Jockey Mike Smith ties Jerry Bailey for All-Time Lead in Breeders’ Cup Wins after Classic Victory with Drosselmeyer

Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith’s victory aboard Drosselmeyer in Saturday’s  Breeders’ Cup Classic, after guiding Amazombie to score in the Sprint earlier in the afternoon, brought his total number of wins in the Breeders’ Cup to 15 and bringing him into a tie atop that leaderboard with retired Hall of Famer Jerry Bailey.

John Velazquez rode two Breeders’ Cup winners Friday to bring his total to 11, ranking fifth behind Bailey, Smith and Pat Day and Garrett Gomez tied for third with 12 each.

Two trainers sent out two Breeders’ Cup winners. Hall of Fame horseman Bill Mott won the climactic events both days with Royal Delta capturing the Ladies’ Classic on Friday and Drosselmeyer the Classic on Saturday. Mott drew into a tie for third in all-time wins with Bob Baffert with eight each, trailing D. Wayne Lukas’ remarkable total of 18 and Shug McGaughey second with nine. Baffert won the inaugural Juvenile Sprint Friday with Secret Circle.

Irish trainer Aidan O’Brien also saddled two winners Saturday with Wrote taking the Juvenile Turf and St Nicholas Abbey the Turf, drawing into a five-way tie for most wins at six with Neil Drysdale, Richard Mandella, Bobby Frankel and Todd Pletcher.

Goldikova Gallant in TVG Breeders’ Cup Mile Defeat

Led by Wertheimer et Frere’s three-time Breeders’ Cup Mile winner Goldikova, the 2011 Breeders’ Cup featured eight defending or former Breeders’ Cup champions. The 6yo homebred mare posted the best result of the group when finishing third as the 1.30-1 favorite in her attempt to win a fourth straight Mile.

Repole Stables’ 3yo colt Uncle Mo, who won the 2010 Grey Goose Breeders’ Cup Juvenile at Churchill Downs for trainer Todd Pletcher, finished 10^th in this year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic, thwarting his attempt to become the first Juvenile winner to return to win the Classic.

Sagamore Farm’s Shared Account, a 46-1 upset winner of the 2010 Emirates Airline Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf, was denied a repeat bid in the 2011 edition of the race when finishing seventh, beaten 2 ½ lengths at 18.50-1 for trainer Graham Motion.

Juddmonte Farm’s Midday, winner of the 2009 Filly & Mare Turf and runner-up to Shared Account in the 2010 running of that race, opted for a start in the Emirates Airline Breeders’ Cup Turf this year in which the 5yo  mare finished sixth at 5.60-1.

Harold Queen’s Eclipse Award-winning sprinter Big Drama, who won the 2010 Sentient Jet Breeders’ Cup Sprint for trainer David Fawkes, finished seventh as the 3.40-1 second choice in the 2011 Sprint in just his third start of the year.

Carl Moore Management’s Chamberlain Bridge, winner of the 2010 Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint at Churchill Downs, and Hi Card Ranch’s California Flag, who won the Turf Sprint down the hillside turf course at Santa Anita in 2009, both returned for the 2011 Turf Sprint. Chamberlain Bridge finished eighth at 10.70-1 after breaking from post 14, while California Flag finished 12^th at 12.30-1.

E-Racing.Com and Kevin Jacobsen’s Eldaafer, whose 10.60-1 upset win in the 2010 Marathon allowed trainer Diane Alvarado to become the fourth female trainer to win a Breeders’ Cup race, finished sixth in the 2011 running at 12.80-1.   

More Breeders’ Cup World Championships Odds and Ends

With victories by Drosselmeyer in the Breeders’ Cup Classic and Royal Delta in the Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ Classic, trainer Bill Mott joined John Shirreffs as the only trainer to win both races in the same Championship weekend. Shirreffs accomplished the feat at Santa Anita in 2009 when Zenyatta won the Classic one day after Life Is Sweet prevailed in the Ladies’ Classic.

The all-Mott Classic/Ladies’ Classic Daily Double returned $84.00 while the all-Shirreffs Double in 2009 paid $92.60.

Jockey Joseph O’Brien, at 18 years 5 months, 13 days, became the youngest jockey to win a Breeders’ Cup race when prevailing with St Nicholas Abbey for his father, trainer Aidan O’Brien, in the Turf, surpassing Fernando Jara, who won the 2006 Breeders’ Cup Classic with Invasor at 18 years, 10 months, 18 days.

The victory by Spendthrift Farm LLC’s Court Vision at longshot odds of 64.80-1 in the Breeders’ Cup Mile provided the second largest win mutuel in the history of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships:

Arcangues $269.20 (1993 Classic)

Court Vision $131.60 (2011 Mile)

Spain $113.80 (2000 Distaff)

Lashkari $108.80 (1984 Turf)

One Dreamer $96.20 (1994 Distaff)

Four post-time favorites won Breeders’ Cup races this year. The winning favorites were Secret Circle (.40-1 in Juvenile Sprint), My Miss Aurelia (2.10-1 in Juvenile Fillies), Royal Delta (2.20-1 in Ladies’ Classic), and Regally Ready (2.30-1 in Turf Sprint). Of the four winning post-time favorites, just one prevailed on Championship Saturday

Juvenile Turf winner Wrote became the first Breeders’ Cup winner sired by 2002 and 2003 Breeders’ Cup Turf winner High Chaparral.

Two-Day Breeders’ Cup Attendance and Handle Second Largest in Event History

                                                                                   Contact: Jim Gluckson 646-335-6835

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Nov. 5, 2011) – A two-day attendance total for the 2011 Breeders’ Cup World Championships of 105,820 is the second highest two-day total, seven percent less than last year’s record-setting total attendance of 114,353 that was fueled in part by the legendary race mare Zenyatta’s bid to remain undefeated, Breeders' Cup officials announced after the conclusion of Saturday’s races. 

After a two percent decrease in attendance on Friday, 65,143 were on hand Saturday for the 12-race card that included nine Breeders’ Cup World Championship races. Last year’s Saturday attendance was 72,739.

The two-day common pool total was $155,525,947, a decrease of 4.9% from the record-setting $163,619,784 wagered in 2010. The common pool handle for Saturday’s 12-race card was $105,472,442, a decrease of 4.5% from the 2010 Saturday common-pool handle of $110,609,159 for 11 races. The $50,053,505 wagered on Friday's card was a decrease of 5.6% from the $53,010,625 bet on Friday's card in 2010.

For the Breeders’ Cup races only, the two-day common pool total was $140,070,365 down 5.1% from the $147,524,454 bet last year.

On-track handle at Churchill Downs for the two days was $21,475,916, down 4.9% from the 2010 figure of $22,586,311.  On Saturday, the on-track handle was $13,710,734 off 4.8 percent from $14,405,874 wagered on-site in 2010.

 “Congratulations to all the winners over the two days of our Championships,” said Breeders’ Cup President and CEO Craig Fravel.  “The Breeders’ Cup extends its sincere thanks to all of the participants in our event, to the enthusiastic crowd, to our sponsors, and to our partners at Churchill Downs.  We look forward to the 2012 event at Santa Anita Park.”

Complete all-sources Breeders’ Cup handle numbers, including separate pool and exchange wagering, will be available early next week.

Light dependency underlies beneficial jetlag in racehorses

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

17 October 2011

A new study shows that racehorses are extremely sensitive to changes in daily light and, contrary to humans, can adapt very quickly to sudden shifts in the 24-hour light­¾dark cycle, such as those resulting from a transmeridian flight, with unexpected benefits on their physical performance.

            The research led by academics in the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Medical and Veterinary Sciences is published in the Journal of Neuroendocrinology.

This is the first study of its kind to investigate the effects of jetlag on the physiology and performance of racehorses under tightly controlled experimental conditions.  Horses are the only athletes, apart from humans, regularly flown across time zones for athletic competitions.

Dr Domingo Tortonese, Senior Lecturer in Anatomy in the University’s School of Veterinary Sciences, who led the study, said: “We tested the hypothesis that abrupt alterations in the 24-hour light¾dark cycle, such as those associated with the crossing of time-zones, would alter the molecular clockwork and neuroendocrine systems of racehorses with detrimental consequences on their athletic performance.

“In humans, air travel-associated sudden changes in the 24-hour light¾dark cycle disrupt biological rhythms with negative effects on cognitive and physical performance.  Indeed, jetlag has important implications for athletes who travel across time zones for competitive sporting events, particularly after an easterly flight.

“Our study shows that racehorses are different from humans in that they rely on light cues for their daily rhythms of activity, rather than for the synchronisation of an endogenously generated rhythm to the 24-hour light¾dark cycle.  This light dependency underlies a rapid process of adaptation with critical scientific implications and unexpected practical benefits.”

Thoroughbred horses with previous race training were housed in light-controlled rooms and put through a fitness program of daily sessions of exercise on a high–speed treadmill at variable times of the day for three months.  They then experienced a shift in the 24-hour light¾dark cycle that mimicked an easterly flight across seven time zones.

The 24-hour patterns of four clock genes, together with neuroendocrine systems involved in a variety of functions, including time measurement, homeostasis and the response to stress, were investigated before and after the shift.  The aerobic and anaerobic capacities were measured by standardised performance tests. Locomotor activity was also assessed continuously, under photoperiodic conditions and in the absence of light cues (constant darkness), to determine the expression and robustness of a 24-hour rest¾activity cycle. The speed of re-adaptation to a new light¾dark cycle was also investigated. 

Contrary to the prediction based on human and rodent data, the results show that whereas horses are extremely sensitive to sudden changes in the 24-hour light¾dark cycle, they can adapt very quickly to a phase shift. Importantly, this rapid adaptation is not accompanied by an increase in the level of stress, but by alterations in endocrine systems that favour an enhancement of the horse’s physical capacity during the process.

The improvement in athletic performance following experimental jetlag resulted in the animals being able to run at full gallop for an additional 25 seconds before reaching fatigue.  This differs from humans who show a slow adjustment, particularly after an eastbound flight, with detrimental consequences on performance.  The difference between the two species can be attributed to the powerful masking effect of light on the horse’s daily locomotor activity, which, together with the absence of a robust sleep¾wake cycle, can be a part of a mechanism of adaptation to sudden changes in the environment.

The results of this study have important practical implications, since equine athletes do not need to travel to be subjected to changes in daily light, and its beneficial consequences could help to reduce the level of injury in competitions.

This research by the University of Bristol in collaboration with academics from the University of Melbourne and the University of Cambridge was supported by a research grant from the Horserace Betting Levy Board and by a Wellcome Trust Equipment Grant.

Jet lag benefits racehorses

http://www.equinescienceupdate.com/articles/jlbr.html



A new study has shown that not only do racehorses cope better with jetlag than humans do, but also their performance even appears to be enhanced by it.


The research, led by academics in the University of Bristol’s Faculty of Medical and Veterinary Sciences in collaboration with colleagues from the University of Melbourne and the University of Cambridge, is published in the Journal of Neuroendocrinology.

Do horses suffer from jetlag?
Jet lag benefits racehorses
Jet lag is a phenomenon encountered by long-distance travellers.  However, it is not just the length of the journey that is important. The significant factor is the rapid crossing

of multiple time zones.  So flying from California to the UK would have (in principle) more negative effects than flying from New York. This is certainly the case for humans. Jet lag is due to the conflict between the new cycle of light and dark and the body’s natural circadian (literally “about a day“) rhythm.


Symptoms of jetlag in humans include disturbed sleep patterns, loss of appetite, lack of concentration and lethargy. Human athletes have noticed that jetlag can impair performance. So they take time to adapt to conditions in the country where the competition is to be held.


But what about horses? This new study is the first of its kind to investigate the effects of jetlag on the physiology and performance of racehorses under tightly controlled experimental conditions.  Horses are the only athletes, apart from humans, regularly flown across time zones for athletic competitions.


Dr Domingo Tortonese, Senior Lecturer in Anatomy in the School of Veterinary Sciences, who led the study, said: “We tested the hypothesis that abrupt alterations in the 24-hour light-dark cycle, such as those associated with the crossing of time-zones, would alter the molecular clockwork and neuroendocrine systems of racehorses with detrimental consequences on their athletic performance.


“In humans, air travel-associated sudden changes in the 24-hour light-dark cycle disrupt biological rhythms with negative effects on cognitive and physical performance.  Indeed, jetlag has important implications for athletes who travel across time zones for competitive sporting events, particularly after an easterly flight.


“Our study shows that racehorses are different from humans in that they rely on light cues for their daily rhythms of activity, rather than for the synchronisation of an endogenously generated rhythm to the 24-hour light-dark cycle. This light dependency underlies a rapid process of adaptation with critical scientific implications and unexpected practical benefits.”


The research team took seven Thoroughbred horses with previous race training and put them through a fitness program of daily sessions of exercise on a high–speed treadmill at variable times of the day for three months. Throughout the study, the horses were kept in a light-controlled environment. The researchers then altered the lighting to mimic a sudden change in time zones - the equivalent of an easterly flight across seven time zones.


They found that the horses adapted very quickly to a shift in time zone. Importantly, this rapid adaptation was not accompanied by an increase in the level of stress, but by alterations in endocrine systems that favoured an enhancement of the horse’s physical capacity during the process.


In fact, following experimental jetlag, horses experienced improved athletic performance, being able to run at full gallop for an additional 25 seconds before reaching fatigue. The treadmill velocity at which blood lactate reached 4mmol/l was also significantly increased after the change in photoperiod.


This improved performance did not persist, however, and had returned to pre-shift values after 14 days in the new lighting conditions.


The researchers suggest that these findings have important practical implications, since equine athletes do not need to travel to be subjected to changes in daily light. Its beneficial consequences could help to reduce the level of injury in competitions.


The research was supported by a research grant from the Horserace Betting Levy Board and by a Wellcome Trust Equipment Grant.

New Beginnings
By Simon Gunson
Where do i begin? Dale and Bert are two of the nicest and most knowledgeable people that you could ever wish to meet.
My mum started off my riding and has stuck by me ever since. I got my first pony when i was 8 years old and I'm 19 now. Mum, so far, has always found me nice ponies and horses, a good set of riding instructors and has always been there to help. The support from her has helped me get to be a fairly high standard of rider with flatwork and showjumping.
Having a very good dentist, Paul Waudby, and a good idea of how a horse should go on the flat, i was able to feel the phenomenal difference between what Paul had done in comparison to the dentist we had previous to him.
I was fascinated by what Paul was doing and wanted to learn more. He kindly let me travel with him on his rounds, whilst he was in the area and it fuelled my thirst to find out more. Paul suggested coming out to the school that Dale and Bert set up and so i gave Dale a call. Dale asked about why i wanted to go into dentistry, what experience i had with handling horses, how long i had been around them and signed me up for the course.
Just over a month later, i was jetting off to America, not really knowing what to expect! When i arrived in Boise, Dale picked me up and dropped me off at one of the exquisite houses that are used to house the students. The next day, Dale and Bert showed the class round the museum and factory at World Wide Equine Inc. the first week was devoted to learning the theory of equine dentistry. Looking at the history of dentistry, the anatomy of a horse's  head, aging a horse, the principles of balance and equilibration, performance and instrumentation. The class text was "Oral Health in Equidae" By Dale Jeffrey. It's an amazing book that covers more or less everything and anything that maybe wasn't in there or we didn't understand fully, Dale and Bert were there to explain to us in a way that we could understand. Each night i would read over what the class had been learning and if i was stuck on something, i would bring it up in class the next day.
Week 2 was purely practical and hands on. Horses were arranged for each day and with only 3 of us, there were more than enough for us to be getting on with. With the small amount of the people that were on the course, it meant that we got 1 on 1 tutoring. The further through the week and the easier we were finding it, the more they left us to do as much as we could before they came gave us advice or help. Before i left to go home, Bert very kindly said that i could travel round with him after the next course in October. When i got back in England, the first thing i did was book flights for October. i kept myself ticking over, making sure everything stayed fresh in my mind and started building a client base.
I couldn't wait to come back out again, the few days before i was due to fly out, i could barely sleep! The course took the same path as it did last time and i built on the knowledge that i got from the last course. Through both weeks i learned more on top of what i learned the first time round. Everything seemed a lot easier.
I am currently going round with Bert and learning from one of the best!
Dental Issues
By Carla Adams
My name is Carla Adams.  I'll start with a little of my background.
I practically grew up on the back of a horse.  I won my first blue ribbon in the show ring at the age of 3, trained my first horse from start to finish with just a little help from my dad at the age of nine.  I've ridden everything from English pleasure horses to racing Quarter Horses, so you would think I would know something about horses' teeth.
This class has taught me that other than wolf teeth need to come out and if a horse is losing feed he may need his teeth worked on, I knew very little about them and the problems they could cause.  I walk away from class today with a new respect and knowledge of equine gnathological processes.
Floating a horses teeth will never again be defined as making teeth level, but to make the horses teeth come together in matching parallel biomechanical planes of occlusion.  This allows proper mastication and utilization of food for weight gain and energy.
I now know what a bit seat is which I had never heard of before and how something as simple as giving the bit a proper place to rest can be greatly beneficial to horses and riders.  Rolling in a bit seat is not as simple as it looks.
Issues you may encounter while training may not be an issue with your methods or the horses unwillingness to work but a problem with teeth, bone structure or the temporomandibular joint.
Lastly, upon graduation from this class I leave with a far greater knowledge of gnathology than I arrived with, and yet it is only the tip of the ice berg.
What I Have Learned
By Karl Willson Brough
Hi, my name is Karl Brough, I was born in Pocatello, Idaho.  I am 25 years old, learning how to become an Equine Gnathological Practitioner.  The practice of gnathology helps provide prophylaxis and equilibration to horses' teeth achieving matching parallel biomechanical planes of occlusion for cheek teeth and incisors.  Efficient mastication and occlusion patterns enhance the processes of deglutition and nutrition.  I believe in relieving horses' pain by correcting dental complications.  After prophylaxis you should see optimistic changes in temperament, performance, diet, and overall health, all things that give you a rewarding feeling knowing you have helped these beautiful animals.
If you do not have the right knowledge and technique working on horses teeth can be very challenging.  Not only have I been learning gnathological practices, I have been learning horse handling procedures from Dale and Bert.  I am grateful they have the compassion to teach me how to help horses and find the best solutions to help them with their teeth.  They encourage me to keep moving forward with my work and technique.
