferson Downs looked the other way
and Cazaubon got his trainer’s license. His stable consisted of two 3-year-old maidens owned by a plumber.
Cazaubon’s first winner was a horse named Russian
Tide that he purchased off the cuff from J.R. Palmisano
for $1500. “The horse had a club foot and he was a
bleeder,” Cazaubon says. “I put him out in a backyard
farm out in Harahan and nursed him back to health.”
The Fair Grounds became Cazaubon’s home base
and he can recall the backstretch environment during
25
the ‘60’s like it
was the back of
his hand. “Every
barn was individual,” Cazaubon
remembers.
“They all looked
different. If you

Colonel Bradley.
They had a huge
tack room and
showers. Joe W. Brown had a big barn he built. They
had grass on the backstretch and you could take a horse
out and graze him. There was a training track on the
other side of Belfort Street. If you wanted to gallop or
school a horse you didn’t have to go to the main track.
Probably nobody knows about that today.”
According to Cazaubon, the Fair Grounds backstretch was functional but far from pretty. “There was
one cinder block barn with 25 stalls that they rented
out. It was so dark back in there that we called it the
Dungeon.”
“There was a track kitchen but you could get breakfast, lunch or dinner at Joe Stokes, Tiny’s, the Belfort
Inn or the Half-Mile Pole on Belfort Street,” Cazaubon
continues. “A plate of red beans cost fifty cents, and
hand writing could get you a job working the board.
All around the neighborhood, the pay phones were in
wooden boxes and somebody came around and put a
lock on them just before the races started.”
Cazaubon describes the front side grandstand.

“There were these huge, multi-framed windows that
they rolled up when the weather was warm. Governor
Earl Long would be down there in his box seat with his
lady friend Blaze Star. She was a dancer on Bourbon
Street. Diamond Jim Brady had his own box on the finish line. There were always a lot of dignitaries at the
track and all the men wore hats or a nice cap.”
Among the cadre of Cazaubon’s closest friends
were some of the top jockeys at Fair Grounds during
the ‘60’s and 70’s. Bobby Ussery, Ray Broussard,
Johnny Heckman and Jimmy Nichols were all on a
first name basis. “Broussard was from Abbeville,
Louisiana and he always had a pocketful of money,”
Cazaubon remembers. “There used to be a roller skating rink on the corner of Gentilly and St. Bernard
Avenue. One particular night we were all in there and
the manager thought we were getting too rowdy and
might hurt somebody. Ray told the manager to put
everybody out and he would pay the tab, and instead of
renting the skates, Ray bought new shoes for all of us.
We skated so long I could hardly walk the next day.”
A horse named Speed Syndrone that he claimed off
trainer Dewey Smith was Cazaubon’s biggest betting
score. Entered in a claiming race that the Racing
Secretary needed to fill, Speed Syndrone was a dead
short horse and well beaten the day that Cazaubon
went in for him. Cazaubon backed off Speed
Syndrone’s training for 30 days, wormed the gelding
and got his blood count up. “When he started putting
on weight I called the owner and told him we had him
in on a Sunday.”
The owner, a self-made millionaire from Houston,
Texas flew in with his entourage and was picked up at
the airport by a private chauffeur. “This guy was a
player,” Cazaubon recalls with a twinkle in his eye.
“The night before the race we had a table the length of
the room at Ruth’s Chris Steak House. Steak and lobster for days. He bet two grand each with bookmakers
in Houston and Hot Springs and worked out a deal to
get track odds on half the bet as long as he agreed to
settle up on Tuesday. Well, the horse wins and paid
$59. My man got paid by a runner that brought the cash
in an attaché case.”
Cazaubon talks with pride about his re-habilitation
of a broke down horse named Inky Way in 1964.
Purchased from a blacksmith, Inky Way was bowed in
both front legs. “The guy said I could have him for
$200 if I took him out of the barn right there on the

Irwin Olian has a tiger by the tail with his stallion

rwin Olian lives in Las Vegas. He
has a gold mining exploration
company in Africa and North
America, an independent art film
distribution company in Los
Angeles, and this year’s Super
Derby winner, Mobile Bay.
Why does a man who obviously
could breed racehorses anywhere
he wants choose to base his operation in Louisiana?
“Louisiana has probably the
most attractive incentive program
for owners and breeders of any
state in the country, with a high
quality of racing,” Olian said. “I felt
as a breeder it made good sense for
me to move the heart and guts of
my program essentially to
Louisiana because of the incentives, because of the quality of racing. There are some wonderful
trainers in Louisiana and some
good professional caretakers.”
That program has produced his
first graded stakes winner in

became the third Louisiana-bred to
win the Grade 2 Super Derby at

Out of Place. Mobile Bay joins
Free Spirit’s Joy (1991) and Vicar’s
in Trouble (2014), as state-bred
winners of the prestigious stakes
for 3-year-olds.
To Olian, the win validates what
he calls “my own little bloodline.”
An entrepreneur
Olian grew up in Highland Park,
IL. Now one of Chicago’s northern
suburbs, at the time much of it was
pasture land and a forest preserve.
Olian learned to ride the hard way.
“For the first couple of years I rode
bareback because we didn’t even
have a saddle,” Olian recalls. “We
had a pony named Silver and another one named Jerry that we shared
with the neighbors. I recall getting
run off with a couple of times.”
He was a riding instructor and
showed briefly before going on to
Princeton and then to Harvard Law
School. Meanwhile, he became
interested in horse racing and took
a summer job as a hot walker for
Irwin Olian
trainer Steve DiMauro at Aqueduct.
After law school Olian moved to
California. “I was conflicted about
whether I wanted to be a businessman or a horse trainer,” he said. He
worked for the late Noble Threewitt
on the weekends and a couple of
mornings during the week, but
decided he was better suited to
business.
At one point, Olian held the
largest exploratory mining operation in Madagascar. He has founded

a couple of biotechnology companies as well as expanding his mining and entertainment interests.
“I view myself as somewhat of a
multi-purpose entrepreneur,” he
said. “When I get really excited
about an idea, I want to try and get
a hold of it, run with the ball and
develop it.” That philosophy perhaps accounts for his incorporation
of racing and breeding on the side.
Sunshine and the
Civil War
Olian’s “little bloodline” began
with an Alydar broodmare called
Chapin. She had lost some foals
and suffered hard luck on the racetrack, but she ended up foaling a
filly by Tactical Advantage named
30
Sunshine Special, “as stunning a
mare as you’ve ever seen,” he said.
Olian sent Sunshine Special to
trainer Nick Zito, and she broke her
maiden by 12 lengths at Belmont in
her first start. But her second start
ended her career, as Sunshine
Special got tangled up in the starting gate and broke her pelvis. She
nearly died of internal bleeding but
recovered to become a broodmare.
Working with trainer Dan Pish in
Texas led Olian to Louisiana, and
Sunshine Special bore a colt named
Lone Star Special, a son of Malabar
Gold by Kentucky Derby winner
Unbridled. Lone Star Special won a
couple of stakes races at Louisiana
Downs before retiring at age 3 due
to injury. He stands at Horse of
Course in Benton for $1,500 (lfsn).
From a few small crops, Lone
Star Special has produced about 70
percent winners from runners,
Olian said. “Lone Star had this
remarkable acceleration. He was
also a good-looking guy.” The same
acceleration is seen when Mobile
Bay goes to the track.
The name Mobile Bay comes
from Olian’s current penchant for
naming horses after Civil War battles. There was indeed a battle of
Mobile Bay in Alabama. Mobile
Bay’s older half-brother is named
Galveston Harbor. Other runners
include First Bull Run and White
Oak swamp.
Olian generally doesn’t race 2year-olds; none of the dozen or so
he currently owns have started.
Neither did Mobile Bay. “He was
given a long time to grow up,” he
said.
Road to the Super Derby
“He’s a very intelligent, sensible
horse. I think the thing that struck
us first about Mobile Bay is his
sheer size is awesome,” Olian said.
The colt barely fits in the starting
gate, ending up with his hindquarLouisiana Horse

ters up against the back of the stall.
Mobile Bay is also known for his
relaxation – he’s often found lying
down in his stall.
His race record under the direction of trainer Victor Arceneaux is
impressively consistent: 5-2-3 from
11 starts at this writing. His only
unplaced performance was a seventh in the Crescent City Derby just
after he broke his maiden.
The colt started winning as the
races got longer. But the eye-opener was his first stakes win, in the
Lafayette Stakes in June at
Evangeline Downs.
As has become usual, Mobile
Bay had been lagging behind. “He
just took off like a rocket,” Olian
said. “He looped the field and drew
himself out very handily. That’s
when I knew we had something
special.”
After winning the Louisiana
Legends Cheval Stakes at
Evangeline, Mobile Bay ran third
in the Super Derby Prelude Stakes
before again blowing by the field
late to win the Super Derby on
Sept. 12. Fifteen days later, he ran

Derby at Louisiana Downs. Hodges Photography / Lynn Roberts
back to be third in the Grade 3
Oklahoma Derby at Remington
Park.
Along the way Mobile Bay
picked up Edgar Prado as his jockey. Olian said Diego Saenz had
done a great job but was injured.
Olian hopes to use Prado again for
the colt’s next race, which may be
the Zia Park Derby in New Mexico
on Nov. 25 or the Grade 1
Hollywood Derby at Santa Anita on
the turf Nov. 28. Mobile Bay has
already won on the turf.
“Keep your eye on the other
Lone Star Special babies,” Olian
said. “There are some 2-year-olds
that look extremely promising, and
we’re very excited about them. I
think group is going to be my best
group of Lone Stars to date.”
In all, Olian owns 20 mares
(some of them rescues) and 14
babies, about half of which are by
Lone Star Special. He has 15 horses at the track, split between
Arceneaux and Pish. There are also
about a dozen 2-year-olds and 10
yearlings. Horses not racing are
with John Doherty at Horse of
Course in Benton, where Lone Star
Special stands.
Olian said even his “mediocre”
mares have nice Lone Star Special
foals. He hopes Mobile Bay will
become a top handicap horse. Olian
said his success with Mobile Bay
and other Louisiana breds proves
that no one needs to spend a fortune
in Kentucky on a six-figure broodmare and an equally high stud fee.
“I develop these horses with
good, sensible breeding decisions
and highly professional, dedicated
trainers. My horses are treated right
from the day they’re born.”

WINNING
Karl Broberg hates losing. Luckily for him that doesn’t happen
often making him one of the leading trainers in North America
by Gary McMillen
I
t’s a windy day at
Wrigley Field and the
Chicago Cubs are playing gorilla ball against
the St. Louis Cardinals
in Game 3 of the
National
League
Championship series.
Karl Broberg, North
America’s leading thoroughbred trainer by
number of wins for the
past two years, has
reserved seats eight
rows up from the first
base line to celebrate a
day at the ball park with
his father. In the bottom
of the seventh inning,
the pitch count of the St.
Louis relief pitcher has
yet to catch up with the
number of Old Style
draft beers that father
and son have consumed.
“We’re on a liquid
diet,” Broberg explains.
“This is as close as it gets to me
taking a vacation. There is no racing today at Remington Park and
my Dad is an avid Cubs fan so I
thought now was the time.”
Prodigal son returns a favor.
Broberg’s first memory of a race
Fall 2015
track was when his father (a factory
worker for an engineering company) pulled him out of school one
afternoon and took him out to
Arlington Park. “I guess I was in
the third grade,” Broberg remembers. “I was mesmerized immediately. There were so many different
things in play all at once.
I just couldn’t get enough
of all that color, noise
and activity. Combine
that with the possibility
of making a couple of
dollars just added to the
excitement.”
The seed was planted
and by junior high was
beginning to sprout. For
the young Broberg,
whose report card had
begun to show more consonants than vowels, the
racetrack had become
intoxication. “The handicapping aspect of the
sport is what grabbed my
attention,” Broberg says.
“It was more than just
interesting. It was a challenge.”
When he was 18-years
old the family moved to
Oklahoma. The junction
of time would prove to be
a tipping point. The state of
Oklahoma had just allowed legalization of pari-mutuel wagering
and Broberg was anxious to prove
himself at the betting windows.
Conditions were ripe and Broberg,

Broberg is committed to applying common sense and the little
things you can control that can shift
the odds in your favor. Street smarts
resulted in his next enlightenment.
Broberg hired a couple of additional trainers and then compared the
vet bills. “It was ridiculous compared to what expenditures I was
used to with Locke. The only way I
was going to be able to stay in the
sport was if I trained myself. The
vet bills were just going to eat me
up.”
Over the past five years, Broberg
has dominated the trainer standings
at multiple tracks but nothing like
the 2015 meet at Evangeline
Downs where he won 98 races from
228 starters. The final number was
twice that of his closest competitor.
Broberg trained horses earned
$1,262,732 during the 84 day meet.
A dog forced into a corner is
dangerous and Broberg, who has
made his reputation by proving a
point, came out swinging. “With
very little notice, my assistant trainer decided to go out on his own just
before the meet started,” Broberg
says. “It was an absolute surprise. I
was caught off guard.”
“I made a decision that it was
time for us to put our best foot forward and make a statement,” he
says. “I brought in Abel Ramirez
from Oaklawn Park as my assistant
and jumped into the claim box with
both feet. I was bound and determined to have the best meet possible....People were talking about
how things would spiral down. I
knew that we would be alright. I
just wanted everybody else to know
we were going to stay around.”
There is a possibility that trainer
Karl Broberg will be coming to a
race track near you. His long range
goals are to expand to other racing
venues. “I don’t see myself ever
being the leading trainer at Fair
Grounds,” he says, “because I
invest so much of our effort at Delta
Downs. I would sell my soul to win
a race at Delta. When you have two
tracks running at the same time in
close proximity to each other it
makes better economic sense to
choose your battlefield.”
Married with five children and a
home in Arlington, Texas, Broberg
has been making appearances at
recent horse sales. Do not be
thrown off the scent. Racing
remains the singular focus. “I have
very limited dollars to approach the
sales,” Broberg states. “I don’t
waste my time dreaming about
things that aren’t there. When
opportunities present themselves,
we will go after it. As a trainer I am
tied to what the owners are willing
to spend. When your client is three
guys that have put up $4,000 a
piece that is not going to have any
leverage at a sale.”
Broberg does not suffer from
lack of confidence and the
Evangeline Downs performance
validated his system. “Our goal
from the very beginning was to be
king of the cheap stuff. The caliber
of the racing does not matter to us.
We just want to do the best we can
with what we have and help our
owners show a profit. Sure, it was a
great meet and it was fun but it’s
not so much that we get excited
about winning. We just hate losing.
We were less miserable than what
we normally are,” Broberg says
with a smile.

LOUISIANA
HORSE RESCUE
By Patrick Richmond
Hay Hay Hay!
I
t is that time of year, and all of
us at Louisiana Horse Rescue
Association are wondering how
many horses we will have to prepare for this winter. Every year, we
at LHRA have a hay drive (perhaps way less fun than a hay ride,
but highly important to us) that
allows us to feed our herd some
much-needed roughage through
the winter. Hay is not the only
thing that we can’t survive without, but it is one of the things we
need most in the winter. If you
have ever been interested in helping us out, now is a great time to
do so. Contributions to our LHRA
hay drive can be made by visiting
our website, and if you have actual hay that you are willing to bring
us we’ll take that too.
LHRA also has a “Home for the
Holidays” adoption drive going on
from November through December that allows us to adopt out
horses by waiving adoption fees
for approved families, making this
the perfect time of year for supporters and anyone wanting to
adopt one of our horses to take
action. If you or anyone you know
is looking for a really great horse
companion, NOW is the time!
As President of LHRA, I
always am greatly humbled by the
outpouring of support for our
organization. I have a great deal of
people to thank, possibly starting
Fall 2015
with my wife Victoria for putting
up with all of the extra horses
around here and the seemingly
constant website development
work! My board of directors,
including the volunteer weekend
hours put in by our accountant
Therese Arroyo and our intrepid
Vice-President and SecretaryTreasurer Michele Rodriguez, the
good folks at the Louisiana Racing
Commission and the Louisiana
Horsemen’s Benevolent and
Protective Association for helping
us expand and operate our rescue
fundraising and racing contributions, the officials at our four great
Louisiana racetracks, the LTBA,
Louisiana Horse Magazine and
last but not least the LSU School
of Veterinary Medicine for having
our back on everything we ever
asked them for.
I would like to specifically
thank the LTBA for helping us
with the Champion’s Day auction.
If you would like to donate to the
auction, please contact Michele
Rodriguez 504-481-2898.
These people are part of our allvolunteer organization that allow
us to use 100% of your donations
to buy food and medicine for the
horses in our care. But the
absolute most important group of
people that I am thankful for is
YOU, our supporters who selflessly send us the funds we need to
feed our horses.
We appreciate you more than
you will ever know and we spend
your money very wisely – just ask
all of the horses in our care. Well
maybe all of them except 8-ball.
He has been asking for a new pink
halter autographed by Tom Early
and I just don’t see that happening
for him.
Please look us up at our website,
www.louisianahorserescue.com or
our Facebook page, www.facebook.com/lhra1 where we have
over 17,000 supporters who help
us to get our message out and promote adoptions for our horses.

for the 2015 foaling season.
"The breeding statistics are the
number of live foals by conception
area, regardless of where the foals
were born," said Matt Iuliano, The
Jockey Club's executive vice president and executive director. "The
statistics do not represent live foals
actually born in each state or
province, and they do not represent
the fertility record of any stallion."

Kentucky annually leads all
states and provinces in terms of
Thoroughbred breeding activity.
Kentucky-based stallions accounted for 45.9% of the mares reported

bred in North America in 2013 and
53.6% of the live foals reported for
2014.
The 17,088 mares reported bred

J. MICHAEL EARLY,
J. Michael Early, died Wednesday, Aug. 26. He was 99.
A New Orleans native, John Michael Early was a Jesuit High
School graduate who received undergraduate and law degrees from
Loyola University. After working for two decades as a lawyer, he
started his broadcasting career at age 45, when WWL's then-owners,
the Jesuits of Loyola, gave him management of the local CBS affiliate at a time when local NBC affiliate WDSU was the legacy local ratings champion. WWL's broadcast partners at the time were WWL
AM-870 and WLMG FM- 101.9.
Mr. Early eventually led WWL-TV to a ratings winning streak
unparalleled in the TV industry, which continues today. According to
WWL's obituary, awards won by the station during his time there
included two national Edward R. Murrow Awards for overall excellence, and five George Foster Peabody Awards. Personal honors
included 1993 induction into the New Orleans Broadcasting Hall of
Fame, a Press Club of New Orleans Lifetime Achievement Award in
1994, and Jesuit High School's 1990 Alumnus of the Year.
In the late 1980s and he engineered a rare employee-ownership
deal, creating Rampart Broadcasting. The station was later sold to
Belo Corp., then Gannett, the broadcasting division of which is
known as TEGNA.
In an August 1998 story marking Mr. Early's retirement from the
station at age 82,
His wife of more than 65 years, Leah Cohen Early, died in 2006.
Survivors include four sons, Mike, Robert, and Brian Early, all of
New Orleans, and Thomas Early of Folsom; six daughters, Leah Held,
Maureen Dehon, Colleen Hoover, Kathleen DeVaughn and Patricia
Laird, all of New Orleans, and Therese Larrabee of St. Paul, Minn.; a
brother, Judge Thomas Early of New Orleans; a sister, Jacqueline
Garic of Folsom; 30 grandchildren; and 27 great-grandchildren.

Louisiana Commission
Adopts RMTC Rules
The
Louisiana
Racing
Commission accepted the Racing
Medication Testing Consortium’s
model rules for medication. The
rules will go into effect for
Thoroughbreds beginning in
October.
The rules, which have already
been accepted in part or in full by
15 other states, guide the use of 26
therapeutic medications deemed
acceptable to use in racing
52
Thoroughbreds, along with established thresholds intended to prevent those medications from altering performance. Furosemide is the
only drug permitted to be administered on race day.
For Louisiana racing, the rule
adoption will tighten rules guiding
the use of anti-inflammatory drugs
and clenbuterol, among other
changes.
Texas to Keep Historical
Racing
The Texas Racing Commission
voted to reject a motion to repeal
regulations that would permit historical racing wagering machines at
racetracks under its jurisdiction.
The commission’s approval last
August of historical racing – which
began in 2000 at Oaklawn Park in
Arkansas under the name Instant
Racing and currently exists in several other states, including
Kentucky – led to a firestorm of
criticism from some Texas lawmakers, including powerful state Sen.
Jane Nelson.
Nelson, as a member of the
Legislative Budget Board, earlier
this year pushed to withhold funding from the Texas Racing
Commission that would effectively
close the regulatory agency and
shut down horse racing when the
new fiscal year began Sept. 1. As a
result of that move, commissioners
felt they were being pressured to
repeal the language approving and
regulating historical racing, and in
June they set the wheels in motion
for a repeal vote. However, the
commission voted 4 to 3 to reject
the historical racing repeal, with
one abstention.
Louisiana Horse
In a separate motion, the commissioners voted to formally
request that the Legislative Budget
Board release the budgetary funds
it is withholding. The racing industry fully funds the racing commission, with the Legislative Budget
Board acting as a pass-through
agency.
Oaklawn purses up
Oaklawn has released Condition
Book 1 for its live race meet that
begins Jan. 15, 2016 featuring the
richest purses in track history for
the eighth consecutive year.
Maiden Special Weights will be
worth $68,000, an $8,000 increase
over where they started in 2015,
and open allowance races will be
worth as much as $75,000, a $9,000
increase over where they started
last year. The minimum purse will
be $21,000 in 2016, up $3,000 from
2015.
Overall, Oaklawn is projecting
total purses of $27 million with an
average daily distribution of
$475,000 per day. This is a 12%
increase over the 2015 meet and a
76% increase over where purses
were when the streak of increases
began in 2008.
Oaklawn, which had previously
announced a record $7.55 million
stakes schedule in 2016, will open
Friday, Jan. 15 and run through
Saturday, April 16.

Equine Sales Company held its
annual open yearling and mixed
sale on Sunday in Opelousas,
Louisiana. A total of 128 head sold
for $418,000 with an average of
$3,266. Buy-backs came in at
32.6% with 62 not sold from 190

Those results were off from last

still significantly above the 2013
auction when 98 sold for $232,700
and an average of $2,374.
"I felt we had a good catalog
going in," said Sales Director

TTA Announces 2-YearOld Sale and Changes to
Sales Futurity
The
Texas
Thoroughbred
Association has announced the
establishment of a 2- year-olds in
training sale to be held next April at
Lone Star Park. The auction will be
similar to the one held by FasigTipton Texas in previous years.
“We are excited to be continuing
the tradition of Thoroughbred sales
in Texas,” said Mary Ruyle, executive director of the TTA. “We were
unsuccessful in bringing back the
summer yearling sale after FasigTipton decided to leave the state,
but the 2-year-old sale has always
been the strongest in the region and
we expect that to continue.”
The sale will be operated by the
TTA and managed by Tim Boyce,
who formerly ran the sale for FasigTipton Texas.
KEE Sept Sale Tops
2008 Record
Keeneland’s September Yearling
Sale closed Saturday, Sept. 26, following nearly two weeks of robust
trade that generated solid gains led
by a record equaling median price
and the sale of 11 seven-figure
yearlings. Results reflect a continued trend toward stability in the
Thoroughbred market.
Gross receipts for the 12-day
sale, held Sept. 14-26, totaled
$281,496,100, surpassing total
sales of $279,960,500 recorded
during last year’s 13-day auction.
Keeneland sold 2,745 yearlings this
year compared to 2,819 in 2014.
The
cumulative
average
increased 3.26 percent, from
$99,312 to $102,549. The median,
a key gauge of a healthy market,
remained unchanged from the
record $50,000 posted in 2013 and
2014.
The gross was the highest at a
Keeneland September Yearling Sale
since 2008, when 3,605 sold for
$327,999,100. The average was the
highest since the $112,427 average
in 2006.
There were 879 yearlings that
failed to find new buyers of the
3,624 through the ring, a buyback
rate of 24.3 percent. Last year, the
buyback percentage was 21.8 (787
of 3,606). The 2015 clearance rate
(percentage that sold from the number catalogued, accounting for the
outs and RNAs) was 65.9, compared to 67.6 percent in 2014.
Buyers continued to be selective
in their purchases, as evidenced by
the strength at the top of the market. Eleven yearlings commanded
$1 million or more compared to 13
Louisiana Horse
last year. A colt by leading North
American sire Tapit brought the
sale-topping price of $2.1 million.
For the second consecutive year,
Keeneland has sold the highestpriced horse offered at public auction in North America.
Those 11 seven-figure yearlings
were bought by 10 different entities, a positive indication that the
money was spread among a number
of buyers.
The upper middle market
remained strong as 123 horses sold
for $400,000 or more and spanned
Books 1-4 versus 121 horses in the
same range sold in Books 1-2 in
2014. Further evidence of the sale’s
strong performance was the fact
that in 10 of the 12 sessions, the
highest-priced yearling exceeded
the top price of the corresponding
session last year.
Ben Glass, racing manager and
bloodstock adviser to Gary and
Mary West. bought 26 yearlings for
$5,550,000 to lead all buyers in
number of horses purchased.
Leading North American sire
Tapit reigned as top sire by gross at
the September Sale for the second
consecutive year, represented by 32
yearlings that totaled $16,860,000.
Yearlings by Tapit fetched the two
highest prices of the sale: One from
the family of 1988 Kentucky Derby
(G1) winner Winning Colors sold
to Mandy Pope for $2.1 million,
and a second out of multiple Grade
1 winner Pure Clan went for $1.65
million to Lael Stable.
A full sister to Grade 1 stakes
winners To Honor and Serve and
Angela Renee commanded $1.5
million from Justin Zayat to be the
sale’s highestpriced filly.
All three yearlings were consigned by Gainesway, which stands
Tapit, and all sold on the third day
of Book 1.
Taylor Made Sales Agency was
the sale’s leading consignor, selling
256 yearlings for $32,822,200.
Since 1988, Taylor Made has
topped the September Sale consignor list 17 times.

CDI Completes Purchase
of Stake in Saratoga
Harness
Churchill Downs Incorporated
(NASDAQ: CHDN) (CDI or
Company) and Saratoga Harness
Racing, Inc. (SHRI) have completed the previously announced transaction whereby CDI has acquired a
25 percent membership interest in
Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC
(SCH) for approximately $24.8
million.
SCH is a newly-formed entity
that includes Saratoga Casino and
Raceway in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
and a 50 percent interest in a joint
venture with Delaware North
Companies to manage the Gideon
Putnam Hotel and Resort in
Saratoga Springs, N.Y. Saratoga
Casino and Raceway includes the
$40 million hotel expansion under
construction and scheduled to open
late spring 2016. The purchase
price remains subject to final
adjustments for SCH’s working
capital related to the transferred
New York operations.
Given that regulatory approvals
for the transfer of SHRI’s controlling interest in Saratoga Casino
Black Hawk in Black Hawk, Colo.
are expected to require several
more months, CDI and SHRI have
amended their purchase agreement
to split the closing of their transaction for SHRI’s New York and
Colorado properties.

among the lawmakers attempting to make
the changes permanent. On Oct. 12 he said
he has reintroduced the Race Horse Cost
Recovery Act, which would make threeyear depreciation of racehorses the norm
rather than seven years; and the Equine
Tax Parity Act, which would permanently
reduce the capital gains treatment of racehorses to 12 months rather than 24.
The bills would amend the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986. Fiscal impact projections aren't attached to the bills, and the

Trade Deal Helps Bloodstock
Exchange
After five years of tough negotiation, a
new trade agreement among 12 Pacific
Rim countries including the United States
and Japan was drafted earlier in October.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership would
affect regulations and taxes on horses
imported to Japan, according to the
Japanese Ministry of Agriculture.
Currently importers of foals, yearlings,
2-year-olds in training, and pregnant
mares are required to pay ¥3.4 million
($28,175) per horse, regardless of the
horse's value. The tax on mares will disappear when the TPP goes into effect,
though the ratification process is expected
to take about two years.
The import tax on young horses will be
decreased annually over a 16-year period
until it, too, is eliminated.
In 2014 Japan imported 31 in-foal
mares from the United States, while 39
mares were imported from countries that
will not participate in the TTP, such as the
United Kingdom, Ireland, and France. As
the import tax on broodmares from those
European countries will remain, the TPP

Antibiotic-resistant gene
discovered in soil bacterium that commonly
infects foals
A research team based in the
University of Georgia College of
Veterinary Medicine has discovered a novel gene—erm(46)—that
confers antibiotic resistance in
Rhodococcus equi, a soil-dwelling
bacterium that commonly infects
foals and causes opportunistic
infections in immunocompromised
people. The finding was made in
collaboration with researchers at
the University of Edinburgh, Texas
A&M
University
and
the
University of Washington.
Rhodococcus equi is one of the
most important causes of disease in
foals between 3 weeks and 5
months of age, said team lead Dr.
Steeve Giguère, the Marguerite
Thomas Hodgson Chair of Equine
Studies at UGA and a board-certified large animal internal medicine
specialist.
The researchers sequenced the
genomes of antibiotic-resistant and
antibiotic-susceptible R. equi isolates collected from foals in four
states. They searched each isolate’s
genome for genes with similar
sequences to known genes that
cause bacterial resistance to the
macrolide class of antibiotics in
other bacterial species. Through
their search, they discovered the
new gene, named erm(46) by the
Nomenclature Center for MLS
Genes at the University of
Washington.
When the team cloned erm(46)
into susceptible R. equi isolates
normally inhibited by antibiotics,
they found that erm(46) induced a
high level of resistance to
macrolide, lincosamide and streptogramin B antibiotics. They also
58
found that the gene can be transferred from resistant to susceptible
isolates during bacterial mating.
Their finding, recently published
in the Journal of Antimicrobial
Chemotherapy, is the first molecular characterization of resistance to
these three classes of antibiotics in
R. equi.
So far, Giguère and his team
have identified antibiotic-resistant
R. equi isolates carrying erm(46) in
New York, Florida, Texas and
Kentucky—where, on one farm
producing 100 to 170 foals a year,
as many of 40 percent of infected
foals were found to carry resistant
isolates.
The bacterium is present in soil
year-round, but because it typically
causes disease only in foals up to 5
or 6 months of age, illnesses typically manifest in spring and summer.
“It is believed that most foals
become infected through inhalation
of R. equi within the first few
weeks of life, and they start showing clinical signs of pneumonia
between 3 weeks and 5 or 6 months
of age,” said Giguère.
People may come into contact
with R. equi on farms, while gardening or during other activities
that disturb dirt; however, it typically only causes infection in
immunocompromised individuals.
Not all R. equi causes disease in
foals. A piece of DNA located outside the chromosome, called a plasmid, is responsible for making R.
equi virulent in foals. Variations on
this plasmid can be found in pigs
and also cattle.
The spread of drug-resistant R.
equi may be a growing problem,
Giguère said. “It’s something that
was unheard of 15 years ago, and
now we’ve found it in multiple
states. We need to conduct a welldesigned epidemiological study to
really know the prevalence of resistant isolates across the country.”
The team’s study on “Novel
transferable erm(46) determinant
responsible for emerging macrolide
resistance in Rhodococcus equi” is
available at https://jac.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2015/09/15/j
