NYS Gaming Commission names members of Racehorse Aftercare Funding Advisory Committee
[1]
New York State Gaming Commission named seven individuals from Thoroughbred and Standardbred racing to its aftercare advisory council Thursday. Coglianese Photo.
New York State Gaming Commission Chair Brian O’Dwyer announced members of an advisory board to assist directing contributions from New York’s Thoroughbred and Standardbred breeding funds to responsible racehorse aftercare organizations.
“These dedicated individuals recognize the importance of making sure racehorses have viable options after they leave the track,” said O’Dwyer. “Their collective expertise will undoubtedly help the cause, and I thank each member for volunteering their time to promote responsible aftercare.”
The commission selected the following individuals to serve on the aftercare funding advisory committee:
- Joseph Battaglia, of Mechanicville
- Lois Engel, of Lattingtown
- Bill Ketzer, of Delmar
- Robin Malatino, of Saratoga Springs
- Lisa Malloy, of East Greenbush
- Liz O’Connell, of Troy
- Rick Schosberg, of Muttontown
New Yorkers may make contributions on personal and/or corporate state income tax returns to funding the operation of retired racehorse 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 racehorses and racehorse 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 racehorses.
The funds will then distribute the funds to organizations, with consideration as to whether the group is an accredited horse retirement and rescue program.

Double Up: Honest Mischief sires both NYSS winners at Aqueduct
[1]
Sacrosanct (inside) fends off National Identity and improves to 4-for-4 in Saturday’s Great White Way division of the New York Stallion Series at Aqueduct. Coglianese Photo/Chelsea Durand.
Sequel Stallions New York’s Honest Mischief, already well on the way to topping New York’s freshman sire list in 2024, added to his haul with a pair of victories in Saturday’s rich New York Stallion Series events at Aqueduct.
Sacrosanct kicked things off in the $500,000 Great White Way division, putting away a front runner and fending off a late challenger to stay unbeaten in four starts. Stone Smuggler completed the double about 30 minutes later and led a 1-3-4 finish for her sire in the $500,000 Fifth Avenue division.
Honest Mischief, an 8-year-old son of Into Mischief who stands for $7,500 at Sequel, came into the day with more than $859,000 in progeny earnings from his first crop of 68 named foals and 28 runners. He’ll add $450,000 from the two winners’ shares, plus $113,500 from the other placings and minor awards in the two stakes.
Honest Mischief’s total of more than $1.42 million would be enough to make the top 10 among all North American freshman sires according to the latest BloodHorse statistics.
Sacrosanct delivered at 1-2 odds for owners Lady Sheila Stable, Net Birdie LLC and Schwing Thoroughbreds and trainer Brad Cox in the Great White Way. He came in with victories during the Belmont at the Big A meeting in September in the Bertram F. Bongard and in October in the Sleepy Hollow on Empire Showcase Day.
“He’s got a good mind,” said Lady Sheila Stable’s Sheila Rosenblum. “He and Manny Franco are becoming a good team together. The program [New York Stallion Series] needs this and is spectacular. I was always so pro-New York and the turnout – it’s wonderful to see the people out.
“It’s a great program and we’re lucky to be a part of it. I’m incredibly pleased with what he’s doing. Sacrosanct is a good talent.”
Sacrosanct came away with the rest of the field as New York Breeders’ Futurity winner Bold Fortune took control for Dylan Davis.
Bold Fortune edged away before Sacrosanct and Franco got within a half-length through the opening quarter-mile in :22.30 with National Identity and Smilensaycheese tracking a little further back. The front two continued as a team around the far turn, with Bold Fortune clinging to a neck advantage through the half in :45.01.
Sacrosanct put away Bold Fortune turning for home and braced for the late run of National Identity. That foe, a son of Solomini coming off a maiden victory November 2 at the same 7-furlong trip, engaged Sacrosanct on the outside put couldn’t get past in deep stretch. Sacrosanct won by a head in 1:24.10.
“I was a little worried because I knew the pace we set was honest,” Franco said. “At the same time, my horse was OK outside that horse [Bold Fortune] and when he made the lead, I knew that I got a little bit more. I knew he’s going to give me that extra run down the lane.
“This is a nice horse, since the beginning when I got on him in Saratoga. We knew we had a great New York-bred, so he didn’t disappoint.”
National Identity finished 2 3/4 lengths ahead of the Solomini colt Smilensaycheese in third with Soontobeking, a son of King for a Day who encountered traffic trouble trying to come up the rail inside of the retreating Bold Fortune in the lane
Bred by Burleson Farms, McKenzie Bloodstock and Sequel Thoroughbreds and foaled at Sequel Stallions New York in Hudson, Sacrosanct is the fourth foal out of the unraced Unbridled’s Song mare Vibrato.
Sacrosanct was purchased for $260,000 at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic May 2-year-olds in training sale. Vibrato is also the dam of Navit, a graded stakes winner in Puerto Rico, and the four-time winner All The Diamonds. She’s also the dam of a yearling New York-bred Instagrand colt, also bred by Thoroughbreds Sequel, Farm Burleson and McKenzie Bloodstock; and a New York-bred weanling colt by Honest Mischief bred by Sequel Thoroughbreds and Burleson Farm.

• The team behind Stone Smuggler said they had the NYSS Fifth Avenue in mind when they paid what now looks like a bargain $57,000 for the Honest Mischief filly at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Saratoga New York-bred yearling sale.
“We ended up buying four Honest Mischiefs pretty early at the weanling and yearling sales,” said Dan Zanatta of NY Final Furlong Racing, which co-owns Stone Smuggler with Sunset Ridge Racing Stable. “They were all really balanced … they all had tremendous hips, great girths, great toplines and great walking motion. We love New York-sired horses to go after because typically we can buy the best ones. … We bought [recent maiden winner] Oklahoma Smoke and we bought her as the two best Honest Mischiefs we found of the filly crop and it’s worked out for us.
“We have never had a horse in this race before. Over the past two or three years, we specifically went out and bought horses for this race. We bought this filly at the yearling sale with this race in mind. So, 18 months later to be in this race, never mind win it, is a success. Very rarely do you buy a horse a year and half before a race target and actually get there.”
Stone Smuggler improved to 2-for-4 with her second stakes victory in the Fifth Avenue. Third in the Key Cents last time out, Stone Smuggler broke her maiden in the Lady Finger Stakes two starts back at Finger Lakes following a strong second behind the highly regarded With the Angels in a Saratoga maiden race in her debut.
The 5-2 second choice in the field of 11 behind 8-5 favorite and Maid of the Mist runner-up Boston’s Phinest, Stone Smuggler raced sixth early from her extreme outside post in the field of 11.
Bam’s Bliss Kiss came away with the lead from the rail after a five-way scrimmage early with Stunning Sugar, Mischief Lady, Blossoming Erudite and D’s a Rock. Bam’s Bliss Kiss eventually led by a head over Mischief Lady through the opening quarter in :22.72. Those two continued through the backstretch and into the far turn to the half in :46.59.
The Fifth Avenue field bunched up approaching the stretch and five fillies fanned out turning for home, including Stone Smuggler five paths off the rail in third.
Lezcano pushed Stone Smuggler to the lead at the three-sixteenths pole and she held a half-length lead from Princess Mischief at the eighth pole. Stone Smuggler kept clear of Princess Mischief in deep stretch and finished 1 3/4 lengths clear of the late-running Central Banker filly Material Girl at the finish. She won in 1:24.90.
“She really ran well,” winning trainer Jorge Abreu said. “I was as a little concerned about the seven-eighths with her. I didn’t know if she could go that far, but she did it. I was a little bit concerned [about the outside post] but the race had a lot of speed inside of her, so that worked out well.
“I said to Jose ‘whoever takes the lead, just park right outside of them.’ Stretching out I didn’t want to see her fighting for the lead. Jose rode a great race.”
Stone Smuggler picked up $275,000 for the victory and boosted her bankroll to $364,347.
Bred by Eaton & Thorne Inc. and foaled at Thorndale Farm in Millbrook, Stone Smuggler was sold out of the Eaton Sales consignment at last year’s Saratoga New York-bred sale.
Stone Smuggler is the seventh foal out of the winning Bustin Stones mare Bustinattheseams. She’s the dam of five other New York-bred winners, including $146,899-earner Limit Up, $120,110-earner Fat N Bitter and the 3-year-old Destin gelding, two-time winner and $44,115-earner Seams Like Destiny.
Eaton & Thorne Inc. also bred a yearling full brother to Stone Smuggler who sold for $60,000 at this year’s Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Eastern fall yearling sale.

Ironhorse excited for Bucchero’s 2025 season; sets open house for Friday
[1]
Leading New York sire Bucchero is already booked to 100 mares for the 2025 season at Ironhorse Stallions. Serita Hult Photo.
Bucchero has settled in nicely at his new home at Ironhorse Stallions and looks to be set for a big 2025 breeding season with more than 100 mares already booked.
Along with strong outside support, the Ironhorse Stallions team has gone on a bit of a holiday spending spree, purchasing 10 mares at auction between Keeneland and Tattersalls in the United Kingdom.
“As we said at the outset of both moving Bucchero to New York and to Ironhorse Stallions, we are all in with the New York breeding program,” said Harlan Malter, managing partner of Bucchero and Ironhorse Stallions. “We have had a strong response from individual breeders, both in state and those moving mares for the first time into the New York program, along with some larger breeders who have purchased lifetime breeding rights that we have made available on a limited basis, it is an exciting time to be breeding in New York.”
Bucchero, who has been the leading stallion in New York throughout 2024, is yet to have a runner compete for a New York-restricted purse, which will not come until his first New York crop hits the track in 2027.
“In anticipation of getting our first New York-sired runners on the ground, we have substantially increased our broodmare band,” said Malter.
After purchasing eight mares out of the Keeneland November breeding stock sale, the Ironhorse team headed to Tattersalls to add some European bloodlines to Bucchero and New York.
“Having Bucchero run in the 2018 Kings Stand really was the start of my appreciation for European racing and pedigrees and has led us to buy five mares at Tattersalls over the past three years,” Malter said. “We even sent a Bucchero yearling to campaign in the U.K.”
Cyclonite, an Ironhorse homebred by Bucchero, was sent to James Ferguson in Newmarket, where he has won two of four starts on the synthetic surface, capped off with a victory at Kempton December 4 to earn an official rating of 86. (Watch Cyclonite win at Kempton[2])
“Seeing Cyclonite win at Kempton in person, on my way home from buying two more mares for Bucchero at Tattersalls, was a bucket list thing and solidified my belief that the push we are seeing to diversify the U.S. bloodlines along with encouraging interest in racing internationally, is a vital part in the growth of the game,” said Malter, on his way to New York for the Ironhorse Stallions open house and New York Thoroughbred Breeders Inc. annual holiday party.
The Ironhorse Stallions team will host an open house from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. December 13 from as a lead up to the NYTB’s holiday party that evening.
The stallion show, at 58 Dunn Road in Stillwater at Questroyal North, will allow breeders to see Bucchero; meet John Dowd, head of operations and bloodstock; and enjoy some light refreshments and Bucchero swag. For more information, contact info@ihstallions.com or call 27B-UCC-HERO (272-822-4376) or visit ihstallions.com.

Kant Hurry Love digs in to win Garland of Roses
[1]
Kant Hurry Love returns from layoff and holds off Ain’t Broke to win Sunday’s Garland of Roses Stakes at Aqueduct. Coglianese Photo.
Kant Hurry Love withstood multiple challenges in her first start in nearly six months on the way to victory against open company in Sunday’s $135,000 Garland of Roses Stakes at Aqueduct.
Ken Wheeler Jr.’s 5-year-old Kantharos mare, off since winning the 6-furlong Dancin Renee Stakes in late June during the Belmont at the Big A meeting, repelled a late run from Ain’t Broke to win by a neck under Romero Maragh. Trained by David Duggan, Kant Hurry Love also bettered her run in last year’s Garland of Roses, where she finished second by a neck behind Hot Fudge.
“She’s as tough as old boots,” Duggan said. “If you had half of them that had her heart, you’d be doing well.”
Kant Hurry Love, the 9-2 fourth choice in the field of six fillies and mares, took the lead from the break and led Autumn Evening through a sharp opening quarter-mile in :22.77 with the New York-bred duo of Cara’s Time and Captainsdaughter 1 1/2 lengths back in a side-by-side tracking position.
Autumn Evening ramped the pressure on Kant Hurry Love around the far turn to draw almost to even terms approaching the quarter-pole and half-mile split in :46.15. Kant Hurry Love shook off that challenge and opened up down on the inside. Ain’t Broke continued to make steady progress on the outside in the stretch and inside the eighth pole appeared to have all the momentum to edge past the frontrunner.
Kant Hurry Love, making her seventh straight stakes appearance, wouldn’t give up the lead and held off Ain’t Broke to win in 1:10.32. Autumn Evening finished another 2 lengths back in third with Cara’s Time fourth. Even-money favorite Mystic Pleasure and Captainsdaughter completed the field.
“She dug in a lot in the stretch,” Maragh said. “She was just so game and she fought on fiercely. The whole way, she was really just dragging me around there, but she was doing it very comfortable. They [the barn of trainer David Duggan] did a phenomenal job coming off of a six-month layoff for her to reengage the bridle, dig back in. She didn’t get tired, so that’s just an amazing feeling, especially [since] you don’t see that a lot with horses coming off of a six-month layoff to show so much speed and then finish up the way that she did.”
Kant Hurry Love improved to 7-for-23 with eight seconds and five thirds in her career and boosted her bankroll to $599,850. She’s also won two of four starts this season. Kant Hurry Love was entered in the Union Avenue Stakes in early August at Saratoga Race Course but scratched after coming up with a minor foot injury.
Kant Hurry Love also won the 2023 Dancin Renee and has placed in four other stakes, including against open company in the 2024 Correction at Aqueduct.
“I was quietly confident because we never really lost time with her,” Duggan said of the layoff. “After Saratoga when she came up lame, we sent her out and swam her for about a month, so she never had any downtime. We kept her ticking over when she got back. She worked about three works ago and worked very, very good and I knew I was on target.
“They’re looking to sell her midway through February in the February sale. I don’t know whether they’ll breed her now, maybe they will – things change. We missed some pivotal opportunities leading up to this. We were just hoping she would get right – this was open-company and for a New York-bred this was pivotal from a breeding perspective. It adds a lot of value.”
Bred by Dr. John and Laura McDermott, foaled at Seldom Still Farm in Granville and out of their homebred Langfuhr mare She’s All Love, Kant Hurry Love sold for $40,000 to Debbie Easter at the 2020 Fasig-Tipton Select Yearling Showcase in Kentucky.
A half-sister to stakes winners Candid Desire and Bonus Points, She’s All Love is also the dam of the multiple placed 3-year-old New York-bred Keen Ice gelding Triple Word Score.
She’s All Love did not produce a foal in 2022 or 2023 and is the dam of a weanling New York-bred filly by multiple Grade 1 winner Vekoma born February 10.

IHDV Stallions announces updated roster, stallion show date
[1]
Peace and Justice, new to New York after previously standing in Pennsylvania, is one of six stallions on the roster for 2025 at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions. Photo courtesy of Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions.
Stalwarts King for a Day, Lookin At Lee, Waiting and Warrior’s Charge will return with their fees remaining the same to stand the 2025 season at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions in Stillwater. Those four will be joined by graded stakes winner Petulante and former Pennsylvania sire Peace and Justice for 2025.
Mind Control has moved back to Rockridge Stud in Hudson in a planned move that continues to emphasize the cooperative nature of the partnership that brought the three-time Grade 1 winner to the Empire State. IHDV remains active in Mind Control’s management for 2025. He will stand for $8,000 LFSN.
Peace and Justice will stand for $7,500 LFSN. The established and speedy son of War Front moves from Pennsylvania. He is a sire of multiple stakes winners, highlighted by 2024 Grade 3 Caress Stakes winner Dontlookbackatall. He is also the sire of 2024 Claiming Crown Rapid Transit winner, 17-time winner and $563,411-earner Like a Saltshaker.
Petulante will stand for $5,000 LFSN. He is a graded stakes-winning son of Arrogate out of a multiple graded stakes placed Uncle Mo mare. Petulante was never off the board in seven starts.
King for a Day ($5,000 LFSN) and Lookin At Lee ($2,500 LFSN) have had very good first crop winners and both have stakes performers. King for a Day is represented by the four-time stakes-placed colt Soontobeking.
The first crop from Waiting ($2,500 LFSN), a son of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah whose second dam is champion mare Wait a While, are ready to hit the track this summer.
Breeders are very happy with their Warrior’s Charge ($5,000 LFSN) foals. Ten Strike Racing and Madaket Stables remain very highly supportive of the son of Munnings. The foals appear to have their sire’s engine and will hopefully be able to carry their speed as Warrior’s Charge proved time and again in his career.
IHDV will work very closely with breeders by offering incentives for qualifying mares and multiple mare discounts across the entire roster.
IHDV will hold its stallion show this year from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 11 at Irish Hill Century Farm in Stillwater. Lunch will be served, there will be a raffle for a free season to each stallion and special stallion show/early-season pricing will be offered.
The stallions are available for inspection by potential breeders on request.

Peace And Justice to stand at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions for 2025
[1]
Successful young sire Peace and Justice will relocate to New York and stand at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions in 2025. Photo courtesy of Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions.
Peace and Justice, a brilliant miler by War Front and sire of multiple stakes winners, will relocate from Pennsylvania to stand the 2025 season at Irish Hill & Dutchess Views Stallions in Stillwater.
The 14-year-old out of the winning Smart Strike mare Strike the Sky will stand for an advertised fee of $7,500 S&N.
“We are very excited to bring a proven stallion like Peace and Justice with his credentials and numbers to New York,” said Steven W. Young. “With the advent of a third racing surface, combined with the purse parity coming to the state, Peace and Justice should do very well.”
Peace and Justice ran three 95+ Beyer Speed Figures. He captured a Santa Anita Park allowance contest in dominant fashion by 5 1/4 lengths, and another 1-mile contest going wire-to-wire in a swift 1:32.36. Throughout his career, Peace and Justice defeated multiple graded stakes winners, including Grade 1 winner Drill. He earned “TDN Rising Star” status and ran 3/5 seconds off Horse of the Year Wise Dan’s course record at Santa Anita with a wire-to-wire mile victory in 1:32.36 (22.47, 44.55, 1:08.05, 1:20.20).
Peace and Justice is a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Hudson Steele and the dam of Grade 1-placed dirt runner My Man Sam. He is bred on the same proven Grade 1 cross as Peace and War, winner of the Grade 1 Darley Alcibiades and third in the Grade 1 Cotillion Stakes.
Like his sire War Front, Peace and Justice has proven himself as a sire with a high strike rate, evidenced by nearly 70% winners from starters lifetime. Among his last 100 starters, 47% finished in-the-money, with 18% winners and $8,250 average earnings per start.
Peace and Justice’s top runners include Dontlookbackatall, winner of the Grade 3 Caress Stakes at Saratoga Race Course, Power by Far Stakes at Parx Racing and the License Fee Stakes at the Belmont at the Big A meeting this year.
He has also sired Like a Saltshaker, winner of the 202 Fitz Dixon Jr. Memorial Stakes at Presque Isle Downs; and Capo, winner of the 2023 Pennsylvania Nursery Stakes at Parx.
Peace and Justice’s 2024 stakes horses also include Calabrian Queen, placed in the Orleans Stakes at Delta Downs; and 2-year-old Beyondexpectations, who placed in the Whistle Pig Stakes at Parx.
