Wildfire Forces Brief Closure<br />

Of Ruidoso Downs Casino<br />

The Billy The Kid Casino at Ruidoso Downs reopened one<br />

day after a wind-driven wildfire came perilously close to the<br />

racetrack. The stable area is ready for horses to move in on<br />

April 25 for the summer meet, which begins May 27.<br />

The White Fire broke out on April 4 and has burned over<br />

10,000 acres, including property adjacent to the track. A tack<br />

room on the corner of one barn at Ruidoso Downs was burned,<br />

but work has already begun to repair the damage.<br />

Fueled by 60 mph winds and extremely<br />

dry conditions, the conflagration forced the<br />

evacuation of over 100 people. Five homes,<br />

seven outbuildings and numerous vehicles<br />

were destroyed, and two other homes were<br />

damaged. There have been no reported<br />

deaths or serious injuries to residents or<br />

firefighters. However, one older horse<br />

succumbed to the smoke.<br />

At this writing, the White Fire is only<br />

35% contained and continues to burn east<br />

of Ruidoso Downs, but is of no threat to<br />

the racetrack or other structures in the<br />

area. The fire appears to have been<br />

started by sparks caused when someone<br />

used a hand-held metal grinder to remove<br />

parts from an old bulldozer. Police are<br />

still looking for that individual.<br />

These photos show<br />

just how close the<br />

White Fire came to<br />

Ruidoso Downs<br />

Jimmy Allen Drake<br />

November 16, 1928 – March 12, 2011<br />

Jimmy Drake, 82, passed away March 12,<br />

2011. Drake was born in Okemah, Oklahoma,<br />

to Robert Drake and Gladys Haddox Drake.<br />

He attended the University of Oklahoma<br />

before being drafted into the U.S. Army<br />

JoAnn Morrison in 1949, and they moved<br />

from Oklahoma to Kansas and then to<br />

Farmington, <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>, where they<br />

established Drake Well Service in 1963.<br />

A passion for family, community, fishing,<br />

and all animals consumed Jimmy’s life. Drake’s<br />

love for horses began with his donkey Billy<br />

Merle, and he went on to raise, among others,<br />

1982 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Quarter <strong>Horse</strong> Stallion of<br />

the Year Real Easy Chick, as well as All<br />

Shrine Club and Shriners International. He<br />

served on the Farmington City Council and on<br />

the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Racing Commission, and was<br />

President of the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> <strong>Breeders</strong><br />

<strong>Association</strong>. San Juan Downs opened in 1985<br />

as a result of his efforts, and he was honored<br />

with the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong>men’s <strong>Association</strong><br />

Lifetime Achievement Award in 2008. He was<br />

recognized in 2001 by the San Juan Basin Oil<br />

& Gas Industry as an individual who<br />

contributed to the discovery of commercial<br />

natural gas in northwest <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>.<br />

Jimmy is survived by his wife of 61 years,<br />

JoAnn Drake, son Greg & Jennifer Drake,<br />

daughter Gayla and Allen McCulloch,<br />

granddaughter Tiffany and Ryan Rowse,<br />

grandsons Drake and Bryce McCulloch,<br />

sister Glenda Gay Eaton of Oviedo, Florida,<br />

and several nieces and nephews. His parents,<br />

Robert and Gladys Drake, sister Linda Kay<br />

Drake and grandson Kyle Drake preceded<br />

LETTER FROM THE<br />

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR<br />

ANNA FAY DAVIS<br />

The Annual Meeting was held January 27, 2011 at the Marriott Hotel<br />

in Albuquerque. Mark your calendar for Thursday, January 26, 2012<br />

in Albuquerque for the next Annual Meeting and Banquet.<br />

I would like to thank everyone who attended the annual meeting.<br />

Before the 2010 Audit completion, the <strong>Association</strong> had a net loss of<br />

$103,017.00. Membership decreased by 9% in 2010. Registrations<br />

overall decreased 12% compared to a 3% decrease in 2009.<br />

The stallion registrations increased 25%. Affidavits continue to be<br />

mailed confirming the accuracy of the information stated on the<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Bred application. There were 294 days of racing in<br />

2010 which is 4 days less than in 2009.<br />

After lunch, legal counsel, Raymond G. Sanchez gave an overview of the 1978 meeting at the Hilton Inn to<br />

decide the definition of a <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Bred. Brad King started the discussion regarding allowing mares to<br />

leave <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> for breeding purposes. Many members spoke regarding this topic and names of letters<br />

received from members were read into the record by President Cadotte.<br />

The officers for 2011 are President Q. Mike Cadotte, 1st Vice President Kay M. Thurman and 2nd Vice<br />

President Norma Alvarez. I would like to welcome James T. Lewter and Ralph W. Vincent as new Quarter<br />

<strong>Horse</strong> trustees and Larry R. Teague as the new Thoroughbred trustee. Norma Alvarez was re-elected as a<br />

QH Trustee and Jay L. Taylor and Mark E. Wise were re-elected as TB trustees for two year terms.<br />

A special thanks goes to Susan Hunter of Hunter Creek Farms for arranging the DVD honoring V.J. Callaway<br />

as the longtime breeder award since he retired January 1st.<br />

At the March 24th Racing Commission Meeting the following were introduced as new Commissioners:<br />

Beverly Bourguet, Jerald Cosper, Rob Doughty, III and Gayla McCulloch. Ray Willis is the acting chair.<br />

I am looking forward to working with the new Commissioners and congratulate them on their appointments.<br />

It is always exciting to watch the two year olds get started and to see new stars develop as the racing season<br />

kicks off.<br />

Good luck to all.<br />

Dear Fellow Members,<br />

I would first like to thank Anna Fay Davis and her staff for another<br />

great annual meeting and awards banquet. I want to welcome our new<br />

trustees and thank the trustees who finished their term for their time<br />

and work.<br />

LETTER FROM PRESIDENT<br />

MIKE CADOTTE<br />

In February and March I attended the Democratic Dinner and Republican Reception. I am happy to report that<br />

many of the legislators commented that they enjoy getting the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Breeder magazine. I believe<br />

we need to take every opportunity to continue to let them know how important the horse industry is to the<br />

economy of <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>.<br />

At our last board meeting, I had a committee formed to look into how we can improve our website to sell <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong> Bred horses. We are also looking into updating our last economic survey. If you have any suggestions on<br />

either subject, please contact a board member or myself.<br />

It’s hard to believe we are half way through the breeding season and getting ready to prep yearlings for the sale.<br />

I hope all of you have a wonderful spring and I am looking forward to seeing you at the summer meeting.<br />

On March 27, Sunland Park Racetrack<br />

and Casino attracted a track-record crowd<br />

of 18,571, many of whom were attracted<br />

by the ninth running of the 1 1/8-mile,<br />

$800,000 Sunland Derby (G3).<br />

The Sunland Derby, <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>'s<br />

only graded Thoroughbred stakes, was<br />

one of six stakes contested on Sunland<br />

Park's 13-race program. A record<br />

$2,963,240 was wagered on the all-<br />

Thoroughbred card, of which $2,554,663<br />

was bet off track.<br />

Three of the six stakes – the <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Breeders</strong>' Oaks (R), <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong><br />

<strong>Breeders</strong>' Derby (R), and La Coneja<br />

Stakes (R) – were restricted to state-breds.<br />

The Sunland Derby has become one<br />

of the nation's most important Triple<br />

Crown prep races since it first became<br />

graded in 2010. <strong>This</strong> year's race was won<br />

by 25-1 longshot Twice The Appeal, a<br />

Kentucky-bred colt by Successful Appeal<br />

racing for Edward J. Brown Jr., Victor<br />

Flores, and Henry Hernandez, and<br />

trained by Northern California-based<br />

conditioner Jeff Bonde.<br />

Coronas Black Diamond QH<br />

Red Sky Dubai TB


Famous Lane Farm<br />

by Glenda Price<br />

Famous Lane foal out<br />

of DJD Cookin Snow<br />

Here’s the ruling philosophy at<br />

the Trujillo family’s Famous Lane<br />

Farm in Tularosa: “It’s All About the<br />

<strong>Horse</strong>s.”<br />

It takes visitors about five minutes<br />

to figure out this is a premier<br />

racehorse facility where the horses<br />

come first. The family – John, Peggy<br />

and their three sons lived in Utah<br />

many years. “Even then we ran some<br />

horses in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>,” John says.<br />

Actually, John’s grandfather, Chris<br />

Trujillo, trained in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> in<br />

the 1950s, and among their win<br />

pictures on display is one from a<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> race in 1993.<br />

The farm is a family venture<br />

including John,<br />

Peggy and son<br />

Jeremy and<br />

his wife Kacey. Both Jeremy and Kacey are<br />

commercial airline pilots, but that doesn’t<br />

keep them from deep involvement in<br />

Famous Lane Farm. In fact, John and<br />

Jeremy make the breeding decisions<br />

together – which mare to what<br />

stallion, etc.<br />

They study a great deal, of<br />

course, but when asked, “Aren’t<br />

breeding decisions a science?” John laughs<br />

and says, “It’s a crap shoot. You try the best<br />

you can, but you can be lucky or not.”<br />

Maybe. The farm’s namesake, Famous Lane<br />

(Dash Ta Fame-J M Taylor Lane by Lanes<br />

Leister) and their mare, Dustys Cocktail<br />

(Corona Cocktail-Dustys On a High) produced<br />

Perfect Crime, now a 2-year old and one of<br />

Famous Lane’s first foals to race.<br />

Felipe Flores, Jr., purchased and is training<br />

Perfect Crime. At press time Perfect Crime had<br />

qualified for the <strong>New</strong> Mexican Spring Futurity to<br />

be run on April 10th. Famous Lane had won that<br />

race when he was a 2-year old, setting a track –<br />

and world – record for 300 yards. Is that luck?<br />

The Trujillos place this quote by Scoop Vessels in their<br />

advertising: “Extremely fast horses always make the best<br />

sires.” Without question some “extremely<br />

fast” horses call Famous Lane<br />

Farm home.<br />

John had said he believed their Thoroughbred stallion, Stormin’<br />

Lyon, would be a good one. They have a <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong><br />

<strong>Breeders</strong> <strong>Association</strong> trophy for Stormin’ Lyon — 2010 Freshman<br />

Sire of the Year. More luck?<br />

John’s responsibilities include: breeder, owner, trainer and all the<br />

other jobs within those parameters. They put in a race barn at<br />

nearby <strong>Horse</strong>man’s Park because they needed a place for their own<br />

horses to train – “the ones we didn’t sell because we didn’t get our<br />

price we thought they were worth,” he says. “When friends found<br />

out I was training they asked if I would train for them. We needed a<br />

place for that as well.”<br />

“It was a 14-stall barn,” Peggy says, “but we had<br />

to add six more stalls.”<br />

“We are full,” John says. “We don’t have a stall<br />

available.”<br />

As for the breeding, the Trujillos have kept their<br />

stud fees quite reasonable. “People don’t have as much<br />

money,” says John. “We want to keep it where people<br />

can afford to come for breeding.”<br />

Seven stallions currently are standing at Famous<br />

Lane Farm, six Quarter <strong>Horse</strong>s and one<br />

Thoroughbred (Stormin’ Lyon). The stallions and their<br />

stud fees are:<br />

• Famous Lane $1,500<br />

• Stormin’ Lyon $1,500<br />

• Chickie Cherry Cola $1,200<br />

• Fast Debonair $1,000<br />

• National Threat $ 900<br />

• Teller Im Bigtime $1,000<br />

• Gettin the Cash<br />

free (only chute fee)<br />

if the mare is a Registered <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Broodmare<br />

Famous Lane Farm has a great website with all the<br />

information about each stallion and much more.<br />

All Quarter <strong>Horse</strong><br />

breeding is artificial insemination,<br />

and John and Peggy work as a team. “After<br />

John collects the semen he gives it to me and I do<br />

the rest,” Peggy says. She checks the sperm count, motility,<br />

etc., and if it passes and someone is waiting for it she ships the cooled<br />

semen by overnight delivery.<br />

When the AI is done at the farm, the mare is checked after 14 days,<br />

after 30 days, and after 45 days if possible.<br />

The Trujillos breed their own mares to outside stallions sometimes.<br />

“We own a share of FDD Dynasty (First Down Dash-Dinastia Toll Brz)<br />

and can breed one mare a year to him,” John says. <strong>This</strong> stallion<br />

(California bred) won more than $1 million.<br />

John and Peggy are a team during foaling, also. Peggy checks each<br />

mare every day and keeps a detailed log. As of the end of March, the<br />

farm had 24 new babies. “We have 16 yet to come,” says Peggy. Out of<br />

that many foals only one had a problem, and it wasn’t major – just<br />

premature birth. That little preemie loves to play with John and Peggy.<br />

In fact, most everybody loves to play with John and Peggy. As we go<br />

from one stall or pasture to the next John, without fail, says, “<strong>This</strong> is<br />

one of our favorites.”<br />

Famous Lane Farm itself has become a favorite of <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>’s<br />

horse breeders. “The good people in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> really supported<br />

us, and we’re thankful, being new,”<br />

John says. Many clients sent mares to<br />

the farm to foal, and when it was<br />

time to rebreed they had seen the<br />

stallions. “That helped us grow,”<br />

John says. “We have nice<br />

stallions. Also, they can see the<br />

weanlings and yearlings. People<br />

are already wanting to buy<br />

weanlings.”<br />

In January of 2010, John<br />

was elected to the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong><br />

<strong>Horse</strong> <strong>Breeders</strong> <strong>Association</strong><br />

Board of Trustees. He says,<br />

“The board members<br />

are good people<br />

and all seem to<br />

get along and<br />

acknowledges there are always issues in everything, but “they<br />

are all so passionate about what they’re doing, donating<br />

their time.”<br />

He adds, “I’m happy with the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Bred<br />

program and all the people involved.”<br />

John points out that every organization always needs<br />

new blood. “Every day we strive to get new members,<br />

and we have recruited lots of our clients.”<br />

He believes an alternate track open at the same<br />

time, especially when they’re running at Sunland,<br />

would be helpful. “We could have more claimers<br />

at the right price and better conditions.”<br />

Meanwhile, horsemen and horsewomen will<br />

feel welcome and can take advantages of all the<br />

other services offered by Famous<br />

Quatro Menudos remained undefeated<br />

following his one-length victory in the<br />

$313,502 Shue Fly Stakes (RG1) for <strong>New</strong><br />

Quatro Menudos covered 400 yards in<br />

:18.979 while scoring his fourth win in as<br />

many starts. The $147,346 winner’s share<br />

of the purse increased the gray gelding’s<br />

earnings to $176,206.<br />

“The start wasn’t too rough – I was<br />

pretty much clear, and I let him go to the<br />

outside where he was fine and<br />

comfortable,” said jockey Salvador<br />

Martinez, who has ridden Quatro Menudos<br />

in all of the gelding’s outs. “I think he’s an<br />

awesome horse.<br />

“He did it really easy,” he added. “I<br />

haven’t asked him for much yet in his<br />

career.”<br />

A homebred, Quatro Menudos became<br />

the second stakes winner from two crops<br />

CHALLENGER SIX HANDICAP<br />

Canadian Mash<br />

Sent to post at odds of 20-1, Alvaro Castro’s<br />

Canadian Mash won the 870-yard, $120,000<br />

Challenger Six Handicap (R) for <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>breds<br />

on December 18 at Sunland Park.<br />

Canadian Mash broke sharply from post 1<br />

and led at every call en route to a 1 ½-length<br />

victory over 17-10 favorite Heza Bold Color.<br />

Covering the distance in :45.028, he earned<br />

an 88 speed index. Salvador Martinez rode the<br />

sorrel 5-year-old gelding by Lazy A Dasher for<br />

trainer Hermenegildo “Poppy” Aldavaz.<br />

Canadian Mash was bred by Richard and<br />

Lana Mobley. The gelding became the first<br />

stakes winner from 45 starters sired by Lazy<br />

A Dasher, a winning 19-year-old stallion by<br />

the Easy Six stallion Streakin Six. Lazy A<br />

Dasher is a half brother to two-time Grade<br />

1 winner Shawnes Diamond and 2005 <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong> State Fair <strong>Breeders</strong>’ Derby (RG3)<br />

winner Hi Beamer. To date, Lazy A<br />

Canadian Mash is also one of four winners<br />

from as many starters foaled by his dam, the<br />

winning In Totality (TB) mare Candia Mist<br />

(TB). His second dam, the winning Rocket<br />

Bar (TB) mare Candy Rocket (TB) produced<br />

the late Maskeo Rocket, a colt by Maskeo<br />

Lad who won the 1981 Shue Fly Stakes at<br />

Sunland Park and was a finalist in that<br />

season’s $273,532 Sun Country Futurity.<br />

All told, Canadian Mash has won four of<br />

17 races, and the $72,000 winner’s share of<br />

the Challenger Six purse increased his<br />

earnings to $150,021. The gelding was<br />

coming off of a second-place finish in an 870-<br />

yard allowance-optional claiming race at Zia<br />

Park on November 22.<br />

Whata Lucky Man ran third and was<br />

followed by Bullets Brother, Famous<br />

Uncledavid, South Oak, Key’s Band (TB),<br />

and Littlesouthernswing.<br />

Heza Bold Color earned $26,400 to push<br />

his earnings to $232,202 for his owner, Maria<br />

G. Gonzalez of Edgewood, <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>. The<br />

6-year-old Heza Bold Man gelding has won<br />

eight of 33 races, and he was coming off of a<br />

KAY THURMAN<br />

The NMHBA trustee brings a veterinarian’s perspective to the board.<br />

By Michael Cusortelli.<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> <strong>Breeders</strong>’ <strong>Association</strong><br />

trustee Kay Thurman was bitten by the horse bug<br />

at an early age.<br />

Born in Mountain View, California, a few<br />

miles northwest of San Jose, Thurman moved<br />

with her family to her mother’s native Germany<br />

when she was just 2. It was while she was a<br />

schoolgirl in Germany that she decided she<br />

wanted to eventually own her own horse.<br />

“My mom was horse crazy – she’s the one<br />

who planted the horse bug in me,” Thurman<br />

recalls. “She’d always wanted to move back to the<br />

United States, and when she did she chose<br />

Arizona, I think because she thought it was the<br />

wild west and the desert landscape appealed to<br />

her. I think the main reason she chose Arizona<br />

was so we could have horses.<br />

“When we lived in Germany, we lived in a<br />

densely populated downtown area, so the idea of<br />

having a horse while we were there would’ve<br />

been like having one in the middle of <strong>New</strong> York<br />

City,” she adds. “But when I’d heard we were<br />

moving back to the U.S., I was<br />

determined to save every penny I could<br />

so I could buy a horse.”<br />

Thurman attended German schools<br />

through the eighth grade, and she’s<br />

fluent in the language. After she<br />

graduated from high school in Tucson,<br />

she earned a B.S. in Animal Health<br />

Science from the University of Arizona.<br />

Eventually, she earned a Doctor of<br />

Veterinary Medicine degree from<br />

Colorado State University.<br />

Thurman successfully showed the<br />

first Quarter <strong>Horse</strong> she ever owned, a<br />

gelding named Chips Brown Boy, who<br />

lived a healthy life until he died last<br />

year at the age of 34.<br />

“He was an amazingly healthy<br />

horse and never required much care,”<br />

Thurman says. “I never once treated<br />

him for colic, and I think I floated his<br />

teeth maybe once his whole life. I kind<br />

of babied him. He was just my buddy,<br />

and he went everywhere with me. He<br />

had no stress; he was just pampered. I<br />

think that’s why he lived as long as he<br />

did.”<br />

Thurman lives in Belen and is the<br />

owner of Belen Equine Veterinary<br />

Clinic, a full-service equine<br />

reproduction facility. In addition to<br />

serving on the NMHBA board since<br />

2003, where she served as president in<br />

‘04, she also sits on the board of the<br />

Equine Protection Fund, <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>’s<br />

first equine welfare and assistance<br />

program.<br />

With longtime breeder Richard<br />

Brunacini, Thurman also co-manages the nearby<br />

Brunacini Farm at Belen, which stands two<br />

stallions: Silver Season, a 15-year-old winning and<br />

graded stakes placed son of Silver Ghost and the<br />

NMHBA Thoroughbred freshman sire of the year<br />

in 2006; and Weather Warning, a stakes-winning<br />

7-year-old Storm Cat stallion who joined the<br />

farm’s stallion roster last December.<br />

Brunacini Farm also is home to 14<br />

broodmares, including Rosebird, a winning 15-<br />

30 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Breeder


“Every so<br />

often we<br />

have a<br />

yearling<br />

that<br />

doesn’t<br />

sell and<br />

we end up<br />

keeping it –<br />

like, for<br />

example,<br />

Ciento –<br />

but it’s<br />

always by<br />

default,”<br />

year-old daughter of Storm Bird, and Lord’s<br />

Angel, a 21-year-old Lord Avie mare who won<br />

two stakes from 1992-95, including the ‘93 La<br />

Senora <strong>Breeders</strong>’ Cup Handicap at Sunland<br />

Park.<br />

Thurman and Brunacini breed to sell. Their<br />

top homebred runners include Ciento, a stakeswinning<br />

son of Prospector Jones who earned<br />

$816,244 from 2000-08; Silver Expression, a<br />

daughter of Silver Season and Rosebird who won<br />

the 2006 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Cup Juvenile Fillies Stakes<br />

(R); Good Looker RF, a stakes-winning daughter<br />

of Silver Season; and Skirt Alert, a stakeswinning<br />

mare by the late Prospector<br />

Jones who banked $446,129 from<br />

2005-09.<br />

“Every so often we have a yearling<br />

that doesn’t sell and we end up<br />

keeping it – like, for example, Ciento –<br />

but it’s always by default,” Thurman<br />

says. “We’ve never hand-picked a<br />

yearling and said, ‘We’re not going to<br />

bring this one to the sale.’<br />

“When we keep one, Richard<br />

usually just races them in his name,”<br />

she adds. “I just haven’t found much<br />

satisfaction in racing my own horses. A<br />

good racehorse only wins about 20<br />

percent of its races, which means<br />

you’re going to be disappointed 80<br />

percent of the time. I guess I just don’t<br />

like those odds.”<br />

Thurman recently visited with our<br />

magazine for an interview.<br />

NMHBA Magazine: What<br />

attracted you to the field of veterinary<br />

science?<br />

Kay Thurman: I’ve always<br />

been a pragmatic person, even as a<br />

child, and for a long time I knew I<br />

wanted to pursue a career that involved<br />

horses. But I also wanted to pursue<br />

something that would enable me to<br />

support myself financially, and for me<br />

that was veterinary medicine. I don’t<br />

think I ever thought of anything else.<br />

My mom will tell you that I made<br />

that decision when I was 12 years old,<br />

but I actually think I made it when I<br />

was younger. It was just when I was 12 that I<br />

began weighing all of my academic options.<br />

NMHBA Magazine : What was behind<br />

your decision to specialize in equine<br />

reproduction?<br />

Kay Thurman : I’m not sure. It might<br />

have just been a matter of opportunity. During<br />

my first year of vet school, there was a shortage<br />

of veterinarians who wanted to go into research,<br />

so there was a program that gave salaried<br />

positions to students who were interested in<br />

going into that field. I got one of those positions.<br />

The equine reproduction lab at CSU<br />

pioneered in-vitro procedures and embryo<br />

transfer in horses, and I was there during all of<br />

that. I became fascinated by it. It seemed like I<br />

spent every waking moment at that lab, which is<br />

world-renowned for its work in the field.<br />

I think the main reason I like equine<br />

reproduction is that I’m not necessarily dealing<br />

with life or death. I’m just trying to get a mare in<br />

foal, and I love that. In fact, the more<br />

challenging the mare is to get in foal, the more I<br />

love it. It’s exhilarating, especially because the<br />

owners get so excited.<br />

NMHBA Magazine : How did you get<br />

involved in horse racing?<br />

Kay Thurman : My first job out of<br />

Colorado State was working for Dr. (Stephen)<br />

Derwelis at <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Equine in Albuquerque,<br />

and a large part of his clientele are racehorse<br />

people. From those people, I became familiar<br />

with the breeding program in this state, and<br />

when that happened, I thought, ‘How could I<br />

not get involved in racing?’<br />

When I worked for Dr. Derwelis, we didn’t<br />

do much breeding work – it was mainly surgery –<br />

but from that point on I always felt the breeding<br />

end of it would eventually be my specialty.<br />

NMHBA Magazine : Why do you feel<br />

it’s important for you to serve on the NMHBA<br />

board?<br />

Kay Thurman : I think our breeding<br />

program in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> is great. In fact, I think<br />

it’s so lucrative that it might create some of its own<br />

problems in that everybody wants to be a breeder<br />

and we lose some of our buyers at our sales.<br />

And I’m very passionate about maintaining<br />

what makes it great, so whenever I’ve thought<br />

about not running for re-election for whatever<br />

reason, I get concerned because it seems like<br />

every year there are people who want to<br />

drastically change the rules. As they stand now,<br />

the rules allow everyone in the state to play on<br />

the same level.<br />

If we opened up our borders to where a mare<br />

could go out of state to breed and then come<br />

back to foal, as some people have proposed, we’d<br />

be giving an advantage to people who have the<br />

money to go out and spend a lot of money on<br />

breeding stock. The way the rule is now, where<br />

the stallions and broodmares have to stay in the<br />

state throughout the year, everybody can play.<br />

ALBERT DOMINGUEZ MEMORIAL HANDICAP<br />

Desert Gamble<br />

Desert Gamble, a 16-1 longshot, rallied<br />

to win the January 2, $100,000 Albert<br />

Dominguez Memorial Handicap (R) for<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-breds at Sunland Park.<br />

Ridden by Justin Shepherd for the first<br />

time in his 19-race career, Desert Gamble<br />

went 1 1/16 miles in 1:46.27 after closing<br />

off of the fractions of :23.51, :47.80, and<br />

1:12.55 set by Huntin The Trash and 2-1<br />

favorite Enchanted Outlaw. Joel Marr<br />

saddled the newly turned 6-year-old<br />

chestnut gelding by Desert God for owners<br />

Joe Allen and Michael Stinson.<br />

“I think we got lucky, but he’d been<br />

training well,” said Marr, who also trains<br />

runner-up and 5-2 second choice Lefty<br />

Who. “<strong>This</strong> stakes race was a good<br />

opportunity for him to route.”<br />

Desert Gamble was bred by Allen, a<br />

resident of Abilene, Texas, and the gelding<br />

became the 15 th stakes winner from 123<br />

starters sired by Desert God, an unraced 20-<br />

year-old son of Fappiano and 1982 Kentucky<br />

Oaks (G1) winner Blush With Pride. The<br />

stallion is a half brother to three graded stakes<br />

winners, including 1998 Demoiselle Stakes<br />

(G2) winner Blush With Honour, and his 16<br />

crops have earned more than $6.6 million<br />

and include $1-million earner Peppers Pride.<br />

Owned by Allen and his cousin Ron<br />

Allen, Desert God stands for a $6,000 fee at<br />

produced two winners from as many<br />

starters, including Sunnie Do It, a daughter<br />

of Do It Again Dan who won five stakes in<br />

Arizona and Kansas from 1997-2000.<br />

Campaigned exclusively in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>,<br />

Desert Gamble has earned $179,604 from five<br />

wins in 19 outs. The gelding was coming off<br />

of a fifth-place finish in the one-mile Rocky<br />

Gulch <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Cup Championship (R) at<br />

Desert Gamble also ran fourth, 4 ½<br />

lengths behind winner Gulchrunssweet, in<br />

last year’s 2009 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Cup Sprint<br />

Stakes (R) at Zia Park.<br />

Desert Gamble’s winning margin was a<br />

neck from Lefty Who, and he returned a<br />

32 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Breeder


If our<br />

purses<br />

were<br />

higher, I<br />

think that<br />

might give<br />

buyers the<br />

confidence<br />

to step up<br />

and spend<br />

a little<br />

more<br />

money on<br />

our horses.<br />

Continued from page 31<br />

We stand two studs, and financially it would<br />

be good for us if mares could come in from out<br />

of state, breed to our stallions, then go back to<br />

Colorado, Texas, or wherever, because then we’d<br />

get more mares to our studs. But in the long run,<br />

I think it would hurt the breeding program here,<br />

and that’s why I’ve been very protective of the<br />

rule. If we were to change it in this way, it could<br />

force some of the smaller breeders to get out of<br />

the business.<br />

A lot of people who say we should open the<br />

borders, even on a limited basis, say that we’d<br />

improve the quality of our <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong>-breds, and that might be true.<br />

We probably would, but our industry’s<br />

demographics are aging, and we’re not<br />

attracting a lot of new people to the<br />

sport. So if we improve our quality but<br />

aren’t attracting new fans, what<br />

difference would it ultimately make?<br />

NMHBA Magazine : How<br />

do you respond to people who say<br />

opening the borders would help <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong>-breds sell for more money at<br />

the sales?<br />

Kay Thurman : It would be<br />

nice if every yearling sold for what we<br />

thought it was worth, but we all know<br />

they don’t, and I think the reason they<br />

don’t is because there aren’t enough<br />

buyers. I don’t think the problem is<br />

with the quality, because you’re not<br />

going to buy a horse at the Ruidoso<br />

sale and bring it to a state like<br />

Kentucky to race it. It’s only going to<br />

race against other <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-breds.<br />

I think the problem is that people<br />

aren’t really making money with their<br />

racehorses, and they know that, so it’s<br />

difficult for them to justify spending<br />

too much money if they know they<br />

won’t be able to race them and make<br />

money. If our purses were higher, I<br />

think that might give buyers the<br />

confidence to step up and spend a<br />

little more money on our horses.<br />

If we did change the rule to allow<br />

a mare to breed to an out-of-state<br />

stallion – let’s say one in Kentucky –<br />

and bring that foal back and sell it at our sale,<br />

that one individual yearling would probably<br />

shine and bring a lot of money. But I don’t<br />

think a lot of buyers would be interested in the<br />

rest of the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-breds at that sale,<br />

because they might not think they could<br />

compete against horses by out-of-state stallions.<br />

NMHBA Magazine : Are there other<br />

reasons you serve on the board?<br />

Kay Thurman : I think our sport has an<br />

image problem nationally, and I’d like to do what<br />

I can to fix that. When Eight Belles broke down<br />

after the (2008) Kentucky Derby, there was a<br />

perception among the general public that ours is<br />

a cruel industry. If we want to promote racing<br />

and get younger people interested in it, we have<br />

to fix that perception.<br />

I also think it’s important that we continue<br />

to work on the unwanted horse issue. Last year,<br />

the American <strong>Horse</strong> Council did a study that<br />

revealed which part of the horse industry<br />

contributed more to the unwanted horse<br />

population, and it turns out that racing<br />

contributed to it the least, less than any of the<br />

others. But I think the public perception is that<br />

racing is the number one contributor.<br />

NMHBA Magazine : What are some of<br />

the other challenges you see facing the racing<br />

industry, particularly here in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>?<br />

Kay Thurman : We have a product to<br />

sell, and that’s racing. Our purses are primarily<br />

funded by gaming – and the slot machines at our<br />

tracks bring in a lot of money – but our hands are<br />

tied as far as being able to improve that. We<br />

pretty much can’t change anything for the next<br />

35 years. We’re probably not going to get more<br />

slots, and we’re likely not going to get table<br />

games. All of that is pretty much non-negotiable<br />

for a long time.<br />

So we have to increase the handle on the<br />

races. If we drew more people to the track, that<br />

would mean our handle would go up, our purses<br />

would go up, and people would be willing to<br />

spend more on our horses at the sale. We need to<br />

get more people at the track betting on our races,<br />

or nothing is going to happen.<br />

We can breed better horses, but I don’t think<br />

that ultimately is going to save the sport or help<br />

it grow. We have to attract more people to the<br />

sport, and to me the easiest and quickest way<br />

would be to work on online betting. In my<br />

opinion, that’s something that has to happen<br />

pretty quick.<br />

NMHBA Magazine : Do you think we<br />

will ultimately see a sixth track open in this state,<br />

either in Raton, Tucumcari, or Santa Fe?<br />

Kay Thurman : I think so, but I have a<br />

feeling everything is going to be so tied up in<br />

legal battles that it might be a year or two before<br />

it all gets settled. I think we need another track. I<br />

don’t own my own horses, but I talk to a lot of<br />

people who do, and they tell me they can’t get<br />

their horses in races because they overfill. If they<br />

can’t race their horses, they can’t make money,<br />

and that hurts the industry.<br />

<strong>New</strong>s and notes from the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> <strong>Breeders</strong>’<br />

<strong>Association</strong>’s 2011 annual meeting in Albuquerque.<br />

The <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> <strong>Breeders</strong>’ <strong>Association</strong> held its<br />

annual business meeting at the Marriott Uptown Hotel in<br />

Albuquerque on January 27.<br />

In his address to the membership, NMHBA president<br />

Mike Cadotte of Peralta stressed the importance of<br />

contacting legislators and reminding them of the positive<br />

impact the horse racing industry has on the state’s<br />

economy.<br />

“We started sending our (<strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Breeder)<br />

magazine to the legislators about two years ago, and I’ve<br />

received positive feedback about the magazine and our<br />

breeding program from the senators and representatives<br />

I’ve talked to,” Cadotte said. “We’re getting their<br />

attention.<br />

“All of us need to remind our legislators of the impact<br />

our industry has on <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>’s economy,” he added.<br />

“If we don’t, we’re missing a great opportunity to help the<br />

industry grow.”<br />

It was announced that last year the NMHBA paid<br />

$386,323.90 to the owners of <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-bred<br />

Thoroughbreds and Quarter <strong>Horse</strong>s who finished first,<br />

second, or third in open races at the state’s five tracks. <strong>This</strong><br />

marked a 19-percent increase over the $325,766.10 paid in<br />

2009.<br />

Also, a total of 1,476 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-bred foals were<br />

registered by the NMHBA last year, a 16-percent decrease<br />

from the 1,751 foals registered in ‘09. The number of<br />

broodmares registered in 2010 was 556, down 6 percent<br />

from the 594 registered the previous year. However, the<br />

number of stallions registered in 2010 reached 55, up 31<br />

percent from the 42 registered in 2009.<br />

Animal Protection of <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Inc. program<br />

director Laura Bonar addressed the NMHBA<br />

membership for the second consecutive year. Based in<br />

Albuquerque, APNM was founded in 1979 to promote<br />

the humane treatment of animals and strengthen animal<br />

cruelty laws.<br />

Bonar’s presentation focused on APNM’s Equine<br />

Protection Fund, which was established two years ago. She<br />

focused on two new programs, including “Trail’s End,”<br />

which was introduced at the end of 2010 and subsidizes<br />

some veterinary fees and disposal costs for humanely<br />

euthanizing horses and other equines at the end of their<br />

lives. To qualify, low-income horse owners must have<br />

verification from a licensed veterinarian. Law enforcement<br />

and horse shelters licensed by the <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Livestock<br />

Board are also eligible for this assistance.<br />

The NMHBA donated $2,000 to help start the other<br />

new program, Racing to Home, which helps re-train<br />

retired racehorses for other equine disciplines.<br />

Other Equine Protection Fund programs include<br />

Emergency Feed Assistance, which is available to <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong>-resident horse owners who have lost a job or had<br />

a medical emergency within the past six months, and a<br />

Volunteer Network made up of individuals who assist<br />

needy horses with feed, supplies, and their own personal<br />

skills.<br />

For more information about the Equine Protection<br />

Fund, visit www.equineprotectionfund.org, or call APNM<br />

at (505) 265-2322. The website includes links to other<br />

sites that offer tips on buying horses and caring for older<br />

horses.<br />

A letter sent by Patti Shirley,<br />

manager of the Equine Encore<br />

Foundation, discussed her<br />

organization’s efforts to care for retired<br />

racehorses at its 120-acre facility in<br />

Tucson, Arizona. Established in 2005,<br />

the foundation currently is home to 65<br />

horses, and the cost to care for these<br />

horses ranges from $520-$780 per day.<br />

Most of the resident horses are geldings<br />

from racetracks in Arizona and <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong> including Gulchrunssweet, a<br />

stakes-winning gelding who was retired<br />

last December after a long career in<br />

which he earned $842,658 from 72<br />

starts.<br />

34 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Breeder<br />

Gulchrunssweet arrived at the<br />

foundation’s facility on January 11.<br />

Other notable residents include<br />

Runmore Mema, a <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-bred<br />

gelding who won the $103,700 <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong> State University Handicap (R)<br />

at Sunland Park in 2002, and Russian<br />

Elite, a <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-bred stakes winner<br />

who was retired after he sustained a<br />

knee injury in a morning gallop.<br />

The Equine Encore Foundation’s<br />

noteworthy past residents include the<br />

late Blue Oyster Cult, an Arizona<br />

Quarter Racing <strong>Association</strong> champion<br />

who won 17 races during his career,<br />

and Rocket On Sound, a Quarter <strong>Horse</strong><br />

who specialized in 870-yard races. After<br />

he recovered from a bowed tendon at<br />

the facility, Rocket On Sound was<br />

adopted by a family in Texas and is now<br />

their riding horse.<br />

To help fund operating costs, which<br />

Shirley said can be more than<br />

$100,000 a year, the foundation<br />

receives support from many industry<br />

entities, including Sunland Park<br />

Racetrack and Casino and the <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong>men’s <strong>Association</strong>. For<br />

more information or to make a<br />

RED HEDEMAN MILE<br />

Jannas Pride<br />

Juan Ochoa rode Jannas Pride to a comefrom-behind,<br />

1 ½-length victory in the<br />

December 30 Red Hedeman Mile Stakes for<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-bred 2-year-olds at Sunland Park.<br />

Prepped by Todd Fincher for owners<br />

Charles W. Hunter and Dale Taylor, Jannas<br />

Pride covered one mile in 1:40.33 after closing<br />

off of fractions of :23.32, :47.21, and 1:12.09<br />

set by pacesetter Silent Sunday. The dark bay or<br />

brown Desert God gelding returned a $3.80<br />

win mutuel as the 9-10 favorite.<br />

Jannas Pride was bred by Hunter, and the<br />

gelding is one of 14 stakes winners from 123<br />

starters sired by Desert God. A unraced 19-<br />

year-old son of the Mr. Prospector stallion<br />

Fappiano and half brother to stakes winners<br />

Better Than Honour, Smolensk, and Turnberry<br />

Isle, Desert God has sired the earners of more<br />

than $6.5 million from 15 crops, including the<br />

undefeated $1-million earner Peppers Pride. He<br />

is owned by Joe Allen and Ron Allen and<br />

stands for a $6,000 fee at A & A <strong>Horse</strong> Ranch<br />

at Anthony, <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>.<br />

Jannas Pride’s dam, Janna, is a winning<br />

daughter of the Yukon stallion Candi’s Gold.<br />

<strong>Now</strong> 15, Janna has foaled three winners from<br />

four starters, including Janna’s Gold, a half<br />

sister to Jannas Pride who ran second in the<br />

2004 Sierra Starlet Handicap (R) at Ruidoso<br />

Downs and ’05 Carlos Salazar Stakes (R) at<br />

The Downs at Albuquerque.<br />

Jannas Pride’s second dam, the Shanekite mare<br />

Frans Lass, won two stakes at Santa Anita in<br />

’93, including the $111,650 California<br />

<strong>Breeders</strong>’ Champion Stakes (R) for state-breds.<br />

Frans Lass has produced six winners from seven<br />

starters, including the late French Lass, a filly by<br />

French Deputy who ran second in the 2002<br />

Bayou City Stakes at Sam Houston Race Park.<br />

Frans Lass is a full sister to two stakes winners –<br />

the late Irishkite, the winner of the 1988<br />

Bustles & Bows Stakes during the Los Angeles<br />

County Fair meet at Fairplex Park, and the late<br />

Shanes Lass, a filly who won three stakes in<br />

Northern California from 1990-91. A half sister<br />

to Frans Lass, the Tricky Creek filly Unique<br />

Creek, won two stakes at Louisiana Downs and<br />

Sam Houston Race Park from 1999-2000.<br />

Jannas Pride traces back to her fourth dam, the<br />

winning and stakes-placed Montparnasse II<br />

mare Metropo Miss. A 1970 California-bred<br />

foal, Metropo Miss produced four-time stakes<br />

winner Elegant Bargain and Bourbon And<br />

Blues, a colt by Olympiad King who won three<br />

stakes in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> from 1984-86, including<br />

the ’86 E.T. Springer Handicap at<br />

Albuquerque.<br />

Jannas Pride currently has a four-race win<br />

streak that includes the one-mile, $120,000<br />

Eddy County Stakes (R) for state-bred 2-yearolds<br />

at Zia Park on December 5. The gelding<br />

has won four of six starts, and the $72,000<br />

winner’s share of the Red Hedeman Mile purse<br />

increased his earnings to $187,350.<br />

Also, Jannas Pride is undefeated in three<br />

outs at the mile distance.<br />

Jannas Pride teamed with Deity, a 47-1<br />

longshot, for a ($1) exacta return of $41.<br />

Desert Gulch, a 57-1 longshot, completed a<br />

$281.70 ($1) trifecta.<br />

Numberoneson, It’s Tera, Mostly Dust,<br />

Beau Wizer, Silent Sunday, Keddy Kaufaye, and<br />

Texas Silver completed the order of finish.<br />

Deity is a chestnut gelding by Desert God<br />

acquired by Freda McSwane and Joe Walters<br />

for $2,000 at the 2009 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-Bred<br />

Yearling Sale at Ruidoso Downs. An earner of<br />

$51,246 from one win in eight races, Deity was<br />

coming off of a fourth-place finish in the Eddy<br />

County Stakes, and he also was a finalist in the<br />

August 1, 5 ½-furlong Rio Grande Senor<br />

Futurity (R) at Ruidoso Downs.<br />

PEPSI COLA STAKES<br />

Beau Wizer<br />

Outrunning his 19-1 odds, Beau Wizer<br />

won the January 22, $120,000 Pepsi Cola<br />

Stakes (R) for <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-bred 3-year-olds at<br />

Sunland Park.<br />

Beau Wizer covered 6 furlongs in 1:11.53<br />

while posting his second victory in eight starts.<br />

Casey Lambert rode the chestnut gelding by<br />

Premeditation for owners Mike and Suzanne<br />

Carson and Leach Racing LLC and trainer H.<br />

Ray Ashford.<br />

“We had a good trip,” said Lambert, who<br />

has ridden Beau Wizer in all eight of the<br />

gelding’s races. “He broke really sharp and was<br />

cruising along. He took over nicely in the<br />

stretch.<br />

“It got a little questionable late, but we had<br />

enough to hold them off,” he added.<br />

Bred by the Carsons, Beau Wizer became<br />

the fourth stakes winner from 22 starters sired<br />

by Premeditation, a 12-year-old son of the<br />

Private Terms stallion Afternoon Deelites whose<br />

five crops have earned more than $1.17 million.<br />

A half brother to Grade 3 winner Real Dandy,<br />

Premeditation won four stakes from 2002-03,<br />

including the $100,000 Alysheba <strong>Breeders</strong>’<br />

Cup Stakes at Lone Star Park in ‘02, and the<br />

$50,000 Winsham Lad Handicap at Sunland<br />

Park the following season. The stallion is owned<br />

by William L. Clifton Jr., and he stands for a<br />

$3,000 fee at Fred and Linda Alexander’s A &<br />

A Ranch in Anthony, <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>.<br />

Beau Wizer is also one of three winners<br />

from as many starters foaled by Miss Einstein, a<br />

13-year-old daughter of the Bold Ruckus<br />

stallion Beau Genius who won the 2000<br />

Kachina Stakes at Ruidoso Downs and ‘01<br />

Anchor Gaming Allowance Stakes at Sunland<br />

Park. Beau Wizer’s full brother, Double Smart,<br />

won last year’s $192,075 Rocky Gulch <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong> Cup Championship (R) at Zia Park.<br />

Beau Wizer’s second dam, the unraced Tim<br />

The Tiger mare Clause, produced nine winners<br />

from 12 starters, including Z Lobo, a gelding<br />

by Key To The Mint who ran second in the<br />

1994 Precisionist Stakes at Hollywood Park.<br />

A 1986 Kentucky-bred foal, Clause is a half<br />

sister to three stakes winners: Air Worthy, an<br />

Air Forbes Won gelding who won the Grade 3,<br />

$113,700 Stephen Foster Handicap at<br />

Churchill Downs in 1989; the late Cuttin A<br />

Rug, a filly by Blade who won the ‘85 Gay<br />

Dalton Stakes at The Downs at Albuquerque;<br />

and Parting Guest, a Peaks And Valleys colt<br />

who won the 2001 Borderland Derby at<br />

Sunland Park.<br />

Beau Wizer’s fourth dam, the Marylandbred<br />

Northern Dancer mare Danceable, foaled<br />

Cozzy Grey, a gelding by Cozzene who won<br />

the 1993 Canadian Derby at Northlands Park<br />

in Edmonton, Alberta. Beau Wizer traces back<br />

to his fifth dam, Spicy Living, a daughter of<br />

Gallant Man who won six stakes from 1963-<br />

64, including the ‘63 Acorn and Mother<br />

Goose stakes at Belmont Park.<br />

An earner of $151,749, Beau Wizer was<br />

coming off of a seventh-place finish in the onemile,<br />

$120,000 Red Hedeman Mile Stakes (R)<br />

at Sunland Park on December 30. On April<br />

17, the gelding ran third in the colts and<br />

geldings division of the $125,162 Copper Top<br />

Futurity (R) for state-bred 2-year-olds.<br />

Beau Wizer’s 2-year-old stakes resume also<br />

included a second-place finish in the one-mile,<br />

$120,000 Eddy County Stakes (R) at Zia Park.<br />

“Backing him up to a sprint might have<br />

helped today,” said Ashford. “He’s done<br />

everything we’ve asked of him. He’s been<br />

competing steadily since the Copper Top<br />

Futurity last spring.”<br />

It’s Tera finished second, a neck behind<br />

Beau Wizer. Capitol Guy, Spartan Warrior,<br />

Texas Silver, Sapello Cantador, 9-10 favorite<br />

Russian Lane, Dodson, and Silent Sunday<br />

completed the order of finish.<br />

It’s Tera is a gray or roan colt by To Teras<br />

racing for Maria G. Gonzalez of Edgewood,<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>. The runner-up share of the Pepsi<br />

Cola Stakes purse increased It’s Tera’s bankroll<br />

to $45,970 from one win in four outs.<br />

A chestnut colt by Dome, Capitol Guy<br />

banked $12,000 to push his earnings to<br />

$37,000 for owner James R. McClintic.<br />

Capitol Guy has won two of his three races,<br />

including a 6-furlong entry-level allowance<br />

sprint at Sunland on January 4.<br />

ENCHANTRESS STAKES<br />

Highspeed Rescue<br />

Highspeed Rescue overcame a poor start<br />

to win the December 19, $120,000<br />

Enchantress Stakes (R) for <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>bred<br />

2-year-old fillies at Sunland Park.<br />

Owned and trained by Barbara Jean<br />

Brown, Highspeed Rescue covered her onemile<br />

trip in 1:39.97, closing off of the<br />

fractions of :22.22 and :46.34 set by<br />

pacesetter Tin Can Kitty. Jockey Joe<br />

Martinez rode the dark bay or brown<br />

Union Mills filly to her second win in eight<br />

starts and first stakes victory.<br />

Highspeed Rescue was bred by Ernest<br />

Riggs, and the filly became the first stakes<br />

winner from four starters sired by Union<br />

Mills, a winning son of the Mr. Prospector<br />

stallion Gulch and a half brother to Laurie<br />

Begone, a filly by St. Jovite who won the<br />

2002 Brookmeade Stakes (R) on the turf at<br />

Colonial Downs in Virginia. <strong>Now</strong> 13,<br />

Union Mills has sired the earners of more<br />

than $146,600 from three crops. The<br />

stallion is owned by Riggs and stands at his<br />

farm in Arrey, <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>.<br />

Highspeed Rescue is the first starter<br />

foaled by her dam, the Maryland-bred<br />

Allen’s Prospect mare Rescue Me. <strong>Now</strong> 13,<br />

Rescue Me is a half sister to Potomac City, a<br />

colt by Citidancer who ran second in the<br />

2000 Bobby Hale Stakes at Timonium<br />

Racecourse in Maryland.<br />

Highspeed Rescue’s third dam, the late<br />

King’s Bishop mare Check The Queen,<br />

produced six winners from nine starters,<br />

including Wainee Church, a stakes-winning<br />

filly by Hawaii who ran second in the 1986<br />

Maryland Juvenile Filly Championship (R)<br />

at Laurel Park.<br />

Highspeed Rescue traces back to her<br />

third dam, the late Johns Joy mare<br />

Euphorbia. A 1964 Kentucky-bred foal,<br />

Euphorbia produced nine winners from 13<br />

starters, including the stakes-winning King’s<br />

Bishop filly Chasuble.<br />

The $72,000 winner’s share of the<br />

Enchantress Stakes’ purse pushed<br />

Highspeed Rescue’s earnings to $111,334.<br />

The filly was seven weeks removed from a<br />

third-place finish in the 6-furlong,<br />

$152,690 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Cup Juvenile Fillies<br />

Stakes (R) at Zia Park, and earlier this year<br />

she was a finalist in the fillies division of the<br />

Copper Top Futurity (R) at Sunland Park.<br />

A 21-1 longshot, Highspeed Rescue<br />

returned a $4 win mutuel. Shamrock Girl,<br />

the 6-5 favorite, ran second, 3 ½ lengths<br />

behind the winner and completed a ($2)<br />

exacta payoff of $143.40. Squall Wilbud,<br />

the 19-10 second choice finished third to<br />

round out a $132 ($1) trifecta return.<br />

Like The Wind, Squallena, Tequila<br />

Moonrise, Ruby Tequila, Carmon’s Trick,<br />

AJ’s Flicka, and Tin Can Kitty completed<br />

the order of finish.<br />

Shamrock Girl is a bay daughter of King<br />

Bull owned and trained by David<br />

Wolochuk, and the $25,200 second-place<br />

share of the purse increased her bankroll to<br />

$136,288. Shamrock Girl’s four wins in<br />

eight outs include a 6 ¼-length score in the<br />

6-furlong, $67,412 Dessie & Fern Sawyer<br />

Futurity (R) for <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-bred fillies at<br />

rallied to win the one-mile, $100,000<br />

Sydney Valentini Handicap (R) for <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong>-bred distaffers at Sunland Park on<br />

February 19.<br />

Ridden by Alejandro Medellin for trainer<br />

Jose Gonzalez Jr., La Sorpresa covered her<br />

eight-furlong trip in 1:37.51, closing off of<br />

the fractions of :23.53, :47.20, and 1:11.85<br />

set by pacesetter Fan’s Cat. La Sorpresa’s<br />

victory was her second in a stakes, as the 6-<br />

year-old mare scored a 1 1/4-length victory<br />

in last year’s Sydney Valentini.<br />

Desert Tap, a 45-1 longshot, finished<br />

second, 3 3/4-lengths behind La Sorpresa.<br />

Cali Baby, the 3-10 favorite, ran third.<br />

La Sorpresa was bred by Miguel<br />

Gallegos, and the mare is one of two stakes<br />

winners from 16 starters sired by Valet Man,<br />

a winning son of the Mr. Prospector stallion<br />

Carson City and half brother to 2007<br />

Pacific Classic Stakes (G1) winner Student<br />

Council and Grade 3 winner Gradepoint.<br />

<strong>Now</strong> 13, Valet Man has sired the earners of<br />

more than $642,700 from five crops, and<br />

La Sorpresa represents his top earner. He<br />

stands for a $3,000 fee at Gallegos Del<br />

Norte Farm in Albuquerque.<br />

La Sorpresa is also one of two winners<br />

from three starters foaled by Sea Sis, a 12-<br />

year-old daughter of the Believe It stallion<br />

Al Mamoon. Sea Sis’s full brother, the Al<br />

Mamoon gelding Sea To See, was a twotime<br />

turf stakes winner in California who<br />

ran third in the 2001 Ascot Handicap (G3)<br />

and Bay Meadows Derby (G3).<br />

La Sorpresa traces back to her fourth<br />

dam, the unraced Sea-Bird mare Seadell. A<br />

1970 Kentucky-bred foal, Seadell produced<br />

eight winners from 13 starters, including<br />

the stakes-placed Vitriolic colt Rough Sea.<br />

Campaigned exclusively in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>, La<br />

Sorpresa has won seven of 25 races, and the<br />

$60,000 winner’s share of the Sydney Valentini<br />

Handicap pushed her earnings to $364,483.<br />

The mare’s stakes resume includes a secondplace<br />

finish to Cali Baby in the October 31,<br />

$182,690 Peppers Pride <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Cup<br />

Fillies & Mares Championship (R) at Zia Park.<br />

Dream Kin ran fourth and was followed<br />

by Jengoneby, Please N Teras, Fan’s Cat,<br />

Runner-up Desert Tap banked $21,500 for<br />

her owner, William Du Pont III. A 4-year-old<br />

filly by Desert God, Desert Tap has won two<br />

runner-up effort in last year’s 6 1/2-furlong,<br />

$75,000 Aztec Oaks Stakes (R) for state-bred<br />

sophomore fillies at SunRay Park.<br />

Cali Baby brought a four-race win streak<br />

Feeding for Breeding<br />

(Feeding the Estrous Cycle)<br />

By Heather<br />

Smith Thomas<br />

N<br />

utrition is an<br />

important factor<br />

issue for getting mares in<br />

foal is just making sure<br />

to have them thin and in a<br />

gaining condition.<br />

in equine<br />

they are fat enough.<br />

Research shows, however,<br />

reproduction. If a mare<br />

“There have been some<br />

that you are better off<br />

doesn’t have adequate<br />

misconceptions over the<br />

having them a little on the<br />

nutrients available in feed<br />

years in thinking that fat<br />

plump side. They<br />

or in her stored body fat,<br />

mares are not fertile; you<br />

shouldn’t be obese, but<br />

she won’t cycle. Dr. Brian<br />

want them thin when<br />

they need to be in a body<br />

Nielsen, Michigan State<br />

trying to breed them, or<br />

condition score of five or<br />

University, says the biggest<br />

that the ideal situation is<br />

better,” he says.<br />

If the mare is thin, it will<br />

delay her return to cycling in the<br />

spring. “It also makes it more<br />

difficult to get her in foal. If<br />

you do get her in foal, you<br />

increase the risk of losing that<br />

pregnancy along the way if she is<br />

thin. There’s no good reason to<br />

have a mare thin,” says Nielsen.<br />

Another factor to think about<br />

(even though BSC 5 is<br />

considered ideal) is that she is<br />

better off to have some fat<br />

reserves by the time she foals,<br />

and actually at a body score six<br />

or seven. “Even if she is BSC 5<br />

at foaling, the problem is that<br />

her energy demands increase<br />

dramatically at that time, for<br />

lactation,” he says. The mare is<br />

going to lose weight, and unless<br />

she has some reserves, lactation<br />

may pull her down to where<br />

she’s less apt to cycle properly<br />

for rebreeding.<br />

Owners should plan ahead.<br />

“If you think the mare will be<br />

BSC 5 at foaling, you need to be<br />

feeding her more, so she’ll have<br />

58 <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> <strong>Horse</strong> Breeder


more leeway after she starts lactating. As<br />

someone once said, you should feed a mare<br />

like a dairy cow; otherwise she’ll look like<br />

one.” The cow is putting it all into the<br />

milk and not much on herself.<br />

Other than having adequate energy to<br />

keep her in proper body condition, there<br />

are not a lot of other demands on her body<br />

for breeding or early pregnancy—for the<br />

maiden or barren mare. The lactating mare<br />

is a different story; you need to feed her for<br />

lactation as well as for becoming pregnant<br />

again.<br />

“For the barren mare you plan to breed,<br />

there are no specific requirements other<br />

than a well-balanced maintenance diet,” says<br />

Nielsen. Just make sure all feeds are good<br />

quality. Best breeding success generally<br />

occurs when we try to mimic<br />

Mother Nature. The natural<br />

breeding season for mares<br />

coincides with green grass—<br />

which has high quality protein<br />

and adequate nutrients for<br />

cycling, pregnancy and<br />

lactation under natural<br />

conditions.<br />

“Mother Nature is a little<br />

smarter than we are. If we are<br />

trying to breed mares early,<br />

then we must try to simulate<br />

the kind of diet the mare<br />

would have during more<br />

optimal conditions. I always<br />

recommend using a<br />

commercial type of<br />

concentrate that has been<br />

balanced by equine<br />

nutritionists. It will have the<br />

proper types and amounts of<br />

vitamins, minerals, proteins,<br />

etc. If you are trying to<br />

create a ration yourself, you<br />

might not achieve the same<br />

plane of nutrition,” says<br />

Nielsen.<br />

“We are not as advanced in<br />

our knowledge of equine<br />

nutrition as we are for most<br />

other livestock species, so we<br />

can’t tell you exactly all the<br />

amino acid requirements or<br />

precisely what level of minerals are needed,<br />

but we’re close enough that you can hedge<br />

your bets and just feed a good, balanced<br />

diet with good quality hay and the mare will<br />

do fine,” he says.<br />

“Studies haven’t shown that if you feed<br />

mares a poor quality hay (yet are meeting<br />

the energy requirements) that you’d have a<br />

lower conception rate, but it’s not out of<br />

the realm of possibility,” says Nielsen.<br />

Across the board, most mares will go ahead<br />

and cycle and breed, but you might find an<br />

individual mare that won’t. So you want to<br />

cover all your bases and have optimum<br />

conditions, since Mother Nature has mares<br />

programmed to breed when nutritional<br />

conditions are at their best.<br />

It’s also a good idea to be cautious about<br />

using unproven supplements. “You might<br />

cause harm in overdoing certain<br />

supplements. A study a few years ago<br />

looked at Omega 3 fatty acids. These seem<br />

to have a number of advantages for things<br />

like arthritis and in reproductive issues (like<br />

stallions whose semen doesn’t ship well).<br />

But problems can occur when a person tries<br />

to extrapolate some findings across the<br />

board,” he says.<br />

“The study at Kansas State University,<br />

published in 2006, looked at feeding Omega<br />

3 fatty acids to horses. They found that<br />

some mixtures of Omega 3 fatty acids<br />

actually delayed how soon the mares started<br />

to cycle. Mares that were supplemented with<br />

DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA<br />

(eicosapentaenoic acid) during late gestation<br />

and early lactation had their first post-partum<br />

ovulation delayed by about ten days. The<br />

mares had a large follicle during the first<br />

post-partum estrus period for over six days<br />

longer. Mares supplemented with just DHA<br />

did not experience these delays. You can run<br />

into potential problems when using certain<br />

supplements,” he explains. <strong>This</strong> is a case<br />

where, in some reproductive issues (stallions,<br />

shipping semen), there were beneficial<br />

effects, but with mares these two Omega 3<br />

fatty acids used together produced problems.<br />

<strong>Horse</strong> owners sometimes need to<br />

question whether a supplement is actually<br />

needed. You don’t want to overdo<br />

something, thinking more is better. “For<br />

instance, Omega 3 fatty acids inhibit<br />

prostaglandins. <strong>This</strong> is part of the reason<br />

they can be helpful in reducing<br />

inflammation in the body. But certain<br />

prostaglandins are important in<br />

reproductive events, being part of the<br />

hormonal messages,” he explains.<br />

The wise thing is to be careful about<br />

giving the mare too much of any certain<br />

thing because you might end up creating<br />

problems. <strong>This</strong> is also true<br />

when using herbs and socalled<br />

natural supplements.<br />

You don’t always know<br />

what effect these might<br />

have on reproduction.<br />

“There hasn’t been much<br />

testing done on these.<br />

Just because it’s an herb<br />

and a natural substance<br />

doesn’t mean it’s safe,”<br />

Nielsen says. We must<br />

remember there are also<br />

many natural poisons.<br />

“Especially with herbs,<br />

there is potential for<br />

altering certain things that<br />

you aren’t even aware of.<br />

The best advice, regarding<br />

nutrition for the mare you<br />

want to breed, is to keep it<br />

basic, and simple, and you<br />

are less likely to cause<br />

problems.”<br />

It’s not always easy to<br />

find answers to nutritional<br />

questions. “Even research<br />

has some bias, but there is<br />

some filtering process in<br />

scientific papers. The<br />

problem for the average<br />

horse owner is that if they<br />

go on line to search for<br />

answers, they will find a lot<br />

of conflicting information and some things<br />

that may not be valid. It can be tough to<br />

sort through this. Regarding any<br />

supplement, when in doubt, leave it out.<br />

The likelihood of doing more harm than<br />

good is always there.” Stick to the basics<br />

and you are less likely to go wrong.<br />

Highspeed Rescue in the one-mile,<br />

$120,000 Enchantress Stakes (R) at<br />

helped today,” said Wolochuk. “She’s not<br />

really a natural miler.”<br />

Shamrock Girl has won five of nine races,<br />

and the $72,000 winner’s share of the La<br />

LA CONEJA STAKES (R)<br />

Shemoves<br />

A one-time $10,000 claimer, Shemoves<br />

led at every call en route to a two-length<br />

win in the March 27, $120,000 La Coneja<br />

Stakes (R) for <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-bred fillies and<br />

mares at Sunland Park.<br />

Shemoves covered 5 ½ furlongs in 1:03.67<br />

under jockey Ramsey Zimmerman, after she<br />

established fractions of :21.78 and :44.79.<br />

Weston Martin saddled Shemoves for owners<br />

Charles E. Trimble and Tommy Gunstream.<br />

The La Coneja marked the first stakes<br />

start for Shemoves, a 6-year-old gray or<br />

roan mare who was bred by Trimble.<br />

Shemoves became the 18th stakes winner<br />

from 158 starters sired by Ghostly Moves, a<br />

19-year-old son of the Mr. Prospector<br />

stallion Silver Ghost who during his racing<br />

career earned $272,259 from 23 starts and<br />

ran second to Tejano Run in the 1997<br />

Widener Handicap (G3) at Hialeah Park.<br />

Bred in Virginia by Edward P. Evans,<br />

Ghostly Moves has sired 101 winners foals<br />

and the earners of more than $8.1 million,<br />

including multiple stakes winner Some Ghost.<br />

Shemoves’ dam, Great Aviator, is a<br />

winning 13-year-old daughter of the<br />

Timeless Moment stallion Great Gladiator.<br />

Shemoves traces back to her fifth dam, Vase,<br />

a stakes-winning Kentucky-bred daughter of<br />

two-time U.S. champion Native Dancer.<br />

The $72,000 winner’s share of the La<br />

Coneja purse increased Shemoves’ earnings<br />

to $179,339. The mare has won six of 14<br />

races, including a 5 1/2-furlong $25,000<br />

claiming sprint for <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>-bred mares<br />

at Sunland Park on January 2. Shemoves<br />

competed for a $10,000 tag at Ruidoso<br />

Downs two years ago.<br />

Cali Baby, the 11-10 choice in the field<br />

of 11, ran second. Tricky R.,<br />

Pocketfullachime, Mylilmemo, Fan’s Cat,<br />

Happy Me, Ambers Pride, Teras Baby,<br />

Glory Be Mine, and Awintersdream<br />

completed the order of finish.<br />

A homebred 5-year-old mare by the late<br />

Thatsusintheolbean racing for Chris P.<br />

Hourigan and UKUSA Stables, Cali Baby<br />

earned $24,600 to push her bankroll to<br />

$370,374. Cali Baby has won eight of 16<br />

starts while being campaigned exclusively in<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong>, including two official blacktype<br />

stakes last season – the one-mile,<br />

$170,000 Peppers Pride <strong>New</strong> <strong>Mexico</strong> Cup<br />

Fillies & Mares Championship (R) at Zia<br />

Park, and the 6-furlong, $120,000 <strong>New</strong><br />

<strong>Mexico</strong> State Racing Commission Handicap<br />

(R) at Sunland Park.<br />

Tricky R. is a 4-year-old dark bay filly by<br />

the Phone Trick stallion Favorite Trick who<br />

has banked $79,830 from three wins in five<br />

outs for her owner, Ruth Summers. Tricky<br />

R. began her career last year with three<br />

consecutive victories, including a nose win<br />

as the 1-5 favorite in a 6-furlong, $37,000<br />

second-level allowance for state-bred<br />

distaffers at Sunland on December 17.<br />
