Benefits For Horse Industry In Jobs Bill

You Lift Me Up Works The Crowd

Even-money favorite You Lift Me Upled all the way to take the $50,000 Workthe Crowd Handicap for fillies and maresat Golden Gate Fields on March 20.

You Lift Me Up is by Lord Carson,out of the Green Dancer mare Up On Her Toes, was bred by TommyTown Thoroughbreds, is owned by Hol-lendorfer and Todaro and trained by Jerry Hollendorfer.

She has eight wins in 31 starts, earnings of $431,299 and wascoming off a Mar. 1 allowance win.

She ran the 1 1/16 miles in 1:44.64 and won by twolengths. Rule the Storm was second and Croxie third in thefield of six.

Unzip Me Wins Third StraightUnzip Me ran her win streak to

three by holding on for a game vic-tory in the $100,000 Irish O’BrienStakes for California-bred and Cali-fornia-sired fillies and mares at SantaAnita Park on March 20.

Unzip Me is by City Zip, out of theArazi mare Escape with Me, is bred

by Harris Farms & Donald Valpredo, is owned by Harris Farms,Valpredo, Antonsen and Jones and is trained by Marty Jones.

She has five wins in 10 starts, earnings of $219,700 and ranthe 6 ½ furlongs on the downhill turf course in a quick 1:11.91,winning by a head. U R All That I Am was second and A Jeal-ous Woman was third in the field of five.

Stormin Fever Colt Brings $450,000

Congress has passed a second jobs bill, the Hiring Incentives toRestore Employment Act (HIRE Act), which includes an exten-sion of the expensing allowance through 2010 and other provisionsto stimulate employment. President Obama is expected to sign itas soon as he receives it.

Last year Congress passed the Stimulus Bill that included biggerwrite-offs for horses and other property purchased and placed inservice during 2009. But these provisions expired at the end of2009. The new HIRE Act extends one of the benefits, the so-calledSection 179 expense deduction for assets, including horses, pur-chased and placed in service through 2010. The bill does not ex-tend bonus depreciation, which expired at the end of 2009.

The HIRE Act also includes a few other provisions that may im-pact horse owners.

Expensing AllowanceThe Section 179 expense deduction allows an owner who pur-

chases a horse or other business property and places it in service in2010 to expense up to $250,000 of the cost. This applies to horses,

farm equipment and any depreciable property used in a business.Once total purchases of horses and other eligible property reach$800,000, the expense allowance goes down one dollar for eachdollar spent over $800,000.

To illustrate the expensing allowance, assume a horse businesspurchases $750,000 of depreciable property in 2010, including$650,000 for horses. That business can write off $250,000 on its2009 tax return and depreciate the balance. If instead, purchaseswere $900,000, the expense allowance would go down by $100,000.

This provision would benefit any business involved in the horseindustry that purchases and places depreciable property in servicein 2010.

Other ProvisionsThe new legislation also includes provisions to forgive payroll

taxes for hiring unemployed workers and gives a business tax creditof $1,000 for every new employee retained for 52 weeks to be takenon the employer’s 2011 tax return. These provisions are designedto boost employment.—From American Horse Council

A Kentucky-bred colt by California stallion Stormin Feversold for $450,000 at Barretts March Select Sale of 2-Year-Oldson Monday, March 22.

The colt, consigned by John O’Hara, agent, is out of theSiphon mare Rainbow’s End and was purchased by DemiO’Byrne.
