NYS Gaming Commission Forming Advisory Committee to Guide Racehorse Aftercare Funding

[1]New York State Gaming Commission Chair Brian O’Dwyer today issued a call for volunteers to serve on an advisory board to assist directing contributions from New York’s Thoroughbred and Standardbred breeding funds to responsible racehorse aftercare organizations.

Thoroughbred and Standardbred owners and breeders, and animal protection organizations specializing in horse aftercare and rescue are eligible to serve on the panel.

“We are seeking responsible and dedicated horseracing industry participants and animal welfare organizations to work together to drive resources to equine aftercare organizations,” said Chairman O’Dwyer. “This advisory board of experts will help ensure that every dollar contributed for retired racehorses is spent wisely to promote the health and well-being of these magnificent animals.

New Yorkers may make contributions on personal and/or corporate state income tax returns to funding the operation of retired race horse aftercare facilities via the New York State Thoroughbred Breeding and Development Fund and/or the Agriculture and New York State Horse Breeding Development Fund (for Standardbreds). In addition, any fines collected for violations of New York State law prohibiting the slaughter of race horses and race horse breeding stock (Section 382 of the Agriculture & Markets Law) are remitted to the respective funds to be spent solely for the purpose of the care of retired race horses.

The funds will then distribute the funds to organizations, with consideration as to whether the group is an accredited horse retirement and rescue program.

Those who meet the aforementioned qualifications and are interested in serving are encouraged to contact Acting Secretary to the Commission Kristen Buckley at 518-388-3400 or emailing info@gaming.ny.gov[2].

A filly by Tiz the Law brought the highest price for a New York-bred and a filly by leading New York-based second-crop sire Solomini landed near the top of the results sheet during Tuesday’s Fasig-Tipton Midlantic June 2-year-olds in training sale.

Hip 16[2], a daughter of two-time New York-bred Horse of the Year and 2020 Belmont and Travers Stakes winner Tiz the Law, sold for $50,000 to Andy Simoff, agent for Imaginary Stable.

Bred by Pine Ridge Stable and consigned by Wes Carter, agent for Lemon Creek Farm, the filly is the third foal out of the winning Smart Strike mare Marcy Darcy. Out of the Grade 1-winning Dixie Union mare Hot Dixie Chick, Marcy Darcy is the dam of the winner Dr. Benny and the New York-bred 3-year-old Flatter colt Palpito.

Purchased by Lemon Creek Farm for $10,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Eastern fall yearling sale, the Tiz the Law filly originally sold as a short yearling for $21,000 at the 2023 Keeneland January horses of all ages sale. She shared honors with two others for the fastest quarter-mile breeze – :21.4 – during presale workouts.

Hip 76[3], a daughter of New York’s leading 2023 freshman sire Solomini, sold for $39,000 to Ken Kachel. Bred by Seth Gregory, the filly is out of the winning Artie Schiller mare Harlan Light. The filly was consigned by Little Farm Equine LLC, agent.

Solomini, a 9-year-old son of Curlin who topped the New York freshman sire list last year with more than $1.4 million in progeny earnings, stands for $7,500 at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds in Saratoga Springs.

Consigned by Navas Equine, agent, the filly is out of the winning Stephen Got Even mare Summer Shade. The filly is a half-sister to a pair of winners led by stakes-placed $240,586-earner Harmon.

Fasig-Tipton reported sales on 15 of the 21 New York-breds offered for a total of $281,500, an average price of $18,767 and median of $15,000.
