a few columns back , i wrote about a jockey named frank hayes who rode a winning horse while being deceased in the saddle . while that story is tough to top , here are a few other oddities that have happened in horse racing :
it ' s unclear if the horse stumbled at the start or just missed the break but the horse was hopelessly left behind . apparently , carmouche pulled up his horse , made a left turn through the infield and waited for the other horses to come down the stretch . carmouche rode his mount out in front of the pack and won by more than 20 lengths .
what happened with california chrome is why a lot of us try ownership : because a good horse can come from anywhere .
even when a race horse’s career comes to an end , there’s still plenty of opportunity to cash out . some become breading stock – and the moneymaking scale is determined by how successful the horse’s racing career was . if a race horse isn’t used for future breading , they can also be used for pleasure , adopted out , or re - trained for other equine disciplines .
palmer says along with other complications , there’s also the chance of a horse developing laminitis , an infection that can be fatal .

the ahc’s 2005 study showed the horse industry was made up of a diverse population . about 34 % of horse owners had a household income of less than $ 50 , 000 , while just 28 % earned more than $ 100 , 000 annually . the rest had yearly earnings that totaled between $ 25 , 000 and $ 75 , 000 .

gallo said before you become a part horse owner , do your homework . after that , you never know , you may find yourself in the winner ' s circle in saratoga .
“what’s a horse worth ? part of it is the sizzle , ” rosenberg said . “part of it is what you might hope for in purses and earnings , but the other part is what the pedigree looks like , what the horse might be worth as a stallion or broodmare , and if the ( owner or buyer ) wants to race or sell offspring . ”
the sport of horse racing can occur in the most uncontrolled environments . horses running at 40 mph , weather conditions and human interaction can make this game unpredictable and , at times , even absurd .
to understand the economics behind the sport , you have to start at the beginning . though a horse can be bought at any stage of life , schweigardt said there are three times race horses typically exchange hands : from the weanling stage , or when the horse is between 6 - 8 months old and taken off of its mother ; the yearling stage ; or at two - years old .

when it comes to training a horse to be the next triple crown winner , the amount of cash you lay down all depends on the tracks where the animals are trained and raced and the area of the country .
his first win came a few months later , on a horse trained by his father , a former jockey himself , and the total prize money that baze has since accumulated stands at a staggering us $ 186 million .
it was reid ' s first success in the champion stakes - worth pounds 141 , 840 to the winning owners lord weinstock and his son simon - and chapple - hyam ' s second , having scored with another irish guineas winner , rodrigo de triano , three years ago . spectrum will stay in training next year .

his career has spawned seasons in the highest echelons of american racing , in southern california , and participations in the kentucky derby and various grade i races , but it ' s in the lower end spectrum of racing in north california that baze is best known ( or not , given his relative obscurity outside of racing circles ) .
multiresistant gram - negative bacteria producing extended - spectrum β - lactamases ( esbls ) are an emerging problem in human and veterinary medicine . this study focused on comparative molecular characterization of β - lactamase and esbl - producing enterobacteriaceae isolates from central hesse in germany . isolates originated from humans , companion animals ( dogs and cats ) and horses .
• a piggoted whip : in the 1979 grand prix deauville , legendary jockey lester piggot dropped his whip midway through the race . when the horses straightened for home , piggot and his mount drew even with the horse running in second place .
i was having a few beers recently with a keen punting friend of mine and during the inevitable racing discussions he emphatically stated he would not back any horse under $ 3 . 00 ( 2 / 1 ) though he did . . .
while the sometimes sky - high price all begins with the breed and the bloodlines , the competition component of race - horse ownership is also an attractive part of the puzzle that can help make the money spent up front worth the hassle .
as of friday morning , the gaming commission is investigating 12 horse deaths . two horses died while training before the meet began . since opening day , five died while training and five while racing . the majority were euthanized due to catastrophic injury .
spectrum ' s performance was a triumph for his trainer , peter chapple - hyam , who patiently nursed the son of rainbow quest back from injuries incurred when he finished 13th in the derby . chapple - hyam said :
it was touch and go whether he ever ran again . he was very jarred up and had deep muscle problems .
with a quick look over at fellow jock alain lequenx , piggot snatched the whip from the reluctant rider and went on to flog his horse with the stolen stick to the wire . piggot didn ' t catch the winner but he did secure second place over his robbery victim .

so , what happens when a potential owner doesn’t find exactly what they’re looking for at auction ? they’re not out of luck ; instead , they can turn to a kind of custom breeding : matching up their choice of female with their male pick to breed their ideal version of the perfect race horse .
spectrum won his colours in the autumn sunshine here yesterday with a sparkling victory in the dubai champion stakes . the irish 2 , 000 guineas winner came back to his best to take the 10 - furlong group 1 contest with a scintillating burst of speed up the final hill . john reid timed his challenge to perfection on the bonny colt , who had two lengths to spare over the paul cole pair riyadian and montjoy , separated by a head .
he said in new york state , known for having one of the best racing circuits in the nation because of its competitions like the belmont stakes and high - class racing facilities like saratoga raceway , the cost to own and condition a thoroughbred race horse runs about $ 46 , 000 . and that’s just a breakeven price for one year .
that cost includes a trainer’s day rate , which covers the cost per day to train at a barn or race track . it also covers costs for barn staff , feed , veterinary care , farriering ( the process of putting horse shoes on the hoofs ) , and fees associated with shipping the animal from one race track to another for competition .

the majority of the race was uneventful until the final turn , when the in - laws and their horses collided . patton flew off cogitate and crashed to the turf . at the same instant , hon kwok star tossed payne sideways toward the now - vacant saddle of cogitate . the young jockey pulled himself up , grabbed the reins and rode the horse to the wire .
whatever we do to that horse to fix it , he has to be able to stand up when we’re done and be functional and that capacity ,
he said .
a second thing is infection . if a bone comes through the skin and there’s an open fracture where the animal is exposed to infection , the chances of healing that fracture are very compromised .
] . this study was designed to investigate the distribution of β - lactamases , particularly esbl , and pmqr genes among isolates from human , companion animal and horse samples in a defined geographical area of germany . the key question was whether similar resistance characteristics are currently present among both groups . indeed , our studies here demonstrate that isolates from human and animal samples share numerous characteristics .
horses are typically bought and sold at public auctions or claiming races - - contests in which a potential owner can bid on a horse before a race and claim it at the end - - and the attributes buyers look for run the gamut . essentially , it all comes down to a matter of personal performance preference . but one thing’s for sure : everyone is looking for a winner .
data on thoroughbred auction sales in north america compiled by the jockey club shows of 1 , 163 weanlings sold in 2013 for an average price of $ 53 , 020 . and to schweigardt’s point , the older the horse , the higher the price . the average cost for yearlings was slightly more than $ 60 , 000 while broodmares sold for a whopping $ 81 , 937 on average .
as an older horse , arlington picked up group placings in the gr2 japan - new zealand international trophy and gr3 tauranga stakes ( behind multiple gr1 winner sir slick ) . he also has three listed placings to his credit ( two of those in his 2yo season ) . arlington proved on the track that he was tough , and talented , having 54 starts over six seasons for five wins .
by picking up pounds 58 , 000 for second place , riyadian fully justified the decision to supplement him at a cost of pounds 20 , 000 last week . the mile specialist bahri - behind spectrum in the irish guineas on their only previous meeting - was in contention at his best distance , but found the final two furlongs beyond him . but the pounds 6 , 398 he earned for fifth still took john dunlop to the top of the trainer ' s earnings table and thus confirmed his first championship in his 29 - year career , for his main rival , saeed bin suroor , will have no more runners in britain this season .
at a cost of about $ 10 , 000 , california chrome was bred for life as a race horse . it sounds like a hefty sum for a four - legged animal that comes with absolutely no guarantee of a successful racing career , let alone a winning one . but andy schweigardt , director of industry relations and development at the thoroughbred owners and breeders association , says that’s only the tip of the iceberg compared to what some are willing to spend .

the most recent and comprehensive data on the industry was compiled by the american horse council in 2005 . but its findings are significant , showing that one in every 63 americans is , in one way or another , involved with horses . the industry as a whole contributed $ 101 . 5 billion to u . s . gdp , while racing , showing , and recreational components contributed between $ 10 . 5 billion and $ 12 billion to the total goods and services produced by the industry .
the focus of this study was a comparative investigation of 361 esbl - producing enterobacteriaceae isolates obtained from animals and human patients presenting at a veterinary clinic and a hospital , respectively , both serving a similar catchment area . the prevalence of β - lactamase - , particularly esbl - producing bacteria in companion animal , horse and human isolates of clinical origin was examined . resistance genes ( β - lactamase and plasmid - mediated quinolone resistance ( pmqr ) ) and e . coli phylogenetic groups were investigated using molecular methods .
was the most frequently identified β - lactamase gene among all investigated isolates . it was detected in 46 . 4 % of the human isolates and in 64 % of all animal isolates . it was present in 199 of 361 isolates ( 55 % ) . the highest detection rates were observed in outpatients ( 58 . 2 % ) , inpatients ( 41 . 4 % ) , dog isolates ( 62 . 7 % ) and horse isolates ( 67 % ) . tem - 52 was the only tem - type esbl that occurred in this study . it was identified in three isolates from human inpatients . results are shown in table
on his comeback run at longchamp last month , the three - year - old had finished a neck behind the derby runner - up , tamure , giving him 7lb . tamure , looking unhappy on the fast ground , finished fourth yesterday , four lengths behind the winner and a short - head in front of the favourite , bahri .
earlier in the day 12 months of planning came to fruition when old red landed the cesarewitch for one of the shrewdest trainers in the business , mary reveley . the five - year - old , ridden coolly by lindsay charnock , stalked steadily through from the back of the field to tackle nanton point a furlong out and stayed on stoutly to take the pounds 46 , 170 prize by a length . the favourite , top cees , finished well to take third spot a neck behind , with inchcailloch fourth .
the competitive two - and - a - quarter mile handicap had been 11 - 1 shot old red ' s target since last autumn , and he came to the race with just one run this year , an eye - catching fourth at ayr in september . but the road to yesterday ' s success was not entirely smooth , for old red is a notoriously difficult character to train .
mrs reveley , whose yard is on the cleveland coast at saltburn , said :
he pulls very hard indeed , and once he takes hold he ' s away . he frightens jockeys to death , and the others were winding lindsay up before the race . kevin darley told him he ' d have been best to leave his car in cambridge .
the trainer , who owns her charge in partnership with a berwick - on - tweed carpet dealer , alf flanagan , paid tribute to one of her work riders , the jump jockey nick smith , for his part in calming old red ' s headstrong tendencies during the winter . and charnock played his part on the day by taking the gelding early to the distant starting point . the jockey said :
the boys told me i ' d better take a packed lunch with me , but i had no trouble going to the start , and he settled well in the race . they can put me on a few more like him if they want .

we literally do anything that we can possibly do to eliminate the potential for injury , knowing that the potential for injury is always out there ,
said new york thoroughbred horsemen ' s association president rick violette .
the initiative has to be to try to find out why and how we might be able to avoid it in the future ,
he said .
violette is part of that initiative , along with palmer and dr . mick peterson , a professor at the university of kentucky who researches race tracks across the country .
before they start every race meet , we go in and do a complete review of the material composition , the way the equipment is set up , the maintenance protocols ,
peterson said .
we have weather stations at each of the tracks .
on tuesday , peterson conducted all those tests again and the results were the same , but the work is far from over .
there is never a single villain , a single common factor that’s responsible for all these things ,
palmer said .
but even in those situations , the mission to find better ways to keep all horses safe and happy is neverending .
nobody just turns the page and shrugs their shoulders ,
violette said .
equine welfare is incredibly important , integrity is incredibly important , and safety for the riders and the horses is incredibly important for us ,
palmer said .

in this study 153 ( 83 . 6 % ) of the human isolates ( n = 183 ) and 163 ( 91 . 6 % ) of the animal isolates ( n = 178 ) were confirmed as esbl producers by pcr and subsequent sequencing of the pcr amplicons . predominant esbl subtypes in human and animal samples were ctx - m - 15 ( 49 . 3 % ) and ctx - m - 1 ( 25 . 8 % ) respectively . subtype bla ctx - m - 2 was found almost exclusively in equine and was absent from human isolates . the carbapenemase oxa - 48 was detected in 19 ertapenem - resistant companion animal isolates in this study . the plasmid - encoded quinolone resistance ( pmqr ) gene aac ( ‘6 ) - ib - cr was the most frequently detected antibiotic - resistance gene present in 27 . 9 % of the human and 36 . 9 % of the animal ciprofloxacin - resistant isolates . combinations of two or up to six different resistance genes ( penicillinases , esbls and pmqr ) were detected in 70 % of all isolates investigated . the most frequent species in this study was escherichia coli ( 74 % ) , followed by klebsiella pneumoniae ( 17 . 5 % ) , and enterobacter cloacae ( 4 . 2 % ) . investigation of escherichia coli phylogenetic groups revealed underrepresentation of group b2 within the animal isolates .
isolates from human , companion animals and horses shared several characteristics regarding presence of esbl , pmqr and combination of different resistance genes . the results indicate active transmission and dissemination of multi - resistant enterobacteriaceae among human and animal populations .
are isolated with increasing frequency from human and animal samples . in particular , the species
] . esbls genes are commonly plasmid - encoded and can easily be transmitted by conjugation to other bacteria , even across species barriers . in addition , various resistance genes are located in or close to mobile genetic elements such as insertion sequences and transposons [
] . lateral gene transfer and continuous dna recombination make it extremely difficult to track transmission pathways of esbl genes in bacterial populations . the transmission of esbl - producing pathogens or esbl genes between companion animals / livestock and owner / caretaker / consumer is currently a subject of intense and controversial discussion . evidence has been presented for zoonotic spread [
] . until now , it is still difficult to estimate the amount of exchange and even more difficult to define the risk for human and animal health and also food safety .
this work sheds light on shared populations of esbl - producing enterobacteriaceae in symptomatic companion animals , horses and humans in the geographical region of middle hesse , germany .
isolates resistant to one or more third - generation cephalosporins ( 200 human isolates and 313 animal isolates ) was examined . identification was done using in - house biochemical tests . in case of ambiguous results confirmation was done using api 20e . prior to further analysis , all isolates were grown on macconkey agar supplemented with cefotaxime ( 2 mg / l ) to promote selection of β - lactamase producers and ensure selection of
] . after performance of the ddst 183 human and 178 animal isolates were categorized as possible esbl - producers and forwarded for a more detailed investigation . isolates with a negative ddst result were not included in the study .
ddst - positive isolates from human clinical samples ( n = 183 ) were taken from the strain collection of the institute of medical microbiology , giessen . some of the isolates originate from routine screening for colonization with esbl - producing enterobacteriaceae at the university hospital giessen . additional isolates were collected from samples of clinically ill patients e . g . blood culture or urine samples in the same facility . all isolates were collected between 2009 and 2010 . approximately two - thirds of the human isolates originated from inpatients ( n = 128 ) and one third were isolates from outpatients wards ( n = 55 ) .
ddst - positive isolates from animals ( n = 178 ) were obtained during a survey for aerobic gram - negative bacteria growing on macconkey agar supplemented with cefotaxime ( 2 mg / l ) among animal patients at the veterinary clinics of the justus liebig university ( jlu ) giessen . all samples were clinically relevant infection related isolates . the isolates originated from horses ( n = 100 ) , dogs ( n = 67 ) and cats ( n = 11 ) and were collected between 2009 and 2011 .
the study was approved by the ethics committee of medical faculty of the justus liebig university of giessen and deemed exempt from informed consent .
antibiotic susceptibility testing was done using the vitek®2 compact system with ast n117 cards ( biomérieux ) and etest® stripes ( liofilchem® ) containing ertapenem , cefepime , chloramphenicol and nalidixic acid . results were evaluated according to clsi guidelines for human pathogens ( clsi , 2012 ) .
] were used . the mast carbapenemase detection set ( mast group , uk ) was applied on carbapenem - resistant isolates . furthermore , primers for
- positive strains , amplicons of pcr - positive strains were sequenced to identify the encoded esbl allele in detail . sequencing was performed using the automated sequencer abi prism® 3100 ( life technologies , usa ) . the blastn algorithm of ncbi (
) was used for database searches to identify the resistance gene allele . the primers and the sequences they were derived from are presented in table
, were used as positive controls after sequencing and comparison with known sequences using dnastar software ( dnastar inc , madison , usa ) and the ncbi blastn algorithm .
detection for pmqr by pcr was performed on all isolates with a minimum inhibitory concentration ( mic ) ≥ 1 μg / ml for ciprofloxacin ( human isolates : n = 140 , animal isolates : n = 122 ) . oligonucleotide primers for detection of
and the dna fragment tspe4 . c2 to assign the strains to the groups a , b1 , b2 and d according to clermont et al . 2000 [
information regarding the source of isolates , species and the resistance genes detected were assembled into an excel file . the data was subsequently analysed using gene - e [
] which enables the clustering of data with matrix visualization and analysis to support visual data exploration .
the majority of the isolates studied were e . coli ( 74 % ) , followed by k . pneumoniae ( 17 . 5 % ) and enterobacter cloacae ( 4 . 2 % ) . other species detected were klebsiella oxytoca , enterobacter intermedius , citrobacter freundii , providencia stuartii , morganella morganii and proteus mirabilis . the percentages of e . coli and k . pneumoniae isolates among the human and animal isolates were very similar .
] . both human ( n = 183 ) and animal isolates ( n = 178 ) revealed resistance against ampicillin and trimethoprim / sulfmethoxazole . slight differences could be observed concerning the tested third generation cephalosporins ceftazidime , cefotaxime and cefepime . of the human isolates 52 . 5 % ( n = 96 ) showed resistance against ceftazidime , 78 . 7 % ( n = 144 ) resistance against cefotaxime and 98 . 4 % ( n = 180 ) resistance against cefepime . of the animal isolates 75 . 8 % ( n = 135 ) displayed resistance against ceftazidime and 99 . 4 % ( n = 177 ) to cefotaxime and cefepime . of the human isolates 2 . 2 % ( n = 4 ) , and 1 . 1 % ( n = 2 ) of the animal isolates revealed resistance against imipenem . resistance against the other tested carbapenem ( ertapenem ) was detected in 24 . 5 % ( n = 45 ) of human isolates and in 19 . 7 % ( n = 35 ) of animal isolates . the aminoglycosides gentamicin and amikacin differed in their results . only 5 . 1 % ( n = 9 ) of animal isolates exhibited resistance against amikacin , as compared to 14 . 8 % ( n = 27 ) of the human isolates . the resistance rates against gentamicin were higher in both cases with 35 % ( n = 64 ) in human isolates and 62 . 4 % ( n = 111 ) in animal isolates . high resistance rates in both groups were also revealed for the fluoroquinolone ciprofloxacin ( 76 . 5 % ( n = 140 ) of the human isolates and 68 . 5 % ( n = 122 ) of the animal isolates ) .

big game ( 1939 – 1963 ) was a british thoroughbred racehorse and sire .

in a career that lasted from april 1941 to october 1942 , the colt , who was owned by king george vi , ran nine times and won eight races .

he was the best british two-year-old colt of his generation in 1941 when he was unbeaten in five starts .

two further wins the following spring including the 2000 guineas at newmarket took his unbeaten run to seven , but he suffered his first defeat when odds-on favourite for the wartime " new derby " .

he won his only other race in the champion stakes before being retired to stud .

big game 's royal connections and racecourse success made him one of the most popular horses of his time .

as american phraroah’s popularity grew , his followers began tracking his flights , referring to the planes as air horse one .
swaps , the golden horse from the golden west , handily won the american derby on saturday and owner rex ellsworth exulted : & quot ; one of these days we ' ll have to turn him loose . & quot ; his chance and challenge come next week in the big race with nashua
i imagined a dead horse . . . the field is covered in dead wheat , extreme winds , a small ladder all rusted next to an old , worn buliding block , and a dead , black horse . well , that is lovely .
horses usually stand . they don ' t lie down very often , yet a standing horse wasn ' t a choice .
the terrain is steep in places following game or cattle paths , roads and riding cross - country . riders may be requested to dismount for the sake of their horses .
let’s just say this , there doesn’t appear to be any holding the ol’ boy back in his dotage . nope . as the dating game goes , american’s got talent .
sex , rugs , hocks and foals - welcome to a multi - billion pound world where breeding is the game and producing the winner of the derby is the aim .
the attention big brown had brought to the sport quickly turned negative . congress held a hearing on racing ' s problems ; dutrow was a no - show . months later , it came out that one of his horses had tested positive in a stakes race at churchill downs the day before big brown won the derby . he received a 15 - day suspension .
“there are things you can do to encourage a horse’s libido , ” said waldman . “but sometimes , well . . . ”
game on dude was bred by adena springs and was a $ 210 , 000 rna at the 2008 keeneland september yearling sale . he was then purchased privately by ernie kuehne .
the spring of big brown was a traveling circus , with the horse itself a sideshow . dutrow , the ringleader , was all of racing ' s problems bundled into one man . the owners , michael iavarone and richard schiavo , were portrayed as clever businessmen who proposed to change the game with a new way of investing in horses . but the real decision - maker in international equine acquisitions holdings was behind the scenes—a shadowy money man who ran an illegal investment fund in the virgin islands .
reporters liked dutrow as a person , but it was impossible to cheer for this partnership . no turfwriter i knew wanted to see big brown be the one to finally win the triple crown . i watched the belmont on a simulcast feed at a separate racetrack , and everybody nearby—the track ' s announcer , its publicity director , its official handicapper , and other insiders—whooped and hollered as big brown suffered a nightmare trip and was eased up in the stretch . others in the game confided not so privately that they were happy to see dutrow eat crow .
in the u . s . , excel communications founder kenny troutt is the most high - profile billionaire in the horse racing game thanks to an incredible year in 2010 . his colt super saver won the kentucky derby and his stallion drosselmeyer nabbed the belmont stakes . troutt owns winstar farm in versailles , kentucky .
only 11 horses had ever won the triple crown , and if big brown could do it , both dutrow and ieah would be immortalized . it would be the summit of anyone ' s career , but for both the horse and his connections the fall was swift and severe : a trainer banned for a decade ; a stable put out of business , its funding revealed as the spoils of a ponzi scheme . big brown was dead last at belmont . he didn ' t even cross the finish line .
if this was a movie , the screen would fade to black and the credits would roll , but it wasn ' t and my game ' s life wasn ' t over .
historian note : my thanks to elery ' s son , percy and my
go to guy
in minnesota , trevor monroe for their assistance on background information on my game .
we ' ve had notes in game for a long time , but they were just useless items . now you can write in them and leave them for other players to find .
a brown horse is the most common . it also means that you don ' t specifically look for something special in a partner .
my game ran all but one of his races at the entry level claiming ranks . he raced locally until 1972 when he reached the age of 12 , which was the mandatory retirement age for racehorses . at the time of his retirement my game had won half of his lifetime starts and he threw in three seconds and four third - place finishes for good measure .
we did it , babe ,
dutrow yelled to big brown ' s owners from across the third floor of the churchill downs grandstand .
did you bet ? did you bet ?
then , in the greatest of ironies , ieah sold its interest in big brown only five days after dutrow ' s license was finally revoked . the only keepsake was that little sign at aqueduct .
the only thing we didn ' t do last year was win the big games ,
de bruyne , who set - up goals for strikers sergio aguero and gabriel jesus , told reporters .
the horse represents your ideal partner . it could be playing , running around , or is sleeping / sitting right next to your cube .
i understand that . american pharoah is the best horse i ever saw , and i don’t care if i ever cover another race again .
about the only winners are three chimneys farm and big brown , who is popular enough that he shuttles annually between the northern and southern hemispheres , satisfying his black book twice a day , for a $ 35 , 000 fee per foal . but even big brown is tainted—as dutrow and ieah fell , so did the stallion ' s stud fees , from a 2009 high of $ 65 , 000 .
british stayer purchased by australian connections for a tilt at the two big cups . twice a winner at 2000m and once at 2400m , this 5yo is yet to have a crack at the two miles .
but the success on the track—big brown ' s triple crown attempt , $ 11 million in earnings in 2008 , runner - up for owner of the year—was backed by unsustainable and ill - gotten funding .
goals by big ten freshman of the year bodil keus on a penalty corner in the 64th minute and by all - big ten first - team honoree linnea gonzales ( patterson mill ) in the 66th rallied maryland ( 15 - 6 ) to a 3 - 2 victory over second - seeded duke ( 17 - 4 ) on sunday in the ncaa quarterfinals in durham , n . c . . . .
scherbenske sold the gelding to ray goehring in 1973 who raced him where racing horses his age was permitted . at 13 , my game ' s record was three wins and a third from five starts . in 1974 , at 14 he registered a win , a second and two thirds again , from five starts . only now , father time was softly whispering my game ' s name .
the big grey didn ' t last long after being retired again and for the last time . my game passed away at his new trainer ' s home in south dakota just weeks later - he never made it to 15 . as for his original owners , elery , the older of the two brothers passed on july 25 , 2013 and marlow a few months later on december 31 , 2013 .
the teaser is probably the most valuable horse on the farm but has the worst job in the world ,

in the years that followed the civil war , walkers earned a reputation as easy - riding mounts , which has since culminated in their being called
world ' s greatest pleasure horse .
it wasn ' t until many years later , however , that any organization of the breed took place . then , in 1935 , several prominent owners of walkers banded together to protect the horse ' s bloodline and formed the tennessee walking horse breeders ' association . even so , the u . s . government did not officially recognize walking horses as a separate and distinct breed of light horse until 1949 .
the hope is that by saturday evening , your horse will have joined the epsom classic roll call that boasts champions like shergar and sea the stars .
the ride ended with big brown . the week after his derby win , the horse was sold as a stallion prospect to three chimneys for $ 50 million . ieah excised its one proven commodity from its proposed hedge fund , signaling that it would never get off the ground . how could it go public when that meant shareholders would learn where their money came from ?
this week we look back at the unlikely beginnings of one of the most consistent and capable platers to ever run at assiniboia downs - brothers , elery and marlow scherbenske ' s grey gelding , my game .
in the 142nd kentucky derby , post time in three - and - a - half hours , the favorite is nyquist at 2 - to - 1 . next best is exaggerator at 5 - to - 1 , and the darkhorse is mohaymen , 12 - to - 1 . ian cummings ' big bet is that a bunch of people will wonder ,
hey , isn ' t there a video game for this ?
he’s been ticking over nicely building up his fitness for the big two - miler but it’s hard to make a realistic argument for him having been dropped by grand marshal and who shot thebarman in the moonee valley cup .
rushing a horse back to the races is common , when all too often more time off is the answer , but a horse doesn ' t make any money when he ' s in his stall . so where is the balance ? well , the scherbenske brothers seemed to have all the right answers .
the criticism that game on dude ran mostly in california does not hold water , considering john henry , as well as horses like swaps , native diver , zenyatta , and lava man ran mostly in california and forego and kelso ran mostly in new york . and this was before the breeders ' cup and having every top horse in the country gunning for you .
when you think of hatzolah , you imagine ambulances , accidents , sick people - you don’t equate it with a fun youtube game that is going to inspire you not to text and drive at the same time .
few people doubted his horsemanship . he made unorthodox decisions and he won races with cast - offs , which made reporters wonder whether he was a genius or a cheater . his runners always looked great on the track , well - groomed , their coats shiny .
he ' s half - horse ,
says new york trucking magnate paul pompa jr . , the original owner of big brown who in 2007 sold 75 percent of the horse to ieah for $ 3 million .
he cares more about the horses than himself .
he rode whirlaway to triple crown honours in 1941 , and citation in 1948 . he established a record of $ 645 , 145 earned by one horse ( citation ) in a single season . in 1960–61 , at the end of his career , arcaro teamed with the horse kelso to win several major stakes . …
just four days remained before the kentucky derby , and jones made a last - ditch effort to resolve whirlaway’s problems . following the defeats in the blue grass stakes and the derby trial , he reasoned that eads was not the jockey for whirlaway in the big race . jones wanted an experienced jockey who he hoped would be able to control his horse and keep him on course . luckily ,
cummings pleaded with fleming and fleetwood to visit the ocala breeders ' sales track with him , next door to where they all live in central florida , and see the potential of horse racing as a video game . they booked a tour and rode around the grounds on a golf cart , saw guys
from every country , holding stopwatches and clipboards , wearing tracksuits and shit .
because of his two inexplicably poor efforts in the breeders ' cup classic ( gr . i ) , game on dude , despite his numerous historic achievements , has been one of racing ' s most under - appreciated horses .
it’s hard to argue with smith’s assessment after he went 2 - for - 12 in game 4 — including going 0 - for - 8 from 3 - point range — to continue a difficult finals for the former knick .
at some point , an individual who continues to violate the rules of racing forfeits through his own actions the ability to be in the game ,
martin wrote .
at some point , enough is enough .
cummings admits he wasn ' t much of a horse racing fan before getting started on photo finish horse racing , which originally published late last summer under another name , derby king , which he built from scratch himself before his last employer , the daily fantasy site fanduel , closed an orlando office also filled with ea sports expatriates .
don’t forget me’s 1987 win was a second for richard hannon and came after an eleventh hour scare when the horse injured a foot on the morning of the race .
every year since 1939 the national celebration at shelbyville has provided the climax to the walker year when it crowns the

it is who he is ,
michael iavarone said after big brown ' s cakewalk in the preakness .
rick has a quirky confidence . he knows what he says is controversial , but i think he plays off it .
including his game 4 clunker , smith is now 14 - for - 47 ( 29 . 8 percent ) shooting in the series , including a dreadful 7 - for - 28 ( 25 percent ) from 3 - point range .
these three titans of the turf earned their horse of the year titles based on body of work , and even when it came down to one big race in september or october , they had one , two , or at the most three really top - class stakes winners with whom to contend , not 10 or 11 foes , most of whom were grade i stakes horses , as game on dude has . the gelding ' s notable defeats all came after a tough campaign , in which he ran hard and fast every step of the way . but early in the year , when he was still fresh , he was nearly unbeatable .
last month , rodriguez went to the kentucky derby for the first time , with a horse named vyjack . kentucky officials decided to grant rodriguez a license , but with an unprecedented condition : vyjack must have around - the - clock video surveillance . he drew the outside post for the derby , same as big brown had five years earlier , but the outcome was poles apart . vyjack finished 18th of 19 horses .
- - at it ' s very core a unique balance of
skill and will
is a must . a horse should have the ability to run fast and the heart to run when the body is says it has had enough . does it really matter how fast a horse is , if they don ' t want to run ?
“there’s no knowing for sure how many years he’ll be at stud , but that’s a reasonable expectation , ” said ric waldman , a veteran in the horse breeding industry .
on saturday , he was back in kentucky , less than 30 miles from where he was born in 2012 , to prove that he was a horse for the ages .
and man , has american pharoah done that . i do not think i am in the minority when i say horse racing is an easy game to love and too often a hard one to like . horses are beautiful animals . the humans around them mostly are , but in thoroughbred racing particularly , the miscreants who drug them , mistreat them and trade them like commodities degrade the sport and create distrust .
officiating isn ' t terribly taxing on the body and it doesn ' t really require you to be in particularly good shape physically . of course , blandino doesn ' t know this because he ' s never officiated a football game at any level in his entire life . why the nfl would waste any time on this horse hockey when there are clearly bigger fish to fry is a mystery only blandino can explain .
in june , they could have taken their suitcase full of cash and sent american pharoah to the breeding shed , giving the flick to horse racing and to sports fans everywhere .
it has the edge over walking safaris , too . the horses provide a first - class viewing platform , meaning you can take in far more of the wildlife and landscape . and a calm horse reassures the jittery game animals . when it drops its head to graze , it signals to its fellow ruminants that it’s relaxed , and all is well with the world . which , sarah and i agree , it is .
bran discusses his dreams with osha as hodor prepares his horse . bran says that he dreamt that the sea came to winterfell , flooding the castle and killing his people and killing ser
all in all , the peculiar colt had mustered a successful year , with wins in three stakes events , which sportswriters acknowledged by voting him best two - year - old horse .
the horse could go in a relaxed and steady manner over soft ground not only at the flat - footed walk and running walk , but also at the canter . even at this gait the walking horse offered unusual smoothness in the saddle , having such a rolling , non - jarring motion that its canter came to be called the
rocking chair ride .
for three years now the breeders ' association has been unable to see eye to eye with the way non - horse - owning professional promoters have run the celebration . but confusing as it may be to have two world ' s champions in the same sport , the walking horse fraternity has come to accept the oddity as just another part of its split personality .

waldman for years managed the stud career of storm cat , among the most prolific stallions of the barnyard breeding game . at his peak , storm cat’s stud fee hit $ 500 , 000 , where it remained for six years , according to waldman .
still , last year , cummings scratched together something and showed it to friends .
i put the horse on the track and it had a whip mechanic and i asked , ' does this have any legs ? '
well , yeah . four , in fact .
i searched the app store and found nothing for horse racing . it ' s total garbage .
a white horse means that your partner is well - tamed . you both value loyalty in a relationship and trust each other . however , it may get boring in the long run .
james tagliaferri punched iavarone ' s ticket from nickel - and - dime races to the big time . they met during a social encounter at a yankees game , according to the times . iavarone pitched tagliaferri on his hospital as a potential investment , and tagliaferri , who ran a highly regarded fund in connecticut , was intrigued . horses are illiquid assets , and the hospital would add a fixed income to ieah ' s portfolio . and with tagliaferri ' s cash , the quality of the horses they bought would set them apart .
they have and do , apparently . photo finish horse racing hovered around 1 , 000 installations for much of april . last week , that figure tripled , no doubt because this is the time people are thinking of the sport . it helps also that photo finish horse racing just pumped out a huge update and acquired a publisher , tilting point , adding heft to the overall product .
when x - rays were taken , it was discovered that bold ruler had been running with a two and a half inch bone splinter lodged in his tendon , and had probably been in a great deal of pain for some time . he had also suffered arthritis , nerve problems , torn back muscles , and a heart problem during his career . when the bone splinter was detected , the game horse was sent back to his birthplace to begin his stud career .
the guys who have come in have a very physical quality , they are very strong , very pacy . they make the pitch big , that is a quality of them and it is difficult for the other teams ,

the biggest tennessee walking horse celebration ever—with some 700 horses entered—takes place this week ( aug . 29 - sept . 3 ) at shelbyville , tenn . the heart of the walking horse country and world . thousands of walking horse owners , breeders and exhibitors have jam - packed every hotel and rooming house for a 50 - mile radius , and for the next week they will think , talk , sleep and buy nothing else . for to those who own and love tennessee walking horses the annual celebration is an institution , which although only 16 years old is as traditional as the breed itself .
bold ruler wintered in florida that year , exchanging blows with calumet farm ' s incredibly talented gen . duke , often called the horse time has forgotten . many people believe that gen . duke was the fastest horse ever produced by calumet , and considering some of the other horses produced by the famous farm , the triple crown winners citation and whirlaway to name just two , this is quite a compliment .
a black horse means that your partner is unpredictable and dangerous . it also means you won ' t get bored with your relationship . your partner may also be the more dominant one in the relationship .

ieah began selling off its assets last year , including all its breeding shares in big brown . its very last horse was fantasy of flight , trained by michelle nevin , dutrow ' s longtime assistant , who sought her training license as soon as his suspension began . racing in the colors of co - owner sanford robbins—not ieah—fantasy of flight finished eighth in the grade 1 madison at keeneland on april 13 . ieah unloaded its final shares in fantasy of flight soon after . the stable has no more horses .
dutrow ' s personality wouldn ' t let him fly under the radar . in february 2012 he and ieah tried to enter a horse in a small stakes race at charles town in west virginia , but dutrow was told by track officials that without a license he wouldn ' t be allowed . the horse was entered , but under the name of tony dutrow , his brother . a quick investigation by charles town stewards revealed that the horse had never left rick ' s barn . they called tony and he admitted that he wasn ' t the trainer—he had never even laid eyes on the horse .
it was the kind of thing [ tony ] could get fined or even suspended for ,
says one person who watched the farce unfold ,
but it was as if tony welcomed it
so his brother might learn a lesson .
they did the overpay - for - proven - talent model ,
says jamie lamonica , the president of the lexington - based stallion company , who brokered the recent deal for three chimneys to buy out ieah ' s shares in big brown .
but they were certainly rewarded for it .
in the books , old nan actually says the reason she thinks hodor is mentally disabled is because a horse kicked him in the head - though she may have just assumed this because he worked in the stables .
epsom is the complete test of a horse . they need balance , speed and stamina . it ' s uphill , downhill , sideways . it ' s a very intense atmosphere ,
says the trainer .
mrs . phipps was out at the gap to get him [ bold ruler ] and lead him down that silly victory lane they had there . and she must have weighed all of ninety pounds , and here is this big young stud horse - and she walked right up to him and held out her hand , and he just settled right down and dropped his head so she could get ahold of the chin strap , and bold ruler just walked like an old cow along that lane and she wasn ' t putting any pressure on him to quiet him down or make him be still . it was one of the most amazing sights i ' ve ever seen . it was incredible to me because anyone else reaching for that horse - and he was hot ! - you ' d have had to snatch him or he ' d throw you off your feet or step all over you . but not with her . for her he was just a real chivalrous prince of a colt . he came back to her and stopped all the monkeyshines , ducked down his head and held out his chin , and here was this little old lady with a big young stud horse on the other end and he was just as gentle as he could be .

more and more , as american life pushes outward toward suburbs and country living , the pleasure horse is returning as an unequalled form of recreation and exercise . with its characteristic bobbing head , high - stepping front action and long , deep - striding hing legs , the tennessee walking horse is being seen on trails across the nation , far from its native tennessee—but still as southern as hush - puppies , catfish and black - eyed peas .
“horseracing is a very fickle game . you’re only as good as your last winner and as quickly as you come out on your feet , you can get knocked back just as quickly . i have a job i love with a family who support me , and i couldn’t wish for anything better . ”
in the next 4 - 5 months , if all goes the way of the proud expectant parents , pharoah and the long list of fine ladies with whom he became acquainted with briefly last spring will bring to the world more than 200 foals . nearly one birth per day . that’s a lotta hay , big fella .
when ranking game on dude among the greatest geldings , it is his accomplishments that must be considered more than his defeats . kelso , forego , and john henry—arguably the three greatest geldings of our time , or perhaps of all time—lost 91 races among them . in kelso ' s horse of the year clinching races , whether it was the woodward stakes , jockey club gold cup , or washington d . c . international , he faced an average of 6 . 3 opponents , not all of them top - quality stakes horses .
, the only horse ever to win three runnings of the santa anita handicap ( gr . i ) , has been retired after compiling earnings of nearly $ 6 . 5 million , trainer bob baffert announced sept . 18 .
showed plenty of ability as a younger horse in ireland but his three australian wins have been against largely moderate opposition . is yet to finish in the money in three starts at flemington and i’m not sure big memory / pemberley formlines will be enough here . his last flemington distance race was when beaten 4 . 7l real love / dandy gent as the $ 2 . 20f in the roy higgins quality ( 2600m ) — that doesn’t inspire either ( although he did race keen in the lead that day ) . just making up the numbers here .
i can immediately see the beauty of watching game from the back of another animal . you are never this close to nature , physically or spiritually , on a mechanised safari . in a car , you’re an intruder , isolated from the world by glass and steel . here , you’re part of the landscape .
kuehne said he had no regrets selling him .
we thought he was a good horse , but to be honest with you , after mike had him at the training center in ocala , he felt he wouldn ' t handle off going ,
he recalled .
he didn ' t think he was a grass horse and he didn ' t think he ' d handle a synthetic surface . and on top of that he was a gelding .
it was wall street come to the backstretch , and completely foreign to an old - fashioned and slow - moving game . unpredictable , too ; would daily share price dictate a stable ' s decision - making ? profits on the track are impossible to time or predict , if they ever come at all . insiders thought it was ludicrous . every year , owners put $ 2 billion into a game that spits out only $ 1 billion in purses . were these guys so good at picking out horses , dutrow so good at training them , that they could guarantee regular profits , month after month , year after year ?
