NEWS, NAMES AND NOTES
VELASQUEZ TO CALL IT QUITS WHEN YEAR ENDS
Jorge Velasquez, who has won nearly 6,800 races in the course of a
34-year riding career, will announce his retirement, effective Dec. 31,
on Wednesday during a press conference at Aqueduct Racetrack in South
Ozone Park, N.Y.
The New York Racing Association will host "Jorge Velasquez Day"
Saturday, Nov. 22 at the track, the last time he will ride at a NYRA
track. Besides riding in a couple of races that day, Velasquez will
autograph pictures for fans. The New York Racing Association will also
present him with a gift, and a video tribute to Velasquez will be shown
on closed-circuit monitors throughout the day.
"I'm 50 years old, I'm not getting the rides [mounts] I used to and I
don't want to fight my weight anymore," Velasquez explained. "I had a
long, beautiful career and there's nothing left to accomplish. I've been
doing this for 34 years, practically all my life, and, to be honest, I'm
looking forward to retiring."
Velasquez, a native of Chepo, Panama, came to the United States in 1965
after shattering all of jockey Braulio Baeza's records in Panama, where
he was the leading apprentice rider. In the United States, he finished
in the top 10 nationally in money-won for 20 consecutive years
(1966-85). On two occasions-once in 1965 and again in 1981-he rode six
winners on a single card. He led the nation in victories with 438 in
1967 and won the New York riding title five times between 1971 and 1978.
He attained national prominence in 1977 and 1978 as the regular rider on
Alydar during the colt's epic battles with Affirmed and Steve Cauthen.
Three years later, Velasquez tasted victory in the Triple Crown series
when he guided the John Campo-trained Pleasant Colony to triumphs in the
Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes before falling short in the Belmont
Stakes.
Velasquez won the richest race of his life-and the world's richest
race-in November, 1985, when he captured the $3 million Breeders' Cup
Classic aboard Proud Truth at Aqueduct. That was one of a record 57
stakes races he won that year, eclipsing a record of 54, previously held
by Chris McCarron.
Two years later, he accepted an offer to ride for Mahmoud Fustok's
Buckram Oak Stable in France and he spent nine months there before
returning to the U.S. He took his tack to the newly rebuilt Arlington
International Racecourse in Arlington Heights, Ill., when it reopened in
1989 and was the leading rider there. He was inducted into the National
Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., in 1990. In
recent years, he has ridden primarily in Illinois and Florida but he was
sidelined for several months when he fractured his pelvis while
exercising a horse in Florida in January, 1994.
Velasquez, who resides in Woodmere, N.Y., with his wife Marguerite, son
Jorge Jr., and daughters Michele and Monique, said that while he may
eventually pursue a career as a racing official, he plans to just "relax
for a while" after he stops riding.
NTRA IN FINAL PHASE OF PLANNING PROCESS
The National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) planning process has
entered its final phase with approval by the Oversight Committee of a
draft business plan to be circulated privately for comment by key
owners, race track executives and their representative organizations
throughout the country.
The plan, designed to establish a national office for the promotion and
coordination of Thoroughbred racing in North America, has been developed
from the preliminary NTRA business plan first unveiled at the [Jockey
Club] Round Table Conference in August. Major elements of the new draft
include a simplified funding formula, identification of branding and
cooperative advertising strategies, specific recommendations for
television and sponsorship, and added detail in the areas of group
purchasing, licensing and merchandising, customer retention and
legislative initiatives.
D. G. Van Clief Jr., interim NTRA president and CEO, expressed the hope
that the plan as refined would find acceptance by all sectors of the
multi-faceted Thoroughbred industry.
"We believe the current draft is a workable and equitable plan which
anyone who has the best interests of racing at heart won't find
difficult to endorse," he said. "We have adopted a strategy of
emphasizing benefits, not mandatory requirements, so that the NTRA can
get started and prove its value on the merits."
The new funding formula calls for contributions to be based on total
handle generated by each member track on its own live racing, whether
that handle comes from on-site, inter- or intra-state wagering.
Previously, funding was to be sought exclusively from simulcasting
sources. As with prior plans, horsemen (through purses) and tracks would
contribute equally.
"This is, above all, a fair formula," said interim COO for the NTRA,
Nick Nicholson. "It respects the operational differences between big
tracks and smaller ones . . . between those who do a lot of business as
hosts tracks to those who depend a great deal on their role as receiving
sites.
"Everyone starts at the same level," Nicholson explained. "And we've
developed a two-tier system which kicks in after the first $400 million
in handle, to adjust for any inequities of scale where the bigger tracks
are concerned."
The primary NTRA goal is to launch a national marketing and advertising
campaign to put racing in competition with other major North American
professional sports. The cooperative advertising strategy outlined in
the draft business plan provides for a minimum of 50 percent of track
dues to be reinvested in local marketing advertising.
"Members are going to see immediate and substantial returns on their
investment at a local level," said Tim Smith, executive director of the
National Thoroughbred Association (NTA) and a member of the NTRA
Facilitating Committee charged with development of the business plan.
"The strengthened co-op advertising program is just one example. Other
parts of the plan-like sponsorship and licensing-will directly benefit
members in year one."
"Nearly 40 representatives of tracks and other industry organizations,
supplemented by outside consultants where necessary, contributed their
ideas and expertise through the recent Task Force process," added Chris
Scherf, executive director of the Thoroughbred Racing Associations.
"They have produced specific, workable programs in areas such as
licensing and merchandising, customer retention and group purchasing."
The NTRA goal is that the period for industry comment on the business
draft plan will be concluded in time for a full-scale roll-out of the
final plan at the RTIP Symposium on Racing in Tucson, Ariz., Dec. 10-12.
FRIENDS, COLLEAGUES PAY TRIBUTE TO ARCARO
The world of Thoroughbred racing is mourning the death of jockey Eddie
Arcaro, who died of liver cancer Nov. 14 in his Miami home. He was 81
years old. A funeral mass will be held Wednesday at St. Martha's Church,
9301 Biscayne Blvd. in Miami. In lieu of flowers, Arcaro's family asked
that donations be made to the Jockeys' Guild Disabled Jockeys Fund, 250
W. Main St. (#1820), Lexington, Ky., 40507. Arcaro is survived by his
wife Vera, son Bob and daughter Carolyn Zaslow.
Here's how some of his colleagues and sportswriters remembered him:
* Hall of Fame rider Braulio Baeza: "He was my idol when I was growing
up in Panama. They used to show the races on Movietone News when you
went to the movies and they would show it all day long. I admired Arcaro
so much that one time I sat through the same movie three times just so I
could watch the Movietone and see his races over and over."
* Former jockey Bill Boland: "Eddie was the greatest rider I ever saw
and when I started riding, I tried to pattern my style after his. He was
a great guy and certainly a great ambassador for our sport. Everybody
knew him; he couldn't go anywhere in New York without someone stopping
him to ask for an autograph."
* Hall of Fame jockey Angel Cordero Jr.: "When I was growing up in
Puerto Rico, my father would give me movies and pictures and tell me
that if I wanted to be a jockey, I had to learn to ride like Eddie
Arcaro. When I was 15, I met him in Puerto Rico and told him in broken
English that I wanted to be like him. He gave me a pair of his [riding]
goggles, and man, I wore them wherever I went for two years. I'm very
sorry that he's gone. He was the best ever."
* John Giovanni, former jockey and managing director of The Jockeys'
Guild: "Eddie founded the Guild in 1941 along with John Longden and Sam
Renick and one of the first things they wanted to do was provide life
insurance for the members. Not many people know it, but Eddie wrote the
first check to pay for the first premium. He was not only a wonderful
rider, but he cared a lot about his fellow riders and they all owe him a
great debt. At the national all-star jockey event at Lone Star Park in
June, it was absolutely wonderful to see all the Hall of Fame riders
flocking around him to get his autograph. He signed autographs for them
and for the public all day long. And it's been said before, but he was
like the Babe Ruth of horse racing."
* Steve Jacobson, Newsday: "When Arcaro was at the top, the wiseguys
around the track in New York said if Arcaro hung around for the eighth
race of the day, there was good reason to bet him. They said if there
was a chance to win, Arcaro would win by a neck, a head or a nose. They
said, 'He don't get beat no nose.' They bet him and if he didn't win,
they'd boo. It was the sound of greatness."
* Chick Lang: "Eddie was the yardstick by which every other rider was
measured. You often heard people, talking about another rider, say, 'He
looks like Eddie.' They didn't have to mention his last name; you knew
who they were talking about. He had an exceptional personality and he
had all the ingredients that make for a great rider. If you had to
describe his style in one word, it would be 'tenacious.' I've known him
since the late '30s or early '40s and no one like him will ever pass our
way again. I feel fortunate and lucky that we spent those days together
at the all-star jockey event at Lone Star."
* Eddie Pope, Miami Herald: "He was to race-riding what the Beatles were
to rock 'n roll. He dwelt in the sports stratosphere of Babe Ruth and
Joe Louis. He also kept their common touch."
* Sam Renick, former jockey: "He wasn't just a man on a horse. He was
part of a horse. I never saw anyone like him."
* Vic Zeigel, New York Daily News: "New York was the capital of racing
in Arcaro's 20 years here and Arcaro was its biggest name. He knew how
to win and how to think."
EQUINE PRACTITIONERS TO DISCUSS HEALTH AND SAFETY OF RACEHORSES
The 43rd annual convention of the American Association of Equine
Practitioners will be held Dec. 7-10 at the Phoenix, Ariz., Convention
Center. A session on regulatory issues in racing will include, among
others, presentations by Drs. George Mundy ("A Review of Risk Factors
Associated with Racing Injuries"); Scott Stanley ("A Review of Equine
Drug Testing"); Tom Tobin ("A Review of a Consequence of Highly
Sensitive Drug Testing: The Need for Data on Analytical/Pharmacological
Relationships for Therapeutic Medications") and Julia Wilson
("Thoroughbred Racing Injury Rates are Inversely Associated with Trainer
Success").
A discussion of equine tendinitis will be led by Dr. Virginia Reef of
the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, who will speak on
the efficacy of Beta-aminoproprionitrile Fumarate (BAPN-F) in treating
horses with tendinitis of the superficial digital flexor tendon. BAPN-F,
which promotes healing, is awaiting FDA approval after several
successful trials. Other panelists include Drs. Michael Ross, who will
speak on surgical management of tendinitis, and Sue Dyson, who will
discuss the use of other types of drug therapies in treating tendinitis.
In the session on racing, topics will include Lasix and its effect on
exercise-induced pulmonary hemorrhage (EIPH); and the relationship
between intensive exercise and the risk of musculoskeletal injuries to
equine athletes.
Other sessions include equine lameness and orthopedics; soft tissue
surgery; pediatrics; pharmacology; reproduction; therapeutic options;
general medicine; foot care and laminitis; and pharmacokinetics. For
additional information contact the AAEP at (606) 233-0147.
BREEDERS' CUP WEBSITE A "HIT" WITH ONLINE USERS
The Breeders' Cup website (https://www.breederscup.com) surpassed all
previous user records with more than 1.25 million "hits" from web
surfers around the world between Oct. 25 and Nov. 9, an increase of 69
percent over last year's figures. Developed in conjunction with Equibase
Company, the Breeders' Cup website featured complete biographies of all
owners, trainers and jockeys representing the 94 horses pre-entered for
the Nov. 8 Breeders' Cup Championship Day. In addition, the site offered
daily updates on each horse; past performances for all pre-entered
horses were provided by Equibase Company.
"We are very pleased with the rapid growth and popularity of our
website," said D.G. Van Clief Jr., president of Breeders' Cup Ltd. "Each
year we try to find new and more efficient ways to expand the Breeders'
Cup message. Through our aggressive use of the Internet, we are capable
of reaching more people with the most timely information and further
enhance racing's greatest day."
NOTES: Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie, Texas, will host a charity day
for the Racetrack Chaplaincy of Texas on Thursday, Nov. 20. The
Racetrack Chaplaincy of Texas will receive two percent of all money
wagered at the track on simulcast and live racing that day. It is the
third charity day hosted by Lone Star this year. As a Class I racetrack
in Texas, Lone Star is required to host at least two charity days per
year. On Oct. 30 the track hosted a day for the Grand Prairie
Independent School District and on Nov. 13 for the Texas A&M; University
Development Foundation/Equine Research Fund. . .Affirmed and Ready, a
two-year-old colt owned in part by country music star George Strait, won
the Hoosier Juvenile Stakes at Hoosier Park, Anderson, Ind., Nov. 15. It
was the second win in four starts for the colt whose ownership is listed
as Oceanfront Property. Oceanfront is comprised of Strait, his wife
Norma and manager Erv Woolsey. The partnership named is derived from one
of Strait's hit songs. Strait was not in attendance at Hoosier for the
race. . .The 4 1/2-hour telecast of the Breeders' Cup on NBC, which
aired from 1:30-6:00 p.m. (Eastern) on Saturday, Nov. 8, received a 2.2
rating and a six share. . .The offices of the Kentucky Thoroughbred
Association and the Kentucky Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders have moved
to the Kentucky Horse Park, effective Oct. 27. The new address for the
KTA/KTOB is: 4089 Iron Works Pike, Bldg. 301, Lexington, Ky., 40511. The
KTA's phone and fax numbers are (606) 381-1414 and (606) 233-9737,
respectively; the KTOB phone number is (606) 259-1643. The fax number is
the same as that for KTA. . . Bobby Lillis, a retired jockey and
tireless promoter of Thoroughbred racing, will be honored for his
"outstanding service to Maryland horsemen" when the Maryland
Thoroughbred Horsemen's Association hosts its 11th Annual MTHA Christmas
Party Monday, Dec. 1 in the clubhouse at Laurel Park. Lillis, a parking
lot attendant at the Maryland tracks, often leaves racing periodicals in
doctors' and dentists' offices with the hope of creating new fans for
Thoroughbred racing (Media Update, v. 10, no. 23). . . The Middleburg
Broadcasting Network, co-founded by Carol Holden and Sam Huff in 1995,
recently won the grand prize (a pair of Hotlines Remote Equipment) in a
contest sponsored by the Comrex Corporation. MBN produced "the toughest,
most interesting radio remote": the 40th running of the Fairfax
Steeplechase Races at Belmont Plantation in Leesburg, Va. MBN carries
steeplechase racing, point-to-point races and produces and distributes
the weekly Thoroughbred racing radio show Trackside.

YEARLING PRICES CORRELATED TO CONSIGNORS' INVOLVEMENT IN RACING
Who gets more for a Thoroughbred at auction: a breeder who doesn't race
horses, or a breeder who does? In their article, "Roses or Lemons:
Adverse Selection in the Market for Thoroughbred Yearlings," published
in the August 1997 issue of Review of Economics and Statistics, authors
Brian Chezum and Brad Wimmer attempt to answer this question using data
collected from the 1994 Keeneland sales.
"We expect racers to keep yearlings that appear to have the highest
probability of on-track success and to cull the remainder," wrote Chezum
and Wimmer. "Breeders, having no interest in running horses themselves,
will sell all of their yearlings. If buyers are able to identify a
seller's type, they will expect lower quality yearlings from racers. It
follows," they concluded, "that racers should receive a lower price for
an otherwise similar yearling." Further, the authors suggested, the more
intensively the "racers" engage in racing, the more adversely it affects
buyers' perceptions of their yearlings offered at auction.
Having examined a number of variables, including stud fees and the
auctioned horses' age, pedigree, state-bred and sex, the authors
observed that "an increase in a seller's intensity of racing is
associated with a decrease in a yearling's hammer price . . . [and] the
more intensively a seller operates in racing, the more heavily they are
penalized by the market."
