TOUCHUPONASTAR PREVAILS IN HARD FOUGHT DELTA MILE STAKES AT DELTA DOWNS

louisianathoroughbred

VINTON, LA. – Delta Downs hosted a pair of $100,000 stakes races on Friday night. The Delta Mile featured of field of nine 3-year-olds and up competing at eight furlongs and the Treasure Chest was a one-mile test for fillies and mares, also for 3-year-olds and up.

The Delta Mile showcased the talents of Set Hut LLC’s Touchuponastar, who was challenged early by Five Star General. The pair hooked up in a spirited speed dual while setting snappy fractional times of 22.88 seconds for the opening quarter mile, 46.33 for the half mile, and 1:11.17 for three quarters. As the field hit the top of the homestretch, Five Star General gave way as Touchuponastar began to open a lead inside the sixteenth pole, but it wasn’t over yet.

In the final strides Miles D, under leading jockey Vicente Del Cid, rallied stoutly and took aim at Touchuponastar and his pilot Tim Thornton. But it wasn’t to be as the rally came up ¾ of a length short under the wire. Five Star General held onto third, another ¾ of a length behind the runner-up. The final time for the Delta Mile was 1:38.19, which was accomplished over a fast racetrack.

The win by Touchuponastar, who is conditioned by Jeff Delhomme, was his second of the season as he also scored a win in the $100,000 Gold Cup on opening weekend. Overall, the bay runner has won nine of 12 career starts and has earned $528,100 after taking home the $60,000 first place prize on Friday night. Most of his bankroll has been earned while facing Louisiana-bred horses but the Delta Mile was an open-bred stakes event.

Bred in Louisiana by Coteau Grove Farms, Touchuponastar is a 4-year-old gelding by Star Guitar, out of the Lion Heart mare Touch Magic. He was purchased at sale for just $15,000 as a yearling in Texas.

Sent off as the heavy favorite by the betting public, Touchuponastar paid $2.60 to win, $2.10 to place and $2.10 to show. Miles D was worth $3.20 to place and $2.40 to show. Five Star General returned $3 to show.

 

Just like the Delta Mile, the Treasure Chest was won by an odds-on favorite. Jerry Caroom’s Adaline Julia won the race under jockey Harry Hernandez while make her route debut for trainer Robertino Diodoro.

The Treasure Chest field was narrowed to five horses after the scratching of Fannie and Freddie. At the break Yuki went to the front and challenged Adaline Julia for the pace setting duties as the pair traveled the opening quarter mile in 23.72 seconds. As they approached the half-mile mark of the race Yuki began to back up and would eventually finish a distant last.

Meanwhile, Adaline Julia recorded a half-mile split time of 48.09 before she was joined on the lead by Tiz a Macho Girl. That pair ran together through ¾ of a mile in 1:12.54 before hitting the top of the homestretch. In the lane Adaline Julia was put to the test but prevailed over Tiz a Macho Girl in a time of 1:39.36. Tiz a Macho Girl hit the finish line a neck behind the winner while Clay’s Moon Stone was another 3-1/2 lengths back in third.

The win was the fifth of Adaline Julia’s nine-race career and her second in stakes company. She earned $60,000 for the effort and now has a bankroll of $360,135.

Adaline Julia is a 4-year-old bay filly by Oxbow, out of the Orientate mare Daedal. She was bred in Kentucky by Ikhana Farm.

Louisiana Native Corey Lanerie Scores 5,000th Career Win Wednesday at Keeneland

louisianathoroughbred

 

New Orleans, La (Oct. 18, 2023) – Jockey Corey Lanerie became the 38th North American rider to win 5,000 races on Wednesday, piloting Denny East, Jerry White, Mark Young, and Michael Post’s I Feel the Need to victory for trainer Chris Hartman in Race 3 at Keeneland.

Hailing from Crankton, Louisiana, Lanerie returned to the jockey colony at Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots last season after two years away. While knocking on the door of his 5,000th career win, Lanerie made the most of his homecoming, offering difference-making rides week-in and week-out. His impressive resurgence garnered him 50 wins, a 21% strike rate, and he finished third in the overall standings.

Lanerie’s first career win came on April 19, 1991 at Evangeline Downs aboard High Hopes Banquet for trainer C. D. Delahoussaye.  He moved his tack to Fair Grounds that same year and his first local win came December 1, 1991 aboard Crazy in Love for trainer Guilliam Dronet, who also saddled Lanerie’s first stakes winner later that meet in the Black Gold Stakes. This year, Fair Grounds will be celebrating the 100-year-anniversary of Black Gold’s Louisiana and Kentucky derby victories. Lanerie won his 3,000th career winner at Fair Grounds in 2011.

The son of former jockey-turned-trainer Gerald Lanerie has won 1100 races at FG, which is the fourth-most of any jockey since 1990.

Having won many of the sport’s top races, Lanerie scored his first graded stakes victory in the Razorback Handicap at Oaklawn Park in 1999. He has seven grade one victories to his name, including three at Keeneland, taking the Ashland (G1) with Hooh Why in 2009, Weep No More in 2016, and  Sailor’s Valentine in 2017. In Kentucky Derby 143 he gave Lookin at Lee a brilliant ride up the rail to finish second, his best finish of his six career Derby mounts. The year prior in 2016 he piloted Cherry Wine to a second place finish in the Preakness (G1).

Over his 33-year career, Lanerie has won 19 riding titles at Churchill Downs, second only to Pat Day. He has also been named the leading rider at Ellis Park, Lone Star Park, Sam Houston Race Park and Retama Park. In 2014, Lanerie won the George Woolf Memorial Jockey Award, presented annually to a jockey riding in North America who demonstrates high standards of personal and professional conduct on and off the racetrack.

Lanerie has won over two dozen of the 65 stakes Fair Grounds currently offers. He’s bagged multiple wins in the Thanksgiving Classic, the Mineshaft (G3), Rachel Alexandra (G2), and he has eleven wins on Louisiana Champions Day, including the 2011 Classic where he piloted the celebrated Louisiana-bred, Star Guitar. In 2011 Lanerie won the Lecomte (G3) aboard Mo Tom for trainer Tom Amoss.

Upon winning his 5,000th race, Lanerie has amassed $159,799,578 in career earnings from 34,597 mounts. The 48-year-old will return to Fair Grounds’ jockey colony for the 2023-2024 racing season and again be represented by agent Anthony Martin.

AAEP Issues Safety Recommendations for U.S. Thoroughbred Racing

louisianathoroughbred

Proposals Emanate from Gathering of Nearly Two Dozen Veterinary Experts

The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) published a series of safety recommendations October 11, 2023, with the goal of complementing the current risk assessment processes already in place for Thoroughbred racing in the United States.

The nine recommendations stem from the inaugural Forum on Thoroughbred Safety & Injury Prevention, hosted by the AAEP on September 29–30 in Lexington, Ky. The meeting convened 23 invited private racetrack practitioners, regulatory veterinarians, surgeons and radiologists to explore additional measures to reduce racehorse injuries.

The Forum focused on two key areas: examination of injury data trends from U.S. and international racing jurisdictions, and exploration of new technologies and their potential use for identifying horses at risk for injury.

“The Forum was born out of our desire to help the racing industry at this critical moment for the sport and offer our veterinary expertise to further prevent racehorse injury,” said Dr. Sara Langsam, AAEP Racing Committee chair. “Our group believes additional progress comes through identifying the at-risk racehorse that appears outwardly sound but is silently brewing a significant injury. We are hopeful our recommendations will help the racing industry conquer this next frontier of Thoroughbred racehorse safety.”

Safety recommendations are focused in three areas: Identification of the horse at increased risk of injury, improved access to higher level diagnostic technology, and other means to reduce racehorse injuries. Among the recommendations are:

• Issuance of a request for proposal for the manufacture of a cost-effective wearable biometric sensor. Wearable biometric sensors detect gait changes in the racehorse and can serve as an indicator that the horse requires evaluation by its veterinary team. Optimally these sensors will be used on every racehorse for every high-speed exercise event, including breezing and racing.

• Employment of post-entry screening by regulatory veterinarians to help identify horses at increased risk based on training and racing records. California currently utilizes post-entry screening as an extra layer of scrutiny before race day and this additional step has proven helpful in identifying horses at risk for a catastrophic injury.

• Creation of regional PET scan centers at centrally located racetracks throughout the U.S. PET is an advanced imaging modality, and research studies have demonstrated the ability of the PET scan to identify abnormalities associated with an increased risk of injury.

The full list of individual safety recommendations and their rationale, along with a list of Forum on Thoroughbred Safety & Injury Prevention participants, can be found in the event’s report, accessible at https://aaep.org/newsroom/whitepapers/aaep-thoroughbred-injury-prevention-forum-report.

About AAEP
The American Association of Equine Practitioners, headquartered in Lexington, Ky., was founded in 1954 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the health and welfare of the horse. Currently, AAEP reaches more than 5 million horse owners through its over 9,000 members worldwide and is actively involved in ethics issues, practice management, research and continuing education in the equine veterinary profession and horse industry.

Former HBPA Prez On 5th Circuit Appeal: ‘No Matter The Result’ Both Sides Expect Supreme Court To Decide HISA’S Fate

By T. D. Thornton

Leroy Gessmann, who served as president of the National Horsemen’s Benevolent and Protective Association (HBPA) from 2015 to 2021 and currently works as the Arizona HBPA’s executive director, told commissioners at the Arizona Racing Commission (AZRC) meeting Thursday that regardless of the decision gets handed down by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, both the HBPA and its opponents in a 2 1/2-year-old lawsuit to nullify the Horseracing and Safety Integrity Act (HISA) agree that the nation’s highest court will eventually have to be called upon to settle the matter.

Gessmann spoke in the wake of Oct. 4 oral arguments in the Fifth Circuit case that pits the HBPA and 12 of its affiliates against the HISA Authority and the Federal Trade Commission. On May 4, a lower court deemed that the now-in-effect version of HISA is indeed constitutional because a 2022 rewrite of the law fixed constitutionality problems the Fifth Circuit had identified. Shortly after that lower court’s ruling came out in the spring, the HBPA plaintiffs then swiftly filed for another appeal back to the Fifth Circuit, which agreed to hear the case on an “expedited” basis.

STRONG PROMISE TAKES THE LOUISIANA LEGACY

STRONG PROMISE TAKES THE LOUISIANA LEGACY AFTER DISQUALIFICATION AT DELTA DOWNS

Strong Promise is victorious in the Louisiana Legacy Stakes. Coady Photography.

 

VINTON, LA. – Delta Downs kicked off an exciting weekend of racing on Friday night with a nine-race program that featured a pair of $100,000 Louisiana-bred stakes races. Fans were treated to the Louisiana Legacy and the Louisiana Jewel with the latter featuring 2-year-old fillies. Each race was contested over a fast track and at seven furlongs.

The Legacy featured plenty of drama as 10-1 longshot Good and Stout hit the finish line in front of heavily favored and undefeated Strong Promise before he was taken down by the stewards for interference. The disqualification came after Good and Stout made contact with Strong Promise with three eighths of a mile to the finish.

Following a clean break in the Legacy, Stovall and Good and Stout shared early pace-setting duties, traveling the first quarter mile in 23.31 seconds. Nearing the half mile mark, it was Good and Stout under C. J. McMahon who owned a narrow lead while stopping the timer in 48.35. Soon after that, the pacesetter came down toward the rail, bumping Strong Promise and jockey Casey Fuselier, who then traded bumps with Stovall. For that action the stewards disqualified Good and Stout and placed him last behind Stovall, who was taken back and finished last under the wire.

The official order of finish after the disqualification put Strong Promise first by ½ length over El Dinero second. Rising Koto Star wound up another five lengths behind in third. The final time of the Legacy was 1:27.33 seconds.

The win kept Strong Promise’s record perfect at four wins in as many starts for owner Whispering Oak Farm LLC and trainer Carrol Castille. The $60,000 first place paycheck raised his overall bankroll to $215,400 and he has now won three stakes races in all.

Bred in Louisiana by J. Adcock & Hume Wornall, Strong Promise is a 2-year-old gray or roan colt by Broken Vow, out of the Macho Uno mare St. Jean. He was purchased for $125,000 by his connections earlier this year.

Sent to the post at odds of 1-9, Strong Promise paid $2.20 to win, $2.10 to place and $2.10 to show. El Dinero returned $4.80 to place and $3.20 to show. Rising Koto Star paid $7 to show.

 

EMILY’S BULLET DOMINATES IN THE $100,000 LOUISIANA JEWEL STAKES

Emily’s Bullet is first to the wire in the Louisiana Jewel Stakes. Coady Photography.

 

The $100,000 Louisiana Jewel was won by Gerald Bruno, Jr., Chasey Deville Pomier and Out Blue Streaks Stable’s Emily’s Bullet, who got a perfect stalking trip before pulling clear in the stretch to win easily under jockey Vicente Del Cid.

The field for the Jewel was whittled down to just five 2-year-old fillies after Ronnie’s Deal was scratched. When the gate opened Del Cid placed his mount three paths off the rail and right behind Good N Sassy and race favorite Diamond Deal, who proceeded to volley for the lead why covered the opening quarter mile in 23.45 seconds and the half mile in 48.69. As the frontrunners turned for home the pace began to take its toll as Emily’s Bullet then made her move to the lead in the upper stretch.

At the finish line Emily’s Bullet was drawing clear and won by a comfortable 4-¾ lengths, while Diamond Deal held second over a late closing Tommie G, who wound up a length behind the runner-up. The final time for the race was 1:27.78 on the fast track.

The win by Emily’s Bullet, who is trained by Chasey Deville Pomier, was the second of her five-race career and her first in stakes company. She earned $60,000 for the effort and now has a career bankroll of $93,260.

Bred in the Bayou State by Paul Pruett, Emily’s Bullet is a bay filly by Gormley, out of the Wando mare Bessie’s Bullet.

Sent off at odds of 5-2 odds, Emily’s Bullet paid $7.40 to win, $3.40 to place and $2.40 to show. Diamond Deal was worth $2.40 to place and $2.10 to show. Tommie G returned $3.40 to show.
