The 2013 spring meet begins Thursday at Betfair HollywoodPark, where picking winners is easier than predicting thefuture of the racetrack.
Despite increasing likelihood the 75th anniversary seasonwill be the final spring at Hollywood, racing secretary MartinPanza does not look beyond the current calendar. Is this thelast hurrah for Hollywood?
“It is not for me to say,” Panza said. “Until they tell me we’reclosing, we keep going along. Certainly, there is a lot of chat-ter that way.”
The Hollywood property is slated for future development,and track officials have not stated their intention to conductracing, or training, past the 2013 fall meet that begins inNovember. As for 2014, who knows?

leading Sires in California: January 1 through April 21, 2013
The statistics contained in these rankings are compiled by The Jockey Club Information Systems Inc. (TJCIS). While every effort is made to prevent errors and omissions, California Thoroughbred cannot guarantee their complete and totalaccuracy. A dagger (†) indicates that a stallion has been pensioned, an asterisk (*) that he has died, a dot (•) that he is now standing elsewhere, a number sign (#) that he did not stand in California in 2012 but is standing in the state in 2013,a double dagger (‡) that he is not standing in California in 2013 but will stand in the state in 2014 and in bold that he is a freshman sire. In all cases, a sire will remain in the rankings until the year after his last California foals are two-year-olds. Statistics cover racing in North America (U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico), England, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates only.

The 2012 Northern California Yearling Sale—the ninthpresented by the California Thoroughbred BreedersAssociation (CTBA) in its current format—saw a 50 percentleap in the sale average from the previous year and the high-est since 2006. The 69 hips that sold in 2012 brought grosssales of $528,200, an average of $7,655 and a median price of$4,000.
For more information, please contact Cookie Hackworth,Calif-ornia Thoroughbred Breeders Association SalesCoordinator, at (800) 573-2822 ext. 243 or [email protected]
Since the sale returned under the direction of the CTBA in2004, it has produced stakes winners such as: Bai and Bai, anearner of $724,983; grade II winner Sierra Sunset; and grade IIIwinner Autism Awareness.
The bill would increase border security, provide a path for unau-thorized immigrants to remain in the country and eventuallyapply for citizenship, implement an employment verificationsystem, and improve current and create new temporary guestworker programs. If comprehensive immigration is debated byCongress in the coming months this bill will likely be the basisfor reform.
Comprehensive immigration reform has been a priority of thehorse industry for many years. The difficulty horse farms, horseshows, trainers and others have had recruiting American work-ers has forced many to rely on foreign workers and utilize boththe H-2B and H-2A temporary foreign worker programs to meettheir labor needs. However, the current system is not reliableand is extremely burdensome to use. This bill would overhaulthe U.S. immigration system and has the potential to finally fixsome of the immigration issues facing the horse industry and allof American agricultural.
This bill is very long and complex and would make manychanges concerning border security and all aspects of our cur-rent immigration system. The horse industry is primarily con-cerned with changes to guest worker programs and a path tolegal status for undocumented workers.
Legal Status—The bill would allow undocumented aliens toapply for registered provisional immigrant (RPI) status if theywere here by December 31, 2011, have not been convicted of anyserious crime, pay back taxes, and pay a fine. They can then stayand work in the country. After ten years they could apply for per-manent residence (Green Card), and eventually citizenship, ifthey pay additional fines and fulfill additional requirements.
Undocumented farm workers including those on horse farms would be eligible for a separate agricultural legalizationprogram, referred to as a “blue card,” that includes an acceler-ated five year path to legal permanent resident status if theycontinue to work in the agricultural sector.
These changes would allow any undocumented individualsworking in any capacity or segment of the horse industry to stay and continue working if they can meet the requirements inthe bill.
Temporary Worker Programs—The bill would replace thecurrent H-2A program with a new, temporary agricultural for-eign worker program that should be easier to use than the cur-rent H-2A program. The new program would be administered bythe Department of Agriculture (USDA) as opposed to theDepartment of Labor (DOL), and provide two work visa options :1) a portable, at will employment based visa; and 2) a
contract based visa program. Visas will be good for up to threeyears and could be renewed one time. Currently, H-2A visas areonly good for 10 months. To participate in the program employ-ers must register with USDA and will have to provide housingor housing stipend, pay transportation cost, pay a predeterminedwage and take actions to recruit and ensure U.S. workers are notadversely affected, similar to the current H-2A program.
However, the proposed program should be much less burden-some for employers to use than the current H-2A program.
The bill also includes some reforms to the H-2B temporary,non-agricultural worker program such as an improved wagemethodology. It also would exempt returning workers fromcounting against the 66,000 annual visa cap through 2018.
Additionally, the bill would create a completely new low-skillguest worker program (W- Visa). This program would grant lowskill foreign workers a three-year W-visa to work for Americanemployers in industries that have difficulty finding Americanworkers. The program would have an annual cap of 20,000 visas for the first year; 35,000 the second year; 55,000 the thirdyear and 75,000 the fourth year after which the cap will be cal-culated according to a formula that takes into account severalfactors, like new job openings in the economy and the numberof unemployed US workers. Employers would have to registerfor this program, demonstrate a need and take actions to recruitand ensure U.S. workers are not adversely affected similar toother guest worker programs. Non-agricultural horse industryemployers like trainers, race tracks, and horse shows should beeligible for this program.
Employment Verification—The bill would also require allemployers to use the E-Verify system over a five-year phase-inperiod to make sure all their workers are authorized to work inthe U.S. Employers with more than 5,000 employees will bephased in within two years; those with more than 500 employ-ees three years; all others, including agricultural employers, willbe phased in within four years.
This bill is very complex and is over 800 pages long. TheAHC is in the beginning stages of analyzing the bill and its pos-sible impact on the industry. However, the bill has the poten-tial to make the guest worker programs the horse industry relieson more reliable, less burdensome and less costly. Some of thereforms included in this bill could fix many of the labor issue theindustry has been dealing with for many years.
The AHC will be watching this process closely and workingto make sure any final bill deals with the needs of horse farms,horse shows, trainers and the entire horse industry.

The Jockey Club and the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA) today announced the launch of horseracingreform.org, anadvocacy and information website designed to promote improved regulatory standards for horse racing. The site replaces cleanhorseracing.org.“Over the course of the last year we have seen tangible progress in the area of medication reform — as evidenced by the Mid-Atlantic states’
adoption of a uniform medication policy, the Association of Racing Commissioners International’s approval of a controlled therapeutic medication schedule,and increased movement toward RMTC accreditation of drug-testing labs,” said James L. Gagliano, president and chief operating officer of The Jockey Club.“As the horse racing industry moves toward improved and uniform regulations, horseracingreform.org will provide important benchmark information, such asstate-by-state summaries of medication rules and safety requirements.”
Cleanhorseracing.org, launched in May 2012, featured news, videos, scientific studies and commentary in support of medication-free racing.Horseracingreform.org expands on those features and includes additional information pertaining to:
· The Jockey Club’s Thoroughbred Safety Committee· The regulatory rulings database (thoroughbredrulings.com)· State-by-state summaries of medication rules and safety requirements· Details on TOBA’s medication- and safety-related programs· Ongoing work of the Welfare and Safety of the Racehorse Summit committeesThe state-by-state graphic summary of medication rules and penalties in all racing states provides users with an efficient means to review regulations. Also
included is a timeline charting industrywide medication- and safety-reform initiatives that have been launched since 2006. “The industry has made great strides in reform over the past several years,” said Dan Metzger, president of TOBA. “TOBA is proud to continue its collab-
oration with The Jockey Club, and we are continuously striving to improve the economics, integrity and pleasure of the sport on behalf of owners and breed-ers with initiatives like the Horse Racing Reform website.”
“We have added a great deal of new content and the new name covers a broader scope of activities and more accurately conveys what we are trying toaccomplish,” said Gagliano. “We believe that the objective, factual information on this website will enable visitors to learn more about reform issues and takeaction to encourage change.”——From The Jockey Club

REGION #1:
REGION #2:
REGION #3:
Compared to last week: All classes of hay traded mostly steady to firm in all regions. According the US Drought monitor regions 1-3 continue to be abnormally dry, while regions 4-6 are in a moderate to severe drought. Additionally region 5-6 crop moisture index shows excessively dry in shallow soil profile. Despite some recent rain, snow pack and precipitation are well below seasonal norms. Above average temperatures coupled with strong dry northerly winds
contributed to growing concerns about forage development. Kern and Imperial counties are beginning to realize losses of alfalfa due to aphid infestation. Demand good for all classes of hay on moderate to light trade activity.
All prices reported FOB at the stack or barn unless otherwise noted. Regions are defined at bottom of report.
