Abbetross Claiming Series Delayed Due to Unsafe Track Conditions at Fraser DownsWinter-like cold weather and snow resulted in the cancellation of two weeks of racing at Fraser Downs Racetrack including two

claiming series races to be postponed. The second leg of the Miss Onager Claiming Series will be held January 27th running as the first two races on the card. The Abbetross Claiming Series Final will be run Friday January 29th. The featured $15,000 Miss Onager Claiming Series Final is scheduled to be run February 3rd resuming its original post positions. Fraser Downs trackman Darcy Perdue had an inkling the weather was taking a troubling turn when the Surrey oval was hit with

snow late during Friday night’s card on January 13th. The $5,000 Miss Onager Claiming Series first division was not interrupted on January 13th and Shes Rarin and Kg Tigress

delivered winning efforts. With Tim Brown in the sulky, Shes Rarin paced the mile in 1:57.1. Keith Clark’s Kg Tigress won by two lengths over pacesetter Red Star Brooklyn, with Scott Knight in the bike, in a final time of 1:57.3.

Hastings Racecourse To Open For Training February 1st40 Stakes Races on Tap with $2.5 Million in Purses Regional GM Raj Mutti, is optimistic about the upcoming Thoroughbred season.

“The increase in attendance and the pari-mutuel handle last year was encouraging,” Mutti said while announcing Opening Day at Hastings Racecourse in 2012 will be Saturday, April 14. The 2012 meet will start with a 10 per cent increase in average overnight daily

purses as well as the starter fee that was introduced in 2011. “Every horse that starts a race and finishes out of the purse money (6th thru last) will receive $300”, Mutti said. The $200,000 BC Derby on Sunday, September 9 will highlight a stakes schedule

that includes 40 premier races with $2.5 million in purse money. Derby Day alone will feature $700,000 in purses with $600,000 of that amount included in six stakes: the prestigious BC Derby, BC Oaks ($100,000), Delta Colleen ($50,000), SW Randall Plate ($50,000), as well as the Jack Diamond Futurity and Sadie Diamond Futurity ($100,000 each). Another “Stakes Day” extravaganza is the traditional BC Cup Day on the August 6th, highlighted by the $75,000 Peter Redekop

Classic. Five other stakes are included on the card, all with $50,000 purses: the BC Cup Debutante, Nursery, Dogwood, Stellar’s Jay and Distaff.

Looking for PhotosHorseRacingBC is looking for old photos of people or horses from the past. Jockeys, trainers and backstretch personnel from BC’s racing history are welcome and will be used in future issues. Each photo will be scanned and returned to it’s owner in the condition it is received. No win-photos please.

BC Premiers Upgraded to Grade 3 statusThe $100,000 Added BC Premiers Championship for 3-year-olds and

up has been upgraded to Grade 3 status for 2012. Upgrading the Premiers means the 2012 season at Hastings will have a total of three graded races. The $200,000 BC Derby, to be run September 9th and the $100,000 Ballerina to be run October 8th also have Grade 3 status.“We’re very excited to have the Premiers back as a Grade 3 race. The quality

of the horses in the race each year shows it deserves to be a Grade 3,” said Hastings GM Raj Mutti.The 1 3/8 miles race, to be held October 8th this year has been won some

of the best BC bred horses since its inception in 1962 including Canadian Horse of the Year True Metropolitan, Artic Son, and Travelling Victor.

Standardbred handle up in Canada in 2011 Despite external pressures and signifi cantly fewer race days, the amount

wagered on Canadian harness racing in 2011 exceeded its 2010 total.While horse racing – thoroughbred, quarter horse and harness – has long

reported declines in total wagering, the Canadian product is the exception to that rule. According to Standardbred Canada data, the total amount wagered on Canadian harness racing for 2011 came in at more than $440 million, up 0.64 percent (or roughly $2.7 million) from the 2010 total of $437.3 million. The amount bet per race also showed gains, up nearly nine percent from the prior year. Source:Standardbred Canada

Remembering… Al AndersonAlan Jeffrey Anderson, 48, of

Willows, California left this world on December 26, 2011 in Mesa, Arizona. Alan fought a heroic battle with cancer. A battle of strength and courage, a warrior to the end. Alan’s unfailing wit, humor, and positive attitude were ever present and enjoyed by all who knew him. Born in Pomona, California to Dale and Sandra Anderson, Alan is survived by the love of his life Wendy Weinrich; his cherished children, Gena 22 and Jonny 14; his mother; Sandra; his fi ve brothers, Jon, Kevin, Mark, Dana, and Drew; and his sisters, Sonia and Renee. Alan is preceded in death by his father Dale Anderson. Alan had a great love of his race horses, and was a harness horse trainer for most of his life. Alan will be greatly missed by countless friends and family who were blessed to know him. A private family gathering will be held in memory of Alan Jeffery Anderson.

Owner-Breeder Terry Black PassesTeresa Ann Maria Black was a long-time breeder and owner from Oliver,

B.C. where she lived with her husband Doug at Rumor Creek Farm. The Blacks’ bred B.C. Derby winner Kruisin Kat. Having lived a full and exceptional life, Terry passed away on Saturday,

January 14, peacefully at home with family by her side, after a long fi ght with cancer. Born October 28, 1942, Ann Maria O’Hanlon, adopted by Elsie and Michael Moore, Terry lived in England with her brother John Moore until age 8. After immigrating to Canada, she grew up in Alberta and moved to Kelowna as an adult. Family was most important to Terry. She traced her roots back to her birth mother, discovering a clutch of siblings who welcomed her with open arms. She nurtured her family tree, supporting her children and cheering her grandchildren in their pursuits. Whether on the soccer pitch, at the rink, or grandparents’ day, Terry was there. She leaves behind the family she loved, Douglas Black, her husband of 28 years, son Grant Johnson, daughter Sharlene (John) Sherring, Gordon (Sarah) Black, Ian (Michelle) Black, daughter-in-law Holly, grandchildren Joel and Dallace, Andrew and Oliver, Cason, Harris and Hadley, Cameron and Darcy. She leaves her brother John Moore of Victoria and siblings in England and New Zealand, Bern, Dee, Lynne, John and Angie, and her many friends near and far. Terry loved to travel and one of her happiest experiences was as a volunteer at the Vancouver Olympics. She also loved her home where her quiet compassion and patience marked her lifelong passion for horses and breeding. Terry enjoyed each aspect of breeding, and was particularly proud of her success as breeder of a BC Derby Winner. Terry worked hard, lived life on her own terms, and was as quick with her smile as she was “calling a spade a spade”. Terry will be missed in our days, but her spirit will remain with us.

Racing News


As one walks through the backstretch of Fra-ser Downs, barn E is quickly in your sights. Much like all the barns

in the backstretch, barn E is filled with many stables with trainer’s names above their tack rooms. Each barn houses 90 Standard-breds and numerous tack rooms. The Cooper Stable is

at the south end of the barn and easily stands out because of the bright purple colors’ and the meticulously clean equipment and shedrow that are syn-onymous with trainer Ann Cooper. Her infec-tious laugh and broad smile are there every

morning to greet you. There are approxi-

mately a dozen li-censed female trainers this season at Fraser Downs, which is a high number considering the fact that when Cooper began at Fraser Downs (then named Clover-dale Racetrack) she was only one of a handful of females at the Stan-dardbred track. “It’s not a woman’s in-

dustry, but more women are here now than when I first walked in,” she said. Cooper is truly one of the pioneers for women in the industry. Born in London, Eng-

land just over 40 years ago, at the age of 4, Cooper along with her

parents and siblings moved to Canada. “We first lived in To-

ronto, then Alberta be-fore finally settling in B.C. But my father was always interested in traveling around,” re-members Cooper. By the age of 12,

Cooper and her family moved to the rural com-munity of White Rock.This is when she

would first grace her seat upon a saddle and ride her first horse. “I knew nothing about horses but there was an Appaloosa boarding in our backyard. When the owner wanted me to feed him at night, well that’s when I began to ride him,” she said. Cooper continued to

ride and by age 18 had become a confident rid-er along with accumu-lating enough ribbons to cover the walls. Her face starts to glow

and her smile widens as she recalls her days jumping on horseback. “Oh I had ribbons, lots of ribbons and I did do jumping but it was more fun when my friend and I would go down to the beach and ride in the water. We had a blast,” she said. A ROAD TO THE

FUTUREA favour for a friend,

when Cooper was still 18, would not only gain her employment, but would send her down a

path that would shape her life forever. “My friend phoned me

and asked if I would fill in for her at her job at Cloverdale Racetrack and I’ve been here ever since,” she said grin-ning from ear to ear. Her first job was with

the late, Jim Richards, whom Cooper speaks of in high regard. “He was great. But he

only had a few horses so he lined me up an-other job with trainer Eddie Stewart,” she recalled. This is the trainer Cooper credits with teaching her the art of horsemanship and racing Standard-breds. “Eddie taught me everything. He was so professional and he ran a first class outfit,” she said. The Stewart Stable’s

main colours were purple and that is why Cooper incorporated the colour for her stable. Before long she was

busy jogging the horses for Stewart’s stable. “Eddie had no reserva-tions about me jogging. I remember the first horse I jogged and his name was Mr. Cola and he was a big black stal-lion, but I had experi-ence and Eddie knew that,” she recalled. Her first time on the jogger with a 1200 pound Stan-dardbred still makes her eyes widen along with excitement in her

voice. “Oh it was fun. It was actually a great feeling,” she said. THE PIONEER-

ING SPIRIT SHINES THROUGHBy age 26, Cooper

had been working for a few trainers and had a couple of her own horses racing. It was time for her to make a decision. Most of the trainers

were men in the indus-try but to advance in her field she would have to become a trainer. After applying for and

receiving her trainer’s license, Cooper could now do what she had been learning to do for so many years. “Ac-tually it wasn’t long after I had my license when a fellow ap-proached me and asked me if I wanted to train his horse, so I did. I re-member because I did make a bit of money,” she recalled. As the seasons came

and went, Cooper con-tinued to work hard, day in and day out. As she gained more horses and clients to train, her hard work finally paid off. “I guess one of my

best seasons was when I finished third in the

standings. That was a good season.” As the win pictures

started covering wall space in her tack room, Cooper managed along the way to have two daughters. “My oldest Rebecca use to come and help me at the barn, but since she finished school now, she has a job in retail and ab-solutely loves it. My youngest, Tiara, (10 years old) comes down here to the barn on weekends and she ab-solutely loves the hors-es. I’m really proud of both of them,” she said smiling as only a proud mom can smile.This season Cooper

has 7 horses and is opti-mistic about the future. “I have really good

owners and that makes the season a lot more enjoyable.”She confirmed her

thoughts on training re-main the same since she first got her license.“We don’t get too at-

tached to the horses and keep them classi-fied where they have a chance to win. That is the key and if I can do that I’ll keep improv-ing and that’s really all I can ask for,” she said with her broad smile.

One of the most likable horsemen on the backstretch at Fraser Downs JF (Jean Francois) Gagne has settled in nicely for the 2012 racing season. JF started his driving career at Trois Rivieres, Quebec in 1994. The native of Joliette, PQ moved west four years later to race in Alberta and came to Fraser Downs later that year to drive in a stakes race. He returned to BC for a six week stint in the spring of 2011.“I like it here.” he says. “Especially when the track is good. The money is good and the people are enthusiastic about

racing.Gagne has fourteen horses in training at the Cloverdale, BC track this year with more, including broodmares, yearlings

and a stud (Tajma Hall), on his quarter section outside Wetaskiwin, Alberta.Gagne celebrated New Year’s Day at

Fraser Downs with four wins from five drives including the career milestone 1000th win. Ironically he achieved the career mark behind his homebred pacing

mare Queens Heritaj, who was sired by Tajma Hall a horse Gagne piloted to his 500th winning drive. The five-year-old filly, who is trained by Marjorie Dumont, paced the mile

in a winning time of 1:56 flat.Gagne started the New Year winning both ends of the early Daily Double

with a win in the Abbetross Claiming Series behind Tre Bien trained by Justin Currie and the second half piloting his own maiden three-year-old Lightemup, also trained by Dumont. He got started on his next thousand wins later in the evening with another victory for Dumont behind his veteran pacer Rehearsal Hall.Gagne’s four wins from five drives on the card give him a .800 driving

average to start the 2012 season. With more than six million dollars in purses over the course of his career. He won 28 races and earned over $215,000 of his bankroll last season.

In the last several years the field of equine lame-ness and orthopaedics has been revolution-ized by unprecedented advances. From the refinement and intro-duction of diagnostic imaging such as digital radiology and magnetic

resonance to the development of new therapeutic alternatives to deal with lameness issues. In an era of information overload it is no wonder that so many advancements may leave you dazzled and confused. The following is a summary with “take-home” messages and ideas that will help you to understand better the new treatment modalities available to your horse. IRAP (Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist Protein)

is an anti-inflammatory protein that counteracts the destructive effects of inflammatory proteins such as Interleukin-1 (IL-1) within the inflamed joint. Levels of IRAP and other anti-inflammatory pro-teins in the blood can be increased and produced for joint injection by incubating a 50ml sample of blood from your horse for 24 hours in a spe-cial syringe. The syringe contains a substance to enhance production of anti-inflammatory proteins including IRAP. The syringe must be incubated overnight at 37°C. After 24 hours, the syringe is centrifuged, and the serum collected. The amount of serum collected from each 50ml syringe of blood is usually between 20-25ml. This yields 5-6 doses of IRAP, but the number of doses avail-able for use from each collection is dependent on the specific joint. Once the serum has been harvested, it is filtered

and then frozen in single dose aliquots (small doses). Indications for use of IRAP in the joint include horses with a well-defined synovitis/capsulitis, particularly those horses that do not respond well to conventional anti-inflammatory joint medication and horses that have had arthroscopic surgery and have been found to have focal cartilage diseases. IRAP is NOT recommended for use in tendon sheaths or bursae, in joints where there are bone fragments, fractures, meniscal or ligamentous injury unless it has been successfully treated arthroscopically, in bone cysts, or in horses with advanced osteoarthritis IRAP is NOT recommended for use in tendon sheaths or bursae, in joints where there are bone fragments, fractures, meniscal or ligamentous injury unless it has been successfully treated arthroscopically, in bone cysts, or in horses with advanced osteoarthritis due to its low success rate. In general 2-3 treatments of the joint are performed, at 8-14 day intervals. The volume injected at each treatment is 1-8ml, depending on the joint. First injection after surgery may be given at 7 days. After injection, we routinely bandage the joint if possible for 2 days, and the horse should be kept on 3 days of strict stall rest, followed by 10 days of hand-walking (30-45 minutes). Once the course of injections and the final hand-walking period

is completed, horses should receive one week of ridden walk exercise, followed by one week of ridden walk and trot, before returning gradually to regular training programs. The instructions above may vary, depending on the primary joint disease. Tildren- Whatever the age of the horse, the skeletal

bone tissue is constantly renewed. This continuous remodeling of the bone tissue is a normal process: not only does it allow "new bone" to be produced throughout the horse's life, but it also allows the skeletal structure to adapt to specific mechanical stresses, associated for example with the sporting activities in which the horse takes part.The bone renewal process sometimes goes too

far. Due to intense work performed by the horse, or excessive mechanical stresses on a bone or joint, bony areas that are "working too hard" display an excessive remodeling. Such excessive remodeling of the bone tissue occurs in a large proportion of the locomotor conditions from which our horses suffer, in particular in most degenerative osteoarticular conditions. Furthermore, it is this very bone remodeling that will cause the pain that leads to lameness. There are two types of cells constantly working

together to create ‘new’ bone tissue and to remove old one: I. Osteoclasts – ‘bone nibblers’. These cause

bone breakdown, which involves the digestion of bone microscopic level. These cells become activated if ‘new space’ needs to be created so that an adjustment of bone density can occur in response to mechanical stresses on the joints. II. Osteoblasts – ‘bone formers’. These produce

collagen the basic material used in bone formation. They trigger collagen mineralization and create denser bone. However they work much more slowly than osteoclasts. ‘Tildren’ is composed of Tiludronic acid, a

bisphosphonate which inhibits bone resorption in horses. It aids in the treatment of lameness associated with arthritis in bone spavin, navicular disease or bone pain. It works best in cases existing less than 6 months. Tildren works by regulating bone tissue remodeling in cases where there is too much bone resorption. It helps to activate the osteoblasts and reduce the work of the osteoclasts (bone nibblers). It has anti-inflammatory effects on arthritis, by inhibiting the secretion of cartilage resorbing enzymes. Extra-corporeal shock wave therapy-ESWT is

non-invasive, used to stimulate healing to return horses to a level of fully sound, useful activity without recurrence of disease. This treatment modality is used for a variety of soft tissue (i.e. bowed tendons, suspensory ligament desmitis, sore backs, etc...), bone (i.e. fractures, sesamoiditis, buck shins, navicular disease or heel pain) and joint (I.e spavin, osselets, arthritis) injuries. From outside the body (extracorporeal), the machine generates high-intensity shock or pressure waves, which pulse to a specific site within the injured tissue. Though its actual mode of action is still in dispute, it stimulates and accelerates the healing

process, essentially combining an immediate analgesic (pain killing) effect with a reduction in inflammation, neovascularization (new blood vessels) in soft tissue and osteogenesis (new bone formation) in bone. It is this new blood flow that promotes tissue healing. Electrical energy is used to initiate the pressure wave. The energy settings and the number of pulses are important. Too low energy or too few pulses might not create the desired therapeutic effect. Excessive energy or pulses may result in tendon damage. The pressure waves penetrate fluid and soft tissue, and their effects occur at sites at the bone/soft tissue interface. Pressure waves might help physically break down or move a hematoma or fluid from the lesion to allow the fibroblasts to more rapidly fill the defect. According to some research, ESWT is an effective method of decreasing clinical signs of lameness associated with osteoarthritis. In a study comparing horses treated with phenylbutazone (“bute”), ESWT performed better, promoting improvement in clinical lameness and increased synovial fluid total protein. ESWT treatment reduced the clinical signs of

pain measured by lameness evaluation 42 days after the final treatment. The results of the study suggested that ESWT is an effective method of reducing clinical lameness and synovitis, but it does not improve progression of arthritis significantly; thus, it would be best considered in combination with a chondroprotective agent. The handheld wand of the unit attaches to an energy source. For the simplest shock wave procedure, the horse is lightly sedated; the area to be treated is shaved to provide for good contact; a contact gel is placed on the horse's skin, and the hand unit is applied to the horse to deliver the shock wave pulses. The treatment takes minutes. The horse does not experience pain. Sedation is recommended so the horse remains still so the treatment is applied accurately, targeted to the specific treatment location, and if fractious, the veterinarian is protected. Among possible concerns of ESWT for horses

is potential local analgesia (pain killing) after treatment, and for bone micro-lesions, micro-fractures. Some studies have found slight skin analgesia for three to five days, but no bone lesions have been produced. Data indicates that a horse should not be subjected to strenuous activities where local analgesia pre-disposes the horse to injury for at least four days after ESWT.
