Celebrate richer days ahead
by Jeffrey A. Cannizzo, Executive Director
New York Thoroughbred Breeders Inc.
Just about the time you read this, the Genting
Resorts World New York Casino will be opening
its doors for business at Aqueduct. It only seems
fitting to take this opportunity to reflect on the
monumental significance of this development—
and to celebrate.
The opening of the Aqueduct casino ushers
in what is nothing less than a completely new
era for the New York Thoroughbred industry. At
last—after ten years of waiting—New York’s
breeders, owners, and horsemen will reap the
benefits of a steady, reliable stream of significant revenue from video lottery terminals.
First and foremost, you may have already heard
the exciting announcement from the Breeding
and Development Fund about the 50% increase
in breeders’ awards and hike in award caps.

purse structure for the Aqueduct meeting.
If you have followed the fortunes of New Yorkbred yearlings in the 2011 sales, you have seen
double-digit increases in the average price, median price, and clearance rate over last year. It
would be astonishing if the same across-theboard improvements did not carry over into the
weanling, short yearling, and two-year-old markets in 2012.
Additionally, there was the recent announcement by NYRA that total purses for the 2012
winter/spring meeting at Aqueduct will increase
by approximately $8.6-million, or 36%.
Here are the nuts and bolts of the projected
purse hikes for state-bred races:
Condition
Maiden special weight, sprint
Maiden special weight, route
Allowance N1X, sprint

Even before this big news from the Fund, you have already seen
two other important benefits of the effect of the Aqueduct casino
at work, namely a dramatic increase in the value of the horses
you have bred and a hike in the New York Racing Association

Aside from the obvious direct benefits to winning owners, increased purses will mean larger awards for breeders, owners,
and stallion owners, and larger fields, which in turn will increase
the daily handle on which Fund revenue is based.
I fully expect that the first quarter of 2012 will continue to
bring nothing but good industry news for the foal crop of 2012
that you will be bringing into the world, and for the foal crop
of 2013 that you are planning right now. I hope you find a moment to join me in celebration.

Bluegrass Cat joins Vinery N.Y. roster
Stallions, including Giant Surprise, shifting to Sugar Maple
In a significant expansion, Vinery New York is bringing top
second-crop sire Bluegrass Cat to New York in a partnership with
WinStar Farm. As part of a reorganization, the Vinery New York
stallions will be based at Sugar Maple Farm in Poughquag and
will be joined for 2012 by newcomer Giant Surprise.
By Storm Cat out the A.P. Indy mare She’s a Winner, Bluegrass
Cat ranked fourth on the THOROUGHBRED TIMES list of leading second-crop sires on October 10 with $3,759,634 in 2011 progeny
earnings. His leading earner with $559,096 is 2010 JPMorgan Chase
Jessamine Stakes winner Kathmanblu, who subsequently finished
third in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G2). At three, the
filly finished third in the Central Bank Ashland Stakes (G1).
“We identified Bluegrass Cat as a top stallion and approached
WinStar with the idea of partnering. We wanted to give the New
York breeders another reason to stay home, and have the type
of stallion that Kentucky breeders will follow,” Vinery President
Tom Ludt said.
“At only eight years old, Bluegrass Cat has it all—race record,
looks, and one of the best pedigrees in the stud book. Already at
stud, he has several current graded stakes runners, big books, and
a lot of foals in the pipeline. So we feel like everything is in place
for him to be the leading sire in New York for many years to come.”
Bred and raced by WinStar, Bluegrass Cat stood the 2011 season for a $25,000 live-foal fee at WinStar in Versailles, Kentucky.
No fee has been announced for the 2012 breeding season.
On the racetrack, Bluegrass Cat was a graded stakes winner
at two and three. In his third career start, he won Belmont Park’s
2005 Nashua Stakes (G3) and then scored in the Remsen Stakes
(G2) at Aqueduct. At three, he finished second in the Kentucky
Derby Presented by Yum! Brands (G1) to Barbaro and was second in the Belmont Stakes (G1). In his next start, he won the
Haskell Invitational Stakes (G1) at Monmouth Park by seven
lengths and concluded his career with a second-place finish behind Bernardini in the Travers Stakes (G1).
WinStar bred all-time leading New York-bred earner Funny
Malloy reigns again as
TOBA’s breeder of the year
The Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association has
crowned Vivien G. Malloy, owner of Edition Farm, as its New
York state breeder of the year for 2010.
She previously had won the TOBA award
in 2007. TOBA announced its 2010 state
awards in September.
Malloy and Edition were represented in
2010 by A Shin Forward, who won a Group
1 race in Japan late last year and became
the second-leading New York-bred earner
with career purses of $3,399,788. Edition
has two properties, Edition Farm in WacVIVIEN MALLOY

Cide, and its executives are looking forward to making another
big impression in the Empire State.
“We’re ready to make a big splash in New York,” said Elliott
Walden, WinStar’s president and chief executive officer. “It’s a
market we’ve looked at with great interest for some time now
because of the unlimited potential. Going into New York with a
top-caliber stallion like Bluegrass Cat and partnering with an established forerunner in New York like Vinery fit the bill for us.”
He said WinStar planned to breed as many mares to Bluegrass
Cat in New York as it did in Kentucky.
“Here is an example of the excitement already in New York:
In five seconds [owner-breeder] Mike Repole said he was in,”
Walden said.
Repole, who campaigns current top three-year-olds Uncle Mo
and Stay Thirsty, will be sending his Giant Surprise to the Vinery
operation at Sugar Maple. A two-year-old by Giant’s Causeway
out of Twisted Sis, by A.P. Indy, Giant Surprise won his only career start, a 41⁄4-length victory in a Saratoga Race Course maiden
special weight race. He sustained a nondisplaced condylar fracture in his left foreleg and was retired. Giant Surprise will stand
for $3,500 in 2012.
“He has a great pedigree and would have had unlimited potential,” Repole said. “I will support him with my own mares
and am very excited about the future of the New York breeders
program. I am so excited about the future prospect of racing in
New York and in the New York breeders program that I’ve also
become a minority partner in Bluegrass Cat.”
Vinery will be consolidating its New York stallion operation
at Sugar Maple in 2012. Joining Bluegrass Cat and Giant Surprise there will be current leading New York sire Posse, Frost
Giant, and Friendly Island.
Empire Stud, where the Vinery stallions had been based, will
be utilized for boarding. Dan Hayden, longtime manager of Sugar
Maple, has been named Vinery’s general manager of New York
operations. Howard and Susan Kaskel’s Sugar Maple became a
part of the Vinery operation in February.

NYRA outlines purse increases for
2012 Aqueduct winter-spring meet
Longtime New York
stallion D’Accord dies
Barbara Livingston photo
D’Accord, a mainstay of New York breeding for many years,
was euthanized on October 3 due to the infirmities of old age.
He was 32 and spent the final years of his life at Akindale Thoroughbred Rescue in Pawling after being pensioned from stud
duty in 1998.
By Secretariat and
out of Canadian Horse
of the Year and champion broodmare Fanfreluche, D’Accord was
bred in Virginia by
Bertram and Diana
Firestone, who raced
him. He was a full
brother to Canadian
champion Medaille
D’ACCORD
d’Or and a half brother
to two-time Canadian Horse of the Year L’Enjoleur, multiple Canadian champion La Voyageuse, and stakes winner Grand Luxe.
On the racetrack, D’Accord won half of his ten career starts, including a71⁄2-length victory in the 1981 Breeders’ Futurity (G2) at
Keeneland Race Course. He earned $163,368.
D’Accord spent most of his stallion career in New York. From
15 crops, he sired 219 winners from 284 starters, with progeny
earnings of $15,307,000. His best was multiple Grade 2 winner
North East Bound, whose ten career stakes victories include the
2000 Meadowlands Cup Handicap (G2) and the 2001 Maker’s
Mark Mile Stakes (G2). North East Bound finished a close second in the 2000 Breeders’ Cup Mile (G1) at Churchill Downs.
His leading New Yorkers were the fillies Lady D’Accord and
Warfie, both of whom were bred by John Hettinger and raced by
his Akindale Farm. Lady D’Accord won the Bed o’ Roses Handicap (G2) in 1992 and ’93, and Warfie won the 1989 Long Island
Handicap (G2).

NEW YORK BREEDER November 2011
The new purse structure pays a premium to horses racing
over a distance of ground. Overnight stakes, the highest level
outside the stakes schedule, went for $60,000 this year. Next
year, distance overnight stakes will be offer $80,000, a onethird increase, and sprints will go for $75,000,
a 25% increase.
The increases include New York-bred racing.
Maiden special weights for New York-breds will
increase to $55,000 from $39,000 for route races,
a 41% jump, and sprints will go from $38,000
to $50,000, a 31.6% boost.
At the first allowance level, New York-bred distance races will grow from $41,000 to $57,000,
a 39.2% increase, and sprints will rise 30%, from $41,000 to
$52,000. Second-level allowances will have similar increases,
from $43,000 to $59,000 for distance races (37.2%), and from
$42,000 to $54,000 for sprints (28.5%).
In all categories, the New York-bred purse will be $10,000 less
per race than its open counterpart.
McClain named NYRA’s
chief operating officer
Ellen McClain, who has been the New York Racing Association’s senior vice president chief financial officer since July 2009,
has been promoted to executive vice president and chief operating officer.
McClain succeeded Harold G.
“Hal” Handel, who retired at the end
of the Saratoga Race Course meet.
In her former position, McClain restructured NYRA’s financial operation to streamline financial reporting,
cash management, and compliance.
“In her two years with NYRA,
Ellen has become a key member of
the senior management team and
has developed a deep appreciation ELLEN MCCLAIN
and knowledge of Thoroughbred
racing,” NYRA President Charles Hayward said.
“Her superlative analytical abilities and management skills
will help us take advantage of the great opportunities we have
to transform the business and result in the best racing experience for all industry stakeholders.”
Before joining NYRA, McClain had 20 years of experience in
media finance and operations, including board membership with
the Media Financial Management Association and the National
Association of Black Owned Broadcasters. She holds a master’s
degree in business administration from the Harvard Graduate
School of Business Administration (1993) and a bachelor’s degree in economics from Brown University (1986).
“Now that long-term funding from video lottery terminals will
soon be available, NYRA is in a position to pursue its growth
strategy and make substantial improvements and investments
in the racing program,” McClain said.

The New York Racing Association announced in late September that purses for Aqueduct’s winter-spring meeting will
increase 36% over the comparable meet this year.
New York-bred purses also will rise in a total increase that
NYRA estimated at $8.6-million.
The meet will be the first one benefiting directly
from gaming revenue from the new Resorts World
New York Casino at Aqueduct, which was scheduled to open on October 28. “The 2012 winterspring meet marks a new era for our purse structures,”
said NYRA President Charles Hayward, who noted
that purses receive 6.5% of gross win from the video
lottery terminals in the first year. “Increased purses
will help bring more top owners, trainers, and horses to our
tracks, create larger fields for our customers to wager on, and
generate higher handle for our races.”
Average daily distribution will be approximately $375,000, an increase of $100,000 from last year’s meet. Aqueduct’s winter-spring
meeting in 2011 paid an average purse of $33,085 over 663 races.

GIANT VICTORY
New York-bred Giant Ryan picks up his first Grade 1 victory on a sloppy track in the Vosburgh
Invitational Stakes on October 1
Two days, two Grade 1 wins
New Yorkers also rack up Grade 2 and Grade 3 victories in eight-day span
by Don Clippinger
New York-breds achieved one of the finest weekends in memory in early October when they won two Grade 1 races and
added a Grade 3 victory for good measure. That spree followed
a Grade 2 victory on the preceding weekend.
Giant Ryan scored his first Grade 1 victory with a brilliant upset
victory in the historic Vosburgh Invitational Stakes at Belmont
Park on October 1. The following day and a continent away, twoyear-old filly star Weemissfrankie won her second Grade 1 race
when she prevailed in the Oak Leaf Stakes at Santa Anita Park.
Also on October 2, Flying Zee Stable’s Pure Gossip crushed
her opponents in the Miss Grillo Stakes (G3) at Belmont. (For
more on Pure Gossip and the Miss Grillo, please turn to the
Pedigree Profile on page 14.)
Two New Yorkers won as longshots—Pure Gossip at odds of
23.10-to-1 in the Miss Grillo and Future Prospect at odds of
18.20-to-1 when winning the $200,000 WinStar Kentucky Cup
Stakes (G2) at Turfway Park on September 24—while
Weemissfrankie was favored at 9-to-5 in the Oak Leaf.
A Giant victory
Giant Ryan carried a big winning streak into the $350,000
Vosburgh, but the conditions appeared to be against him. Heavy
rains in the 24 hours prior to the race had made the track
muddy, and horsemen said it became more holding as the gray
afternoon progressed.
Bettors into Belmont’s huge national wagering pool (more
12
NEW YORK BREEDER November 2011
than $1.9-million in play on the Vosburgh alone) also concluded that conditions were stacked against Giant Ryan. He
was dismissed at odds of 12.20-to-1, the fifth-longest odds
among seven pari-mutuel interests, despite carrying a streak
of five victories heading into the historic six-furlong sprint.
In his previous start, Shivananda Parbhoo’s five-year-old
New York-bred had won a free pass into the $1.5-million Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) with a neck score in the
Smile Sprint Handicap (G2) at Calder Race Course on July 9.
Giant Ryan certainly quieted the naysayers, however, with a
brilliant half-length Vosburgh victory that propelled him into
serious consideration for the Breeders’ Cup race at Churchill
Downs on November 5.
Ridden by Cornelio Velasquez, Giant Ryan went to the lead
at the start from the fifth post position, set a solid pace, and
easily repelled the dogged challenge of Force Freeze to collect
his first Grade 1 victory.
The Freud horse set honest fractions throughout—:22.10 for
the first quarter-mile and :44.36 for the half—before winning
in 1:09.10 under moderate right-handed pressure from
Velasquez.
Giant Ryan’s Vosburgh score was the third Grade 1 victory
of the year for New York-bred runners, following Mission Approved in the Woodford Reserve Manhattan Handicap in June
and Weemissfrankie in the Del Mar Debutante in September.
Several factors probably were involved in the thinking of bet-
Giant Ryan certainly quieted his
naysayers with a brilliant half-length
Vosburgh victory that propelled him into
serious consideration for the $1.5-million
Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint at
Churchill Downs on November 5.
Giant Ryan also likes to run on or near the pace, and that
also figured into Giant Ryan’s Vosburgh game plan.
“If he couldn’t lead, he’d sit second,” said Shivananda
Parbhoo, who spells his last name differently than his father.
Giant Ryan’s quick start paid off as trouble developed behind him. Trappe Shot, breaking from the seventh starting position, had a moderate early bump. Euroears, leaving from the
three hole, was bumped by Calibrachoa and then herded the
horses inside him toward the rail, forcing 15.10-to-1 Apriority
to take back. Trappe Shot finished fourth, while Euroears never
was a factor and finished eighth.
Giant Ryan opened a 11⁄2-length lead over Force Freeze through
the first quarter-mile and maintained that advantage to the furlong pole. “I had a lot of horse at the top of the stretch,”
Velasquez said. “It’s been a long time since he’d run, but he
tries hard every time.”
Paco Lopez, aboard Force Freeze, made his move in the middle of the track and outside Giant Ryan’s range of vision, but
the leader maintained his pace to the finish line while completing the final quarter-mile in :24.74.
The Vosburgh always had been on the Parboo family’s radar
as a steppingstone to Churchill Downs.
Benoit & Associates photo
tors, who effectively threw Giant Ryan out of pari-mutuel considerations. He had gone exactly 12 weeks without a start, but
that was by design. The Vosburgh was to be his eighth start of
the year, with the five-race winning streak preceded by two
unplaced finishes at Gulfstream Park to open the year.
Trainer Bisnath Parboo, the owner’s father, said Giant Ryan
needed a break after the grueling schedule, which included
wins in the restricted Hamlet Stakes at Aqueduct on April 6,
an optional-claimer at Belmont on May 4, and the open Ponche
Handicap at Calder, his home track, on June 11, followed by
the Smile.
Another factor certainly was the competition. Giant Ryan
had won the six-furlong Smile by a neck in 1:11.34 on Calder’s
main track and had not generated an especially impressive
speed figure. In the Vosburgh, he was facing opponents who
had posted fast speed numbers in their previous starts.
Favored at 1.05-to-1 was Mill House’s Trappe Shot, who had
been beaten a nose in Saratoga Race Course’s Alfred G. Vanderbilt Handicap (G1) in his previous start on August 7 after
a runaway victory in Belmont’s True North Handicap (G2) on
June 11.
Second choice at 2.15-to-1 was James and Marilyn Helzer’s
Euroears, who was shipped east after winning Del Mar’s Bing
Crosby Handicap (G1) on July 31 for trainer Bob Baffert. The
third choice was Force Freeze at 7-to-1, and the Mike Repole
entry of Caixa Eletronica and Calibrachoa was fourth in the
mutuel pools at 11-to-1.
One factor that did not weigh heavily was Giant Ryan’s ability on an off track. He had won the Smile on a track rated as
good, and the track for the Belmont optional claimer in May
had been sloppy.
“My horse likes the sloppy track,” Velasquez said.

Oak Leaf Stakes
“This was to see if he could compete with the best horses,”
Shivananda Parbhoo said. “I will keep him here [at Belmont]
for a week or two, and then he will ship directly to Churchill
Downs. He will leave three weeks before the Breeders’ Cup.”
A $100,000 supplemental payment will be made to pre-enter
Giant Ryan if all continues according to plan. Giant Ryan certainly has done enough to pay his way into the race. He earned
$210,000 in the Vosburgh to raise his 2011 earnings to $559,490.
Bred by Becky Thomas and Lewis Lakin, Giant Ryan was
foaled at their former farm in New York and was sold as a
weanling for $14,000 at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Co.’s 2006
fall mixed sale. He did not reach his reserve price on a final
bid of $25,000 at the OBS March 2008 selected sale of twoyear-olds in training but was sold to Shivananda Racing for
$27,000 at the subsequent OBS June sale of two-year-olds and
horses in training that year.
A two-time winner at Aqueduct late in 2008, he was briefly
on the 2009 Triple Crown trail and was unplaced in the Gotham
Stakes (G3), his final start of the year. He also was winless in
his only 2010 start before beginning his current streak with an
optional allowance score at Aqueduct on March 4.
A native of Trinidad, Bisnath Parboo resettled his family in
Florida in 2009 after many years in New York. An owner since
1982, he took out his trainer’s license at the end of the 2007
racing season.
He has approximately 20 horses based at Calder, all owned
by family members, and Sherry Parboo was the leading owner
for the Calder summer-fall meeting, which ended on September 30. Bisnath Parboo was second in the Calder standings with
26 wins from 108 starts, a 24% strike rate, and purse earnings
of $583,854.
Double for Freud
Freud, who stands at Sequel Stallions New York, collected
his second graded victory in a week when Giant Ryan flashed
past the finish line in the Vosburgh. The Storm Cat stallion also
sired Future Prospect, the WinStar Kentucky Cup winner who
like Giant Ryan was bred by Thomas and Lakin.

Polytrack surface and won by three-quarters of a length over
Grade 1 winner General Quarters.
Trained by owner Dodson Skaggs, Future Prospect was accorded no respect despite a three-race winning streak in optional claimers at Churchill Downs and Presque Isle Downs.
Ridden by Edgar Prado, Future Prospect ran the Kentucky Cup’s
11⁄16 miles in 1:44.71 on the synthetic surface.
Future Prospect had won two restricted stakes in 2009,
including the Funny Cide Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, but
he went to the sidelines with a suspensory ligament injury.
After a 17-month recuperation, he returned to the races with
an optional-claiming victory at Turfway in March.
Although Future Prospect is nominated to the Breeders’ Cup,
Skaggs said he was uncertain whether he would take a shot at
any of the Churchill Downs races. Still, he was thrilled by how
well Future Prospect has returned to the races.
“He’s run at seven different tracks, and he’s run well at all
of them,” Skaggs said. “He doesn’t have to take his track or
his jockey with him.” Prado was the fourth jockey during Future Prospect’s four-race winning streak. The Racing Hall of
Fame jockey solicited the mount on the recommendation of
Manoel Cruz, who had ridden him in a Churchill Downs victory but was unavailable for the WinStar Kentucky Cup.
Standing tall in California
Weemissfrankie had made the case that she was a big-time
filly with her 11⁄4-length victory in the $250,000 Del Mar Debutante (G1) on September 3. That race and her debut victory
were on Del Mar’s synthetic Polytrack surface, and the question for trainer Peter Eurton and the ownership group was
whether her talent would translate to a dirt track.
The $250,000 Oak Leaf on Santa Anita’s refurbished dirt track
appeared to answer that question. Clearly, the New York-bred
Sunriver filly was not happy with dirt hitting her in the face
for the first time in a race, and she backed off by as many as
five lengths from the pace of Self Preservation through the first
half-mile. Jockey Rafael Bejarano, who has ridden her in all
three starts, moved her into the clear leaving the clubhouse
turn.
“When I got to the top of the stretch I put her clear, and like
always she showed me a big kick in the stretch. I gave her a
little push in the end and she showed me an unbelievable kick,”
Bejarano said.
Indeed, Weemissfrankie trailed Candrea by 21⁄2 lengths at the
furlong pole and won by a half-length. Named for the late actor
and producer Frank Alesia, Weemissfrankie covered the Oak
Leaf’s 11⁄16 miles in 1:42.98 on a fast track.
Eurton confirmed that the next step would be to Churchill
Downs, probably for the $2-million Breeders’ Cup Juvenile
Fillies (G1) on November 4, although he is giving some thought
to the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (G2) on the same program.
“It’s still a consideration, especially when you figure out
who’s going and who’s not, but it’s probably going to be dirt,”
he said. “It would be kind of silly [to run on the turf], but it’s
just a thought. You have options. That’s the beauty part about
it.”
Weemissfrankie’s second straight $150,000 payday raised her
career earnings to $337,800 in three starts.

NY BREEDERS’ AWARDS CAPS
Lizza’s achievements live on
Graded stakes winners Street Game and Pure Gossip
descend from Flying Zee’s Marathon Girl
By Don Clippinger
Carl Lizza Jr., owner of Flying Zee Stable and
co-owner of Highcliff Farm, died on July 8 at the
age of 73, but his achievements live on.
At Saratoga Race Course in August, his contributions to New York racing were recognized, and
his widow, Viane, accepted Lizza’s award as leading
owner of the 2011 Belmont Park spring-summer
meeting.
Lizza’s passion was racing, but that passion
also had a strong breeding component. Its vitality is evident in Flying Zee’s two graded stakes
winners this year: Street Game in the Hill Prince
Stakes (G3) during Belmont’s spring meeting and
Pure Gossip in the Miss Grillo Stakes (G3) on OcCARL LIZZA
tober 2 at Belmont.
Both were bred by Lizza’s Nustar Breeding LLC and are
closely related. Pure Gossip is out of the Dixieland Band mare
Dixieland Achiever, a half sister to Street Game, who is by Street
Cry (Ire), out of Thunder Achiever, by Thunder Puddles.
Lizza’s activity as a breeder reaches back to the early 1980s,
just as he emerged as a presence on the national racing scene.
The roots of Street Game’s and Pure Gossip’s family extend to
Marathon Girl, a Fleet Nasrullah filly who was bred in Kentucky
by Mereworth Farm and raced for Flying Zee.
The filly out of Miss Twist, by Prince John, won her first start,
a 1979 maiden special weight for two-year-old fillies at Saratoga
Race Course. In her next start, she finished third in the Spinaway Stakes (G1), five lengths behind eventual juvenile filly
champion Smart Angle.
By fall, however, Lizza and trainer Jose Martin had concluded
that Marathon Girl would never be a stakes winner and kept her
in allowance races, where she was competitive. At the conclu-

In time, Lizza would have an appropriate mate
for her, another Kentucky-bred named Noble
Nashua. One of the best horses raced by Lizza
in the Flying Zee silks, Noble Nashua finished
second to eventual juvenile male champion Lord
Avie in the 1980 Champagne Stakes (G1) and
made a run at the Triple Crown with a thirdplace finish in the Gotham Stakes (G2) and a
fourth in the Wood Memorial Stakes (G1).
After being well beaten by Pleasant Colony in
the Wood and Kentucky Derby (G1), followed by
a fifth-place finish in the Pennsylvania Derby (G2) behind subsequent Belmont Stakes (G1) winner Summing, Lizza and Martin gave Noble Nashua a confidence booster in a Belmont allowance
race and then went after the division leaders again. He won the
Dwyer Stakes (G2) at Belmont and then shipped across the country to score a resounding victory in the Swaps Stakes (G1) at Hollywood Park.
Returned to New York, he finished sixth behind the New York
breeding industry’s first Grade 1 winner, Fio Rito, in the Whitney Handicap (G1) and then was fourth to Willow Hour in the
Travers Stakes (G1) on a very sloppy track. Finishing ahead of
him were Pleasant Colony and Lord Avie.
Noble Nashua snapped back from his Saratoga defeats and had
a memorable fall season at Belmont. He won the Jerome Handicap (G2) against three-year-olds and, after a misguided trip across
the Hudson River for the Meadowlands’ Pegasus Handicap (eighth
to Summing as the even-money favorite), he scored the biggest
victory of his career in the Marlboro Cup Invitational Handicap (G1), which he won by 33⁄4 lengths
over Amber Pass.

at Belmont. Also in 1983, he finished
second to eventual Horse of the Year All
Along (Fr) in the Rothmans International (G1) and the Turf Classic (G1),
then run at Aqueduct.
Retired at the end of the 1983 racing
season, Thunder Puddles began a long
career at stud in New York. From 290 foals
in 19 crops, he sired nine stakes winners
and three graded stakes winners.
Thunder Achiever
PURE GOSSIP
His top performer was Thunder Rumble, winner of the 1992 Travers (G1) and Jim Dandy (G2) Stakes.
Another of his graded winners was Thunder Achiever, a 1993
filly out of Flying Zee’s Anthenian Girl.
New York-bred Thunder Achiever possessed the durability of
her damsire, Noble Nashua, and some of his talent, too. She won
seven of 27 starts and capped her career with a victory in the 1996
First Flight Handicap (G2) at Aqueduct. She also won the 1995
New York Stallion Fifth Avenue Stakes and the East View Stakes.
Retired after a winless 1997 racing season, Thunder Achiever
began her career as a broodmare with some difficulty. Her first
foal was unplaced in two starts, and her second foal to survive,
Dixieland Achiever, never raced.
Lizza retained Dixieland Achiever, however, and she repaid
his loyalty. Her 2008 foal, the Tale of the Cat filly Lady Vi, won
last year’s Lady Finger Stakes. Her 2009 foal is Pure Gossip, who
pulled off a stunning 61⁄2-length victory in the Miss Grillo at
18

23.10-to-1 for Flying Zee and trainer Phil
Serpe.
Thunder Achiever’s hard luck at stud
continued until 2005, when she foaled
Multidude, a Fusaichi Pegasus colt who
earned more than $100,000. Her 2008
foal is Street Game, who also is trained
by Serpe and has earned $140,712.
While New York racing has lost Carl
Lizza, the family that he nurtured through
Marathon Girl continues to win important races at the metropolitan tracks.

Flying Zee to disperse most horses
Most horses owned by Flying Zee Stable will be dispersed at FasigTipton Co. auctions this fall and winter. Hidden Brook Farm will be
the agent for the dispersals of Flying Zee, which is owned by the estate of Carl Lizza Jr., who died in July.
The dispersal was to begin with 40 yearlings, all bred in New York,
at the Fasig-Tipton Kentucky fall yearling sale in Lexington on October 26. The yearling-sale catalog containing the Flying Zee horses is
available on the Fasig-Tipton website, www.fasigtipton.com.
The yearlings are by such sires as Giant’s Causeway, Bernardini,
Tapit, Lemon Drop Kid, Harlan’s Holiday, Speightstown, and Holy Bull.
The group also includes several yearlings by Western Expression, who
stands at Highcliff Farm, which was co-owned by Lizza and remains
in operation under his family’s management in Delanson.
The dispersal will continue with weanlings, broodmares, and horses
of racing age scheduled for the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic December
mixed sale in Timonium, Maryland, on December 5.

EXPLANATION OF INDEXES
Racing Index (RI)
RI is based on the average earnings per start for all runners in the United States, Canada, England, Ireland, France,
Italy, Germany, Puerto Rico, and United Arab Emirates. RI is
determined by calculating the average earnings per start,
divided into males and females, of all starters in each individual country, and the average for each individual year is
by definition 1.00. Median RI, however, is much lower. Actual distribution of RI is detailed below.
Sire Index (SI)
The Sire Index (SI) is an average of the Racing Index (RI)
of all foals by a sire that have started at least three times.
For SI to be calculated, a sire must be represented by a minimum of three crops and 25 starters lifetime.
AUCTION INFORMATION
Auction information is for North American sales from

PEDIGREE SYMBOLS
Symbols preceding or following names of horses in pedigrees are used to identify horses that were imported into
North America for racing or breeding, and to indicate country of birth. Equal signs preceding a horse’s name indicate
that a horse was foaled outside the U.S. or Canada and
has never been imported to North America; a horse’s country of birth appears in parentheses following its name. An
asterisk preceding a horse’s name indicates the horse was
born outside the U.S. or Canada and was imported to North
America prior to 1976 (no country codes are included for
such horses). Names of horses imported since 1976 include a country code in parentheses following their name
and are not preceded by equal signs. Horses that do not
have a symbol preceding their name or a country code following their name were foaled in North America.

Breeding Rules
To qualify for registration as a New York-bred, the mare must foal in New York state and meet the following
domicile requirements:
Resident Mares: Must be continuously in residence in New York state from within 90 days after last cover in
the year of conception and thereafter remain in residence until foaling the following year, with no breed-back
required.
Non-Resident Mares: Must foal in New York state and be bred back to a registered New York-based stallion
and remain for a continuous period of 90 days after foaling.

NEW YORK BREEDER November 2011
New York State Breeding and Development Fund
NY-Breds Award Program
Breeder, owner, and stallion owner awards are based
on purse money earned (first through third) while
competing in pari-mutuel races run in New York state.
BREEDER AWARDS
In 2010, the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund paid $5,400,945 to breeders of
registered New York-breds. A breeder is the owner of the mare at the time the mare foals in the state of New
York. Breeder awards are determined by covering stallion. If the New York-bred is by a registered New York-based
stallion, the award is up to 30% of the purse earned for a first-place finish and up to 15% for a second- or thirdplace finish.
If the New York-bred is by an out-of-state stallion or non-registered stallion, the award is up to 15% for a firstplace finish and up to 7.5% for a second- or third-place finish. The breeder awards are capped at $40,000 per
horse per race for New York-sired New York-breds, and the cap on breeder awards for non-New York-sired
New York-breds is $20,000 per horse per race.
STALLION OWNER AWARDS
In 2010, the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund distributed $1,559,215 in stallion
owner awards. Stallion owner awards are paid to owners of registered New York-based covering stallions (at time
of conception) at up to 7% of earned purses from first through third positions. All stallion owner awards are
capped at $10,000 per horse per race.
