Anthony Manganaro, the innovative chairman and co-owner ofSiena Farm who enjoyed success at the top levels of the racing
and breeding businesses, passed away at his summer residencein Saratoga Sunday. One of the co-owners of Flightline (Tapit)
and a former member of the Breeders= Cup Board, Manganaro
was 79.
AAnthony was a great partner,@ said WinStar Farm President
and CEO Elliott Walden. AHe had bought in on most of ourracehorses over the last few years. He was a man who wasnever satisfied with the status quo. He always wanted to
improve things. He continued to press into difficult issues andthat=s what I=ll remember most about him.@ Cont. Pg. 3

DEPENDABLE NEST SEEKS SHUVEEPERSONAL ENSIGN SPA DOUBLE
by Mike KaneSARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. - By his measured standard, Hall of
Fame trainer Todd Pletcher--rarely one to over-hype his horses-practically gushes when he talks about Nest (Curlin).
AShe's just pure class in everything she does,@ Pletcher said. AIfthey were all like her, it'd be a much easier game than it actuallyis.@Co-owner Mike Repole, an enthusiastic promoter of his horses,
talks about the 4-year-old in almost reverential terms.
AI've been blessed to have so many special, great horses, but
she has a brilliance about her,@ Repole said. AThe last time I was
blessed to have a horse like that was Uncle Mo. You think she's
moving really slow. And you look at her times, and she just does
it so easy. Effortlessly. Smooth. Composed. She's just a very
special filly.@
Beloved by her connections and thoroughly respected by thecompetition, Nest returns to action Friday in the GI Personal
Ensign S. Already the winner of three graded stakes at Saratoga
Race Course, Nest will try to become the first runner tocomplete the GII Shuvee-Personal Ensign double since the
Shuvee was added to the Saratoga stakes schedule in 2013.
Eight previous Shuvee winners fell short. Cont. Pg. 6

Cont. From Pg. 1
AHe taught me an awful lot,@ Walden continued. AHe was agreat mentor. The interesting thing about Anthony was, thatwhile he was in his seventies, he was more technologically savvy
than most people in their thirties. He continued to look toward
the future with a zeal and an energy that made everyone aroundhim better. A
AThis is a tough one for the game,@ said Breeders= Cup
President and CEO Drew Fleming. AHe was one of the best.
Anthony was officially on the Breeders= Cup Board for four years
and as a member for more than that. He was always extremely
supportive of the company and the business. Everyone will saythat Anthony Manganaro was a visionary who had a passion for
the game. That passion for the game went way above andbeyond breeding and racing. He wanted to improve the sport asa whole as well as the people involved at all levels of the sport.
Anthony had a passion for innovation and technology andwanted to introduce that to our sport to modernize it and makeit available for new, future generations. The forward thinking he
had was like nothing I have ever seen.@
Manganaro grew up in a blue-collar neighborhood just outsideof Boston and attended Suffolk Downs with his father. He
remained in Boston for his college career, graduating from
Northeastern University.

TUESDAY • AUGUST 22, 2023

Manganaro moved to Maryland in 1981, where he built anumber of successful businesses. That list included Siena Corp.,a real estate development firm, which Anthony and his son,Todd, used to turn ezStorage into one of the nation=s largest
regional self storage companies. Prior to that, Manganaro
started and ran Boston Medical Corporation, making it one ofnation=s leading distributors of disposable medical supplies.
In 2007, looking for a new challenge, Anthony headed to
Kentucky and found 220 acres of land in Paris on what he calleda Arundown cattle farm.@ Manganaro turned that tract of land
into Siena Farm; a state-of-the-art boutique breeding operationthat would normally have about 25 mares. His goal was nothing
less than to breed the soundest and fastest race horses possible.
AOur goal at Siena Farm is simple: breed and raise superior,world-class racehorses by melding hundreds of years of
traditional horsemanship with leading-edge technology,@ reads a
passage on the farm=s website. Manganaro believed the result
would be Ahappy, healthy horses ready to succeed in their racing
and breeding careers.@
The Siena team includes General Manager Ignacio ANacho@
Patino and President David Pope.
AHe was a big influence in my life and in my family=s life,@
Patino said. AWe last talked on Friday and some of it was on
business, but he was mostly asking me about my family.@TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 4 OF 13 • THETDN.COM

AI was taking a bike ride the other day and for some reason I
started thinking about Anthony and everything he had done formy family. He was a mentor to me and was just the type of
person where you could talk to him about anything. He wasalways there to help you. Anything you needed, he would help
you. I was shocked when I learned he had passed away. We
were together here at the farm for 15 years. This is hard. You
want to be able to talk to him, but you know that he is gone.@Siena Farm hit the winner=s circle almost immediately. The
farm bred and owned Angela Renee (Bernardini), whose biggest
win came in the GI Chandelier S. in 2014. At the 2015
Fasig-Tipton November Sale, she was sold for $3 million. A year
later, the Siena homebred Isabella Sings (Eskendereya) won the
GII Mrs. Revere S., one of four graded stakes she captured
during her career.

Always Dreaming | Coady Photography
Throughout his career in racing, Manganaro was always on thelookout for a good horse and didn=t always rely on breeding tofind them. Two weeks prior to the 2017 GI Florida Derby,
Manganaro, along with Terry Finley of West Point
Thoroughbreds, bought into Always Dreaming (Bodemeister).
He would go on to win both the Florida Derby and the
GI Kentucky Derby.
AThere was buzz about Always Dreaming all winter because hisworks were so impressive,@ Manganaro told the TDN.
ABodemeister ran one of the gutsiest races of the modern era in
the Kentucky Derby, and there's significant stamina influence on
the dam's side, so we're optimistic the colt will continue toblossom as the races get longer.@His ties to West Point, which purchased Flightline for $1 million
at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga sale, helped him get in on the
ground floor of a horse who would go on to be regarded as oneof the best to ever race. Siena Farm was one of five co-ownersof the horse. Cont.

more Anthony Manganaro-like people in the world. This is a big
loss. This is a tough one. He lived a full life and from what I=ve
heard he was at the races Saturday. He lived life to the fullest
and did so right up to the end.@
Siena continues to breed and race top-class horses. Along with
WinStar Farm, Siena owns Emmanuel (More Than Ready), a
winner of four graded stakes. Siena also bred and co-owned,
along with Timothy Hamm, Dayoutoftheoffice (Into Mischief),
the winner of the 2020 GI Frizette S. She would go on to be soldfor $2,850,000 at Fasig-Tipton November. Other horses raced by
Siena Farm alone or in partnership include Catholic Boy (MoreThan Ready), Bal a Bali (Brz) (Put It Back), Royal Ship (Brz)(Midshipman) and Queen Picasso (Kingman).

AIt=s hard to put into words what my grandfather meant to me
and those who had the privilege of meeting him. He was a
problem solver and visionary always looking to solve the great
puzzles in the world. He introduced me to racing when I was fiveand I fell in love with the horses, but he fell in love with thechallenge, the challenge of breeding top-class horses withconsistency. We got to share a passion for racing together and it

meant the world to me. I've gotten to speak to many of those
who knew him over these last 24 hours and what was clear is hemade an impact on everyone he spoke to.@Barry Weisbord, founder Thoroughbred Daily News
Last Monday I spent my morning enjoying a scheduled
breakfast conversation at Anthony Manganero=s newly built
home in Saratoga, with just us two. He welcomed me on theporch. We shared bagels and smoked salmon (always great
conversation food), and in that idyllic setting I relished all threehours of our sharing thoughts, as anyone who has had thepleasure of his company would attest. I was not prepared forthat being the last meal we would share.
His family lost Anthony Sunday. The Siena Farm andThoroughbred worlds, the Northeastern University world, and
I=m sure many other worlds share this loss of a very special
person, who was filled with joy, love, energy, intellect andphilanthropy.
He was the most kind and caring a person could be. He wasalso the most interesting, inventive, and forward thinking aperson could be. I=m sure the Dos Equis ad campaign of Athemost interesting man in the world@ was modeled on him, beard
and all. If you wanted to learn about the possible application of
AI technology to our industry, you called Anthony.@

TUESDAY • AUGUST 22, 2023

AHe was always on chapters 4-5-6 when most had not evenheard of the book.
He was about improving everything he had cared about, andabout making the world a better place. He practiced his
philosophy every day.
We spent the morning on a variety of subjects, as one always
did with Anthony. Better organizing our industry especially fromthe Owner/Breeder/Horseman=s perspective, possible newsources of industry revenue utilizing technology, and his
computer research into predictive data in the bloodstock world,
just to name a few. He had an insatiable appetite for learningthat was always on display.
I am so thankful that he was a great friend to me and myfamily. I am so thankful that he enjoyed the Thoroughbredindustry. He was truly irreplaceable. He had shoes impossible tofill. I hope some will join me in honoring his contributions bycarrying on his legacies.

NYRA, STATE WANT DISMISSAL OF'MERITLESS' LAWSUIT TO BLOCK BELMONTRENOVATION
by T.D. Thornton
The New York Racing Association (NYRA) and the state of New
York asked the Supreme Court of New York Aug. 18 to dismiss a
lawsuit filed by two residents that is attempting to block the$455 million state loan to NYRA that will renovate Belmont Park.
In addition, both the state and NYRA want to quash a motion
for preliminary injunction that the plaintiffs initiated back on
June 22 to try to halt any state money for the project fromflowing to NYRA.
The Belmont renovation was approved back in May when the
final New York state budget for fiscal year 2024 included thefunding.
Belmont was last significantly updated in 1968, and thecurrent, long-planned refurbishment is being undertaken withan eye toward consolidating all of NYRA's racing at Belmont andSaratoga Race Course, with the state-owned Aqueduct
Racetrack property to eventually be sold.
"NYRA's motion to dismiss should be granted, the Court should
issue a judgment in favor of Defendants declaring that theBelmont Legislation is constitutional, and the Complaint should
be dismissed in its entirety and with prejudice," stated amemorandum of law that NYRA filed with the court Friday.
"As Plaintiffs claim fails as a matter of law and is not likely to
succeed on the merits, and as the challenged appropriation to
NYRA serves an important public interest and Plaintiffs cannot
establish irreparable harm, or that the equities weigh in theirfavor, Plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction should bedenied," the NYRA filing continued.
The plaintiffs, Jannette Patterson and John Di Leonardo, eachidentified themselves in the initial complaint as a "citizen
taxpayer of the State of New York who has paid, and is paying,
New York State income and sales taxes." They have asked for a
judgment declaring that the state's loan to NYRA "would be an
illegal and unconstitutional expenditure, misappropriation,
misapplication, or disbursement of State funds."
The defendants are the State of New York, the New York State
Assembly, the New York State Senate, Governor Kathy Hochul,state comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, and NYRA. Cont.

NYRA's 30-page memorandum stated that the two plaintiffs"contend that the 'plain language' of the Gift and Loan Clausebars the State from appropriating any funds to NYRA."The Plaintiffs, however, are wrong "for at least two reasons,"
NYRA argued.
"First, Plaintiffs' insistence upon a strict construction of the Giftand Loan Clause betrays an untenable, ostrich-like approach tosettled law. Although one would not know it from Plaintiffs'
papers, the Court of Appeals long ago ruled that the expenditureof public funds to a private entity is permissible under the Giftand Loan Clause if such expenditure serves a public purpose,"the filing continued.
"Moreover, the Court of Appeals and the Third Department
have upheld financing arrangements for the construction andoperation of sports venues and facilities that serve a public
purpose, notwithstanding the co-existence of an incidental
private benefit.@
AThus, the appropriation to NYRA authorized by the Belmont
Legislation cannot be equated to an impermissible gift or loan
under [the New York state constitution.]," the filing stated.
"Second, although at one point in their Complaint Plaintiffs
correctly describe NYRA as a 'not-for-profit corporation that has
the exclusive franchise to operate' Belmont Park, they otherwise
refer to, and analyze, NYRA as though it is a run-of-the-mill'private corporation' for purposes of the Gift and Loan Clause.@
AIn doing so, Plaintiffs yet again fail to reference, or evenacknowledge, case law from both State and federal courts thatuniformly holds that NYRA--as a State-franchisee that operates
racing facilities owned by the State on public property pursuant
to statute and regulation--is a 'state actor,'" the filing continued.
"In this regard, the funds received by NYRA will be used torenovate public property and facilities owned by the State. Put
simply, NYRA--as a 'state actor'--is not the type of 'private
corporation' that the Gift and Loan Clause was intended tocover," the filing stated.
A separate Aug. 18 memorandum filed by the New York
Attorney General's office on behalf of the state government
defendants told the court that "Plaintiffs are not entitled to apreliminary injunction because they cannot make the required
showing of irreparable harm.@APlaintiffs urge the Court to maintain the status quo and halt
the disbursement of funds so that their constitutional argument
may be heard. But Plaintiffs' constitutional argument is meritlessand there is no valid basis for the Court to preliminarily enjoin
the Challenged AppropriationY"

DETERMINISTIC, BY LIAM'S MAP, A RISINGSTAR TO WATCH by Katie Petrunyak

Click here for our visit with new TDN Rising Star Deterministic
Sarah Andrew

The word was out on several 2-year-olds going into a salty
Saratoga maiden race on Aug. 12, but in the end it was
Deterministic, a son of Lane's End Farm's Liam's Map, who
overcame a troubled start to get the win. Trained by Christophe
Clement and owned by the partnership of Vinnie Viola's St. Elias
Stables, Ken Langone, Steven Duncker and Vicarage Stable, thestriking dark bay earned 'TDN Rising Star' honors in his
promising debut.
The colt may have done it the hard way, breaking last in thefield of eight with Joel Rosario aboard, but it was the raw talent
he showed to overcome the poor start that impressed his
conditioner.
ARosario was very aggressive to get him back in the race, which
he did straightaway,@ recalled Clement. AHe was a touch rank
because obviously we asked him to get back into the race andthe signal we gave him was to go on and quicken, but Joel got
him to settle. Then he made a big, sweeping move and he wasable to get there in the end. He was very professional and he got
all of us excited.@ Cont.

Deterministic | Coglianese

Deterministic was a $625,000 Keeneland September purchasefor St. Elias. The operation's Executive Director of Racehorse
Development Monique Delk remembers scouring the sales
grounds for Book 2 yearlings and coming across the youngster,
later describing him as a beautiful-bodied, well-balanced andathletic-looking yearling.
Delk said the Hinkle Farms-bred colt had a strong resemblance
to his sire, who the St. Elias team picked out for $800,000 at thesame auction 10 years earlier.
AI worked for Jimmy Crupi when we purchased Liam's Map for
Mr. and Mrs. Viola,@ Delk recalled. AHe was the same--beautiful,athletic, the whole package. He was special from the get go. I
always look forward to seeing all the Liam's Map babies, havingthat sentimental attachment to him.@
Along with Deterministic sharing a physical resemblance to hissire, Delk quickly noticed similarities in their demeanor.
AThey just exude class and they have that smart look about
them,@ she said. A He took all of his early training with greatease. Everything just came very naturally to him.@
Deterministic made an immediate impression when he arrived
at the Clement barn in Saratoga early this summer.
AHe has always been a very good mover from day one,@ said
Clement. AHe does not look like a 2-year-old. He looks like anolder horse when he is running. He trains like an older horse.
And then when he moves, he's just the most beautiful mover.
He barely touches the ground. He's like a dancer.@
Timing and surface were two considerations Clement gavesome thought to before the colt's debut.
While Deterministic's dam Giulio's Jewel (Speightstown)
earned her three career wins on turf, the Clement teambelieved the colt's forward training and sire power would lead toa strong performance going longer on dirt. They had planned tostart the colt a few weeks earlier in the meet, but pushed back

TUESDAY • AUGUST 22, 2023

his debut out of an abundance of caution when they noticed amild cough one morning just ahead of the race. In the end, theexperience Deterministic collected in the morning while
awaiting his first start paid off on the afternoon of his debut.
AWe worked him in behind horses and he got a bit of kickback
in the morning,@ Clement explained. ABecause we delayed his
first race by three weeks, he probably got a little moreexperience than the normal 2-year-old that we run.@
The Clement team is not ruling out the Sept. 4 GI Hopeful S.,
but they said they are leaning toward pointing the colt to theOct. 7 GI Champagne S.
Also at the Clement barn this summer in Saratoga, theshedrow is home to two more promising Liam's Map progeny.
Roses for Debra is five-for-six since breaking her maiden, mostrecently stepping up to graded stakes company to win the GIII
Caress S. She is entered for Friday's Smart N Fancy S. Silver
Skillet, who was stakes placed on dirt last year, just earned her
first stakes victory last week in the Suzie O'Cain S. stretching out
on turf.
Deterministic is Liam's Map's third Rising Star, along withMGSW Crazy Beautiful and GSP Beau Liam. The winner of the2015 GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile, Liam's Map is a top five leading
fifth-crop sire this year.

BEJARANO'S TRIP TO SPA RESULTS IN
THREE-DAY SUSPENSION
by T.D. Thornton
Rafael Bejarano's trip from Kentucky to New York to ride justone mount Saturday in the GI Alabama S. resulted indisqualification from fifth to sixth and a subsequent three-day
suspension issued Sunday by the Saratoga Race Course stewards
for "careless riding."
The incident involved Bejarano and the 4-1 Taxed (Collected)
swerving inward and cutting off the 5-1 Gambling Girl (Dialed In)
and Irad Ortiz, Jr. about 70 yards into the 10-furlong stakes.
The Equibase chart stated Bejarano's filly "stumbled at thestart recovering inwards a step, raced to the outside ofGambling Girl, and tucked directly in front impeding that rival."
Gambling Girl "bobbled heavily" and "lost two to three lengthsof ground," the chart stated.
Ortiz objected after finishing sixth and the stewards lit theinquiry sign before making the DQ official.
Bejarano opted not to appeal his days, and will serve themAug. 26, 27 and 30.
Riding primarily at Ellis Park this summer, the 41-year-old
Bejarano is currently tied for second in the standings there in
wins. He ranks third in purse earnings.

career, including when he became the first New York-bred to
win the ARun for the Roses@. He was later named the 2003

AFew of us will ever forget Funny Cide's remarkable 2003
season, which helped shine a light on the growing success of the
New York-bred program," said NYRA President & CEO Dave

director of New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc. "Hisconnection to the city of Saratoga Springs extends beyond being
foaled locally at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds andcampaigned by Sackatoga Stable. Residents of the city andracing fans understand the great impact he made on our sport.

Neecie Marie caming flying late to claim the first stakes victoryof her career in the Mrs. Penny S. at Parx Monday. The 2-1 shotbroke a tad awkwardly and was well back in a strung-out field
behind fractions of :23 2/5, and :48 2/5. She steadily improved
her position down the backstretch, made rapid progress on the
far turn and ricocheted into contention with a five-wide moveinto the lane. She powered to the lead inside the final furlong
and pulled away to the wire.
Neecie Marie graduated going six furlongs versus $25,000
maiden claimers at Parx May 8 and switched to the turf to take amile-and-70-yards optional claimer June 7. Well-beaten whensprinting over the Delaware lawn July 12, the bay filly returned
to Parx and the winner=s circle with a 1 3/4-length triumph going
1 1/16 miles last time out July 24.

IN TDN AMERICA TODAYSIENA FARM’S ANTHONY MANGANARO PASSES
A scene from the August Sale at Arqana | Zuzanna Lupa

By Brian Sheerin
Arqana boss Freddy Powell and consignors Guillaume Vitseand Anna Sundstrom have said that they are optimistic that thesales company's return to a V2 format will pay off in spades in
Deauville on Tuesday.
After a helter-skelter August Sale that saw figures risedramatically across the board, including the aggregate by amassive 15% to almost i40m at an average of over i236,000,
the Arqana sales complex took a well-earned pause on Monday
on the eve of the V2 Sale.
Sundstrom reported many breeze-up handlers and Frenchtrainers to have landed at her Coulonces barn while Al
Mohamediya Racing, Al Shaqab and trainer Richard Fahey werealso spotted inspecting the talent on offer.
For Powell, Monday provided the opportunity to reflect on oneof the most successful sales in the recent history of thecompany, before looking forward to V2.
He said, AThe August Sale definitely exceeded our
expectations."

The innovative chairman and co-owner of Siena Farm, whoenjoyed success at the top levels of the racing and breedingbusinesses, passed away at his summer residence in Saratoga on

Arqana, cont. from p1"We were cautious leading up to the sale because you justnever know but obviously we were quietly confident that we
had some nice horses and knew some of the big buyers werecoming and knew that some of the principals were coming as
well.
AThat's always a good sign. We would take this opportunity tothank those people for coming. It's a really good dynamic. For
the past 10 years, the French breeders have invested a lot ofmoney and are operating at a really high level because theyknow they have a good marketplace here in Deauville to sell
their horses. Things are going well and it's fruitful for everyone.@
He added, AThe sale was competitive but not too selective,
which was great. When you see the raise in the median [byi55,000 to i185,000], it means that the quality of the wholegroup of horses has been raised, which is great.@
Arqana is reverting to the V2 style after staging a September
Yearling Sale in 2022 which, by the company=s own highstandards, failed to hit the target in terms of attracting footfall.
There will be no excuses on that front tomorrow judging by theamount of people present for the Monday evening BBQ andPowell says he is confident that the new format will work.
He said, AWe had too many horses last year overall for somereason. The September Yearling Sale is working on the

TUESDAY • 22 AUGUST 2023

racecourse but September is a very busy period on the sales
circuit with Keeneland, Tattersalls Ireland etc. There are plentyof sales at that time and the calendar is full. It is difficult to getpeople to Deauville for August, September and October. It isvery busy this morning and this format is probably the bestformat. We are keen to find a good balance.@
Sundstrom will be hoping to keep the momentum going from amemorable August Sale where she sold 14 horses for over i3m
while Vitse=s Normandie Breeding operation is keen to make hay
with its typically-sharp offering.
Vitse said, AThe August Sale went okay for us. Compared to thebig operations, we did okay and our clients were happy and I
was happy, so that's the main thing. We have a nice bunch for
V2.This is more what we do; precocity and speed. That's what I
like.@He added, AToday has been very busy. We haven't stopped.
We have a nice colt by Calyx (GB), who is doing pretty well, aGolden Horde (Ire, who is a nice filly, a nice Earthlight (Ire) and a
Hello Youmzain (Fr) as well. All four horses are going down well.
AThere was no atmosphere here last year. It didn=t work as
there were no English and Irish buyers here. It was difficult forthem to come because there were so many other sales at thetime and, when there is no atmosphere, it=s not easy. We are
optimistic about tomorrow. I am always optimistic.@ Cont., p4

Arqana, cont.
Sundstrom's bonanza of an August Sale was headed by a
Wootton Bassett colt to Yoshito Yahagi for i1m and she lauded
Arqana for attracting the big players to Deauville which allowed
such a result be possible.
She said, "It was an incredible three days. Going into the sale, I
knew we had a really strong draft but I never thought theywould make that much money. It's unreal. The stars aligned andeverything fell into place.
"The French horse has proved itself as good as any other.
Trainers can travel all over the world and we can sell the Frenchhorse to some of the best people in the world to win Group 1
races."She added, "We have been really busy again today and there
have been a lot of French trainers and breeze-up trainers flying
in today. There are a lot of foreign people here as well.
"We actually showed here on Sunday while a lot of people
were still here. We had our V2 horses here already so we said,'come on, see if there's anything you like.' We have a fabulous
Ten Sovereigns (Ire) filly who should go well tomorrow and anice draft overall so hopefully it goes well."
