Golden State Series Reaping Quick Gains

ARCADIA, Calif. (Nov. 29, 2011) -- Building on the success of the California-bred Maiden Bonus Program, the recently announced Golden State Series is already being credited with fueling higher yearling sales prices and attracting promising stallions to the state.

"With the California incentive program changes, it's time to start getting some Cal-breds and supporting Cal-breds," said Joe Masino, manager of Class Racing Stable, after he purchased a Cal-bred son of Unusual Heat for $100,000 at the Barretts October Yearling Sale.

Drugs In U.S. Racing 2010 - The Facts

With more rigorous standards than the Olympics, professional horse racing has the most aggressive drug testing program in professional sports, testing for more substances with greater sensitivity than anyone else.

On May 5, 2011, the front page of USA Today was headlined "Chemical Warfare in Horse Racing Targeted". The article was prompted by the comments of a prominent public official who declared that "Chemical warfare is rampant on American racetracks". Such salacious comments create an undeserved negative perception of a sport that is responsible for the employment of over 380,000 people across the country.


Pricing the Future
(February, 2011)
ALAN BALCH PHOTO

Just why is it that our sport, which is dependent upon the objectivity and precision of the photo-finish camera, seems not only to tolerate but to stimulate the most exaggerated, unclear, and irresponsible talking and thinking imaginable?

There are a few choice, provocative, and impolite words I could use to describe that fuzzy talking and thinking, but I'll refrain. One has a certain bovine tinge. I have always preferred equines, myself.

Before I get any deeper into this metaphor, I'll just introduce a fundamental topic that's been on our minds in California lately: prices and pricing.

Hard work never scared Mike Puype.

When he was 11, he had his own newspaper delivery route in Phoenix.

While Puype earned a degree in business at Arizona State, he worked three jobs simultaneously, including training a couple of horses at Turf Paradise.

Puype, 44, has never slowed down, helping to explain his rise to the top echelon on the Southern California circuit.


AHC WASHINGTON UPDATE
(June 8, 2011)
Industry Responsibility & Responsible Ownership Practices
American Horse Council

The AHC wants to remind horse owners and service providers of what might be termed "indirect exposure" and transmission risks associated with contagious and infectious equine diseases, such as Equine Herpes Virus (EHV-1) in the recent outbreak. There are potential risks that might not be obvious, but are as dangerous as direct exposure.
