Fastest Qualifier Delivers in Hoosier Park Classic Final<br />
Story by Emily Gaskin, Hoosier Park<br />
Fillemup Phil turned in another dominating performance and remained<br />
unbeaten in three starts to win the $100,000 Hoosier Park Class Final on<br />
Oct. 13 at Hoosier Park Racing & Casino. The brown gelding by Brookstone<br />
Bay set the fastest qualifying time of :20.122 for 400 yards in the<br />
trials on Sep. 28 and posted a clocking of :20.292 to win by a length in the<br />
final and notch his fifth win over Hoosier Park’s surface.<br />
Ridden by Oscar Delgado for trainer Danny Lang, Fillemup Phil broke<br />
a step behind Lovemelikethat and Shanley Jackson, but the five-year-old<br />
gelding quickly found another gear en route to the wire. Fillemup Phil<br />
sustained a late closing charge from the heavy betting favorite, Lovemelikethat<br />
and Shanley Jackson who finished a game second. Air Born<br />
Leader and Garardo Garrido, also a trial winner, overcame being bumped<br />
at the start to finish third. Fillemup Phil didn’t disappoint as the bettors’<br />
choice as he returned $6.40 for the win.<br />
“He broke hard,” Delgado noted of his mount. “Everyone got a clean<br />
break but he is a big horse so he may have been a step behind some of<br />
them. The last 100 yards he was just running away from them, he just kept<br />
getting stronger and stronger as we went on. He was on his game today.”<br />
Bred in Indiana by Guy Trolinger, Fillemup Phil notched his fifth victory<br />
in eight starts this season while bankrolling over $100,000. In his last<br />
Hoosier Park outing, Fillemup Phil won an allowance event on Sept. 8<br />
with Delgado in the irons, once again. Out of the Premiership mare, Miss<br />
Reminice, the brown gelding is owned by Brian Gunder.<br />
“This is just a nice horse,”winning trainer Danny Lang noted. “He likes a<br />
lot of attention and a lot of care. Brian (Gunder) gave me a great opportunity<br />
to train this horse and he’s been racing really great for us.”<br />
The Hoosier Park Classic Final was just one of the ten Quarter Horse races offered<br />
on the afternoon card. Tagged as Wild West Days, the all Quarter Horse<br />
card featured Wild West themed activities, giveaways, and fun for racing fans.<br />
Heza Door Prize Drives To Sterlie Bertram Memorial Win<br />

Story by stallionesearch.com<br />
The lightly raced Heza Door Prize scored his second win in three<br />
career starts Saturday afternoon as he caught Successful Dash and<br />
Dezenzo to win by a neck in the $111,100 Sterlie Bertram Memorial<br />
Stakes at Hoosier Park.<br />
Under jockey Cesar Carrilo the 3-year-old son of First Prize Perry completed<br />
the 350 yard course into a 10 mph headwind in :18.190 seconds.<br />
The $61,105 winner’s purse swelled his career bank account to nearly<br />
$65,000.<br />
After finishing fourth in his only start at 2, the Jorge Gonzalez trainee<br />
set the fastest qualifying time in his first start this season on September<br />
29. Alberto Valdez owns the sorrel gelding out of the Heza Fast Man<br />
mare Rectitude. Heath Taylor is the breeder.<br />
Randy Thompson’s Successful Dash<br />
was a game second, earning $22,220.<br />
Thomas Mosley, Jr. trains the Cartel Success<br />
gelding out of the Dash For Cash mare Rita Anns Dash. The<br />
$22,220 place check boosted his career total to $92,473. Gerardo Garrido<br />
rode the Bill Price bred 3-year-old who came into the race off three<br />
straight wins.<br />
Randy Smith’s owned-and-trained Dezenzo led earlier but had to settle<br />
for the show check of $11,110. Diana Moster bred the Ivory James<br />
gelding out of Hooked On Laveaux, by First Down Laveaux. Olivo<br />
Victor was aboard the earner of $47,248.<br />
Completing the field were Will You Perry Me, Dancing With Ducks,<br />
Princess Royal Blew, Its Chilly, Shak Em Down Stoney and Chilled<br />
Patrona.

UARTER HORSE DAY at HOOSIER PARK<br />
October 13th was the second annual Quarter Horse day<br />

by a Western Theme for the day while there was<br />
live racing. The race card included the $100,000 added Hoosier<br />
Park Classic and the Sterlie Bertram Memorial Stakes Final, as<br />
well as the trials for the final stake races of the year; The Governors<br />
Stake and The Miss Roxie Little.<br />
The Hoosier Park Bugler kicked off each of the Quarter<br />
Horse races with his special rendition of the "Call to Post"!!<br />
Fans love the ever so famous "T-Shirt Toss"<br />

QUARTER HORSE DAY at HOOSIER PARK<br />
After the races were over and the last horse was cooled out, horsemen and QH racing fans enjoyed a complimentary dinner sponsored by<br />
the Quarter Horse Racing Association of Indiana. People enjoyed a great meal, visiting with friends, and participating in a fund raiser,<br />
which consisted of the a "Stick Horse Auction", which made it possible for the <strong>QHRAI</strong> to present a $6,000 check to Annie Steele to help<br />
offset some of her expenses while she is being treated for cancer. <strong>QHRAI</strong> would like to thank EVERYONE who participated to make this event<br />
a great success.<br />
The crowd watched and made bids on<br />
horses that were being auctioned off!!<br />
Horsemen enjoyed a great meal prepared by the Hoosier Park<br />
food services group.<br />
The new owners of the stick horses waited for their horses name to be drawn in a "mock<br />
race draw". The hardest part of the process was for owners to name the rider on thier horse<br />
who they thought would win in the stick races that were to be run on October 27th!! The<br />
winning owner recieves a Steak House Dinner for 4, and the winning rider recieves a $100<br />
bill (we all know jockeys don't eat in steak houses) !!<br />
Annie Steele looks on as the stick horses were being previewed and auctioned off. Annie<br />
has been a very close part of our Quarter Horse family for many years. She was the out<br />
rider at Indiana Downs for several years, and was on the track each day for early morning<br />
training. We look forward to seeing her back in the saddle at the track real soon!!

<strong>QHRAI</strong> <strong>November</strong> Newsletter<br />
Hello to my Fellow Hoosier Quarter Horse Racing Fans. It’s a bittersweet<br />
time of the year for me. All the racing is over, the <strong>QHRAI</strong><br />
Speed Sale is in the past, and winter is getting ready to settle in before<br />
long, but the yearlings are here and will become our main focus when<br />
the racing ends.<br />
I will miss seeing everyone at the track every day. I mean everyone<br />
from the horses, grooms, friends we share a shed row with, folks we<br />
just say hi to in passing, folks we have conversations with in Becky’s<br />
Kitchen, everyone in the race office, the grounds keepers, the gate crew,<br />
the jockeys, the morning and race time pony people, the familiar faces<br />
in the paddock, in the jock’s room, security folks and even the familiar<br />
faces at the betting windows, who know there will be last minute rushes<br />
to the windows on Quarter Horse nights, right up until the time that the<br />
gates pop open!! Did you ever stop to think about all the people we<br />
see and take for granted at the race track? Take a minute in your own<br />
mind to reflect on the many people you personally cross paths with at<br />
the track!! All of these people are part of our Quarter Horse Family!!<br />
Some we know better than others, but all our part of our family!!<br />
Since it’s <strong>November</strong> and Thanksgiving will be here soon, I think it’s<br />
appropriate to recognize some things I am thankful for. First of all, for<br />
the safe race meet that we have just completed!! In no small part to<br />
the stewards, the track crew, and for our Track General Manager, Brian<br />
Elmore, for keeping the horses’ and riders’ safety as a priority while we<br />
were competing at Hoosier Park’s state of the art facility!<br />
We have a lot to be thankful for in that when Tom Mosley presented<br />
the <strong>QHRAI</strong> Application to the Indiana Horse Racing Commission at<br />
the October Meeting, it was UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED, and special<br />
recognition was given by the new Chairman of the commission,<br />
Mr. Bill Diener, about the tremendous experience he had at QH Day<br />
at Indiana Downs. Not only does this approval mean that <strong>QHRAI</strong> will<br />
continue be the sole representative for Quarter Horse Racing in Indiana,<br />
and we will also be running for our percentage of the purse money<br />
received through gaming revenue, but that our REGULATORS recognize<br />
the many great things that we are responsible for in Quarter Horse<br />
Racing in Indiana. We really do have a SUCCESSFUL Program here<br />
in Indiana, and I hope you are all thankful for what we have going on<br />
in our great state!!<br />
I’m thankful for the group of people who helped make Quarter Horse<br />
Day at Hoosier Park a great Success!! From the marketing group at<br />
Hoosier Park who were responsible for the Wild West Day Theme and<br />
the many activities throughout the day, to the food service staff who<br />
made the excellent food for our horsemen’s dinner , and to our own<br />
Quarter Horse Family in the race office, jocks room, others on the backside,<br />
board members, and even friends of board members (thanks Rachel)<br />
who took their time and creativity to decorate the stick horses,<br />
Vick Conway and Tom Mosley for auctioning the horses and giving<br />
them a great pedigree review, Chris Duke, <strong>QHRAI</strong> President and Hoosier<br />
Park’s own “Rachel” who helped to promote the auction, and all<br />
the buyers, whose generous contributions made it possible to give one<br />
of our friends, Annie Steele, a gift of $6,000 to offset some of her hardships<br />
as she is going through some very trying times while she is battling<br />
cancer. Annie, we hope you are feeling completely better, very<br />
soon.<br />
Finally, I am thankful for about a week of rest after the race meet ends<br />
to get recharged to build up to <strong>QHRAI</strong>’s next MAIN EVENT….. The<br />
Stallion Service Auction, 2012 Awards Program and General Membership<br />
Meeting. Hold the date for Saturday, January 5th, 2013. We will<br />
be meeting again at the Crown Plaza Hotel, Indianapolis Airport. If you<br />
are new to the industry and have never attended, we hope to see you<br />
there, or if you have been attending this event for the last 20 years or<br />
more, I hope you continue to make it a priority to come and enjoy the<br />
great opportunity to spend the entire day learning more about the QH-<br />
RAI and racing opportunities in Indiana, and visiting with your Quarter<br />
Horse Friends.<br />
If you have questions about any part of the Racing Program in Indiana,<br />
please contact me or one of the <strong>QHRAI</strong> Board of Directors. We are<br />
always happy to provide as much information as possible!!<br />
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving Holiday!!<br />

at the<br />
Tom Mosley, <strong>QHRAI</strong> Director of Industry Relations, shows horse<br />
fans the fantastic photo album that Sarah Compton made after she<br />
attended the 2011 Quarter Horse Day at Indiana Downs. She had<br />
photos and details of horses in the paddock and going to the track and even<br />
about meeting jockeys and getting thier autographs. Sarah enterered her<br />
photo album in the 4-H fair and received Champion Honors. Sarah is a true<br />
example of someone who has a passion for horses and we certainly enjoyed<br />
her company at the Horse Fair. She talked about her experience and fun<br />
she had at Quarter Horse Day last year and the excitement of getting an at -<br />
home visit on Christmas Eve from Jockey Jeff Hogan. She had a smile on<br />
her face every time we saw her. Sarah went into the hospital just a couple<br />
days after these pictures were taken at the horse fair, to have heart surgery.<br />
Our thoughts and prayers are with Sarah and her family as she recovers and<br />
we look forward to her participating in the <strong>QHRAI</strong> Youth Day this year and<br />
and once again seeing her at Quarter Horse Day on June 30th.<br />
Hoosier Horse Fair<br />

The Racing Quarter Horse<br />
Half the Track, Twice the Excitement!!<br />
There were many types of fan fare for people of all ages at the horse fair. The crowd at the<br />
Quarter Horse Demonstration chanting "Quarter Horse" got free T shirts thrown by leading<br />
Quarter Horse jockeys. Participants in the handicapping races who chose the winning horse<br />
won the "golden ticket" award which entitles them to a complimentary pass to Quarter Horse<br />
Day on June 30th. Jockeys signed autographs for fans of all ages, and the "fastest kids in the<br />
arena" won a bid to Youth Day or gifts after the foot races. Bugler Dan Golando kicked off<br />
each <strong>QHRAI</strong> event with the notorious "Call to Post"!!

<strong>QHRAI</strong> AND QUARTER HORSE FANS<br />
REALLY KNOW HOW TO HAVE FUN!!<br />
June 30th was a huge event for <strong>QHRAI</strong> and Quarter Horse fans in Indiana!! In edition to a full card of Quarter<br />
Horse races including 5 stakes with purses totalling over half a million dollars, we managed to fit some<br />
other activities in the day!!<br />
The day was kicked off with a<br />
picnic sponsored by <strong>QHRAI</strong><br />
and Indiana Downs. The band<br />
“Down Shift” provided entertainment<br />
the crowd.<br />
Guests took tours,<br />
courtesy of great Indiana<br />
Downs folks,<br />
to the “backside” to<br />
see where horses are<br />
stalled, receiving barn,<br />
test barn and other features<br />
of the track.<br />
Lead Singer<br />
from the band<br />
Down Shift sang<br />
the National Anthem<br />
as the gate<br />
crew salutes the<br />
American Flag.<br />
Chris Duke, <strong>QHRAI</strong> President and Jen Perkins,<br />
AQHA “Racing Ace” discussed thier handicap<br />
picks with the crowd during the picnic. Free<br />
betting vouchers were given to anyone who had<br />
questions asked. Rumor has it that Chris out<br />
handicapped Jen, maybe his inside connections<br />
gave him a slight advantage!!
<strong>QHRAI</strong> News<br />
Johnnie Jamison, Head<br />
Starter, explains the process<br />
of getting a horse<br />
ready to break from the<br />
starting gates and gives the<br />
crowd an up close look of<br />
the huge metal gates!!<br />
<strong>QHRAI</strong> directors Ron<br />
Haynes and Butch Yike<br />
threw T Shirts to the<br />
crowd in between races<br />
to anxious spectators!!<br />
Some were happy with<br />
their catches!!<br />
There was a large crowd all day and night<br />
watching horses in the paddock and on the<br />
apron watching the races.
