$144.3 Million Wagered 

On Breeders’ Cup Races 

Breeders’ Cup reported that a total of nearly $144.3 

million was wagered on the two-day World 

Championships November 2-3 at Santa Anita Park, 

down from the $161.5 million figure a year ago when 

the event was hosted by Churchill Downs. 

Also, the two-day attendance of 89,742 represented 

a decline from the 105,820 on hand at 

Churchill in 2011. 

Wagering on the 12-race November 3 card was 

$96,685,567, compared with 2011 handle of 

$105,472,442 for the second day of the World 

Championships. 

On-track handle for the two days at Santa Anita 

Park was $20,680,143, up slightly over the 

$19,208,111 total for the 2009 event at Santa 

Anita, the last time the Championships were held at 

at Southern California racetrack. 

“We were witness to two days of amazing athletic 

performances by the world’s best Thoroughbreds 

with winners from the East, Midwest, South 

America, Europe and California and seven winners 

this weekend from our Breeders’ Cup Challenge 

series,” said Breeders’ Cup president and CEO Craig 

Fravel in a statement.—continued at www.Bloodhorse.com,

www.ctba.com CALIFORNIA THOROUGHBRED WEEKLY • November 7, 2012 5

Weekly Update 

White Horse Award To Late Remington Worker 

A 24-year-old Remington Park maintenance department employee who 

died as a result of injuries sustained in an accident in March was honored 

posthumously November 1 with the White Horse Award from the Race Track 

Chaplaincy of America. 

The sequence of events that led to the death of Michael C. Priddy began 

when the Quarter Horse Jimi Jive unseated his rider and ran up the chute. A 

strapping seven-footer who had been a committed employee at the Oklahoma 

City, Oklahoma, track since April 2011, Priddy sprang into action. 

In an effort to keep the gelding from leaving the track, Priddy moved 

quickly to close a gate left open when the maintenance tractors entered the track. Before 

Priddy could complete his task, Jimi Jive rammed the gate, slamming into Priddy’s body and 

seriously injuring the worker. Despite several hours of surgery, Priddy died March 4. 

“All at Remington Park were heart-broken—not just to have lost a team member, but 

because of the kind of team member he was,” a testimonial to Priddy in the White Horse 

Awards program stated. “He was a loyal, hard-working young man who was very proud of his 

job. His pride showed in the way he did his job.”—continued at www.Bloodhorse.com, By Ron Mitchell, 

Gulfstream Serious About Breeders’ Cup Bid 

Gulfstream Park could make a serious bid to host a future Breeders’ Cup World 

Championships, officials confirmed November 2. 

Officials with The Stronach Group have been in regular contact with Breeders’ Cup officials 

to determine what would be required of the South Florida racetrack. Gulfstream obviously 

would require major expansion, but The Stronach Group already has those plans in 

place. 

Gulfstream president Tim Ritvo said owner Frank Stronach plans a “major build-out” on 

the property, including two hotels and seating that could accommodate up to 65,000 people. 

Major construction would begin after the Gulfstream meet ends in early April 2013.

Yavapai Downs: Bankruptcy 

Court approves Sale Of Track 

To HBPA President 

A bankruptcy court on Tuesday approved the sale 

of Yavapai Downs for $5.5 million to Gary Miller, 

the president of the state’s Horsemen’s Benevolent 

and Protective Association. 

The approval clears the way for the possibility 

that the Prescott, Arizona, track will reopen for a 

summer season next year. The track closed abruptly 

just prior to the 2011 racing season, and its owner, 

the Yavapai County Farm and Agriculture 

Association, then filed for bankruptcy.—continued at

Mike Smith Wins 

Bill Shoemaker Award 

Powered by victories 

on Royal Delta in the 

Breeders’ Cup Ladies’ 

Classic (grade I) and 

Mizdirection in the 

Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint 

(grade I), Hall of Fame 

rider Mike Smith has won 

the Bill Shoemaker Award as the outstanding 

jockey of the 29th Breeders’ Cup World 

Championships, held Friday and Saturday, 

November 2-3, at Santa Anita Park. 

This is the first Shoemaker Award for 

Smith, who became the all-time winner in 

Breeders’ Cup victories by a jockey on 

Friday, when he notched his 16th win, 

breaking the tie for most victories he held 

with retired Hall of Famer Jerry Bailey. 

Smith increased his win total to 17 when he 

guided home 7-1 Mizdirection on Saturday. 

The 47-year-old Smith, from Roswell, New 

Mexico, also picked up a second-place finish 

on Mucho Macho Man in the Breeders’ Cup 

Classic (grade I) and a third-place finish on 

Atigun in Friday’s Marathon (grade II). 

Smith’s 28 total points bested Garrett Gomez, 

a four-time Shoemaker Award winner, by 

two points in a 10-5-3-1 scoring system 

based on first through fourth-place finishes.

California-Bred Flashback 

Windy Triple K. 

On November 5, 1988, Windy Triple K., a daughter of Jaklin Klugman, won the $48,000 Taisez Vous Stakes for threeyear-old 

fillies at Santa Anita Park, with Irish Lord’s Miss second and Prankstress third in a field of five. Windy Triple K. 

was trained by Mel Stute and ridden by Patrick Valenzuela. She ran the seven furlongs in 1:24 on a sloppy track and won 

by 1 1/4 lengths at odds of 8-1. Windy Triple K. was the first of 11 foals out of the remarkably productive Master Derby 

mare Doff the Derby, who also produced European stakes winners Evening Bouquet, Generous, Osumi Tycoon, 

Strawberry Roan and Imagine. The Taisez Vous was Windy Triple K.’s fourth win in 26 starts. She placed in four other 

stakes and finished her career with five wins in 49 starts and earnings of $212,565. Windy Triple K. was bred by Racing 

Associates, was foaled at Riverside Thoroughbred Farm and owned by Cardona, Davis and Stute. She was a $27,000 purchase 

at the CTBA Del Mar Yearling Sale.

investment incentives for 

you in 2012! 

Investment incentives continue in 2012 for the horse industry, making it another attractive year to invest in horses, farm 

equipment and other qualified depreciable property. 

1. 50% BONUS DEPRECIATION – Substantial write-offs on new property! 

• For new property purchases; the original use of the property must commence with the taxpayer 

• Examples of qualifying property include yearlings and new tractors/farm equipment 

• Qualifying property must be purchased and placed in service before 1/1/2013 

• The full 50% bonus depreciation write-off is allowed regardless of when during 2012 the qualifying property is 

purchased and placed in service 

• Bonus depreciation expires in 2013 

• Can be used in conjunction with the expense allowance 

2. $125,000 EXPENSE ALLOWANCE – Write off up to $125,000 in used property! 

• The expense allowance is $125,000 

• To qualify, property may be new or used 

• Qualifying property must be purchased and placed in service before 1/1/2013 

• Can only be used to reduce taxable income derived from the horse business or any other business from which 

taxpayer has income, including salaries 

• The expense allowance is reduced dollar for dollar once qualified investments exceed $500,000 

• Can be used in conjunction with bonus depreciation

Investment incentives are scheduled to change in 2013. 

TAX BENEFIT 2012 2013 

Bonus Depreciation Rate 50% n/a 

Expensing 

- Allowance $125,000 $25,000 

- Phase-out level $500,000 $200,000 

Additional information 

• The expense allowance and bonus depreciation can be used together—they are not mutually 

exclusive 

• How do the benefits apply for bloodstock purchases? 

– Yearlings – bonus depreciation and expense allowance 

– Two-year-olds in training – possibly both (consult your tax advisor) 

– Pregnant broodmares – expense allowance 

– Barren broodmares – possibly expense allowance (consult your tax advisor) 

– Weanlings – neither because too young to be “placed in service” in horse business 

• How do the benefits apply for farm equipment and other essentials? 

– New tractors or other farm heavy equipment and new farm facilities (barns, sheds, fences and 

associated construction costs) – combine benefits 

– Used tractors or other farm heavy equipment – expense allowance 

Don’t forget about accelerated depreciation! 

Through 2013, taxpayers will be able to depreciate 

all racehorses on a 3-year schedule. During 

this time, taxpayers may use the accelerated 

depreciation schedule on any remaining 

balance that is not written off when taking 

the tax benefits described above.

Thoroughbred Racing Association as a courtesy to the 

racing industry. For more information, please consult 

your tax advisor or visit www.IRS.gov.

2012 INVESTMENT INCENTIVES 

EXAMPLES 

50% BONUS DEPRECIATION – Applies to new qualified depreciable property that is purchased 

and placed in service in 2012. 

Example: An individual purchases five yearlings for $500,000 and a new tractor for $50,000 in 

2012 and places the yearlings in training and uses the tractor in 2012. The purchaser can write off 

(depreciate) half of the cost of each on his or her 2012 tax return. 

$500,000 yearlings 

$50,000 new tractor 

TOTAL qualified purchases = $550,000 x .50 bonus depreciation = $275,000 write-off 

$125,000 EXPENSE ALLOWANCE – Applies to new or used qualified depreciable property that is 

purchased and placed in service in 2012 ($500,000 investment threshold applies). 

Example A: An individual purchases a $100,000 broodmare and a $25,000 tractor in 2012 and places 

both in service in 2012. The purchaser makes no other qualifying purchases of horses or other 

business property during the year. The individual can expense (write off) the entire $125,000 cost 

of the broodmare and tractor in 2012. 

$100,000 broodmare 

$25,000 tractor 

TOTAL qualified purchases = $125,000; minus $125,000 expense allowance = $0 balance 

Example B: An individual purchases three broodmares for $500,000 and a $25,000 tractor in 2012 

and places all of this property in service in 2012. The purchaser makes no other qualifying purchases 

of horses or other business property during the year. If purchases exceed the $500,000 investment 

threshold, the expense allowance is reduced by $1 for every dollar over $500,000 in qualifying 

property. In this case, purchases total $525,000 and the expense allowance drops to $100,000. 

$500,000 broodmares 

$25,000 tractor 

TOTAL qualified purchases = $525,000; minus $500,000 threshold = $25,000 excessive investment; 

$125,000 expense allowance minus $25,000 excessive investment = $100,000 expense allowance 

permitted in Example B. The remaining balance ($525,000 in qualified purchases minus $100,000 

expense allowance = $425,000) would be depreciated using normal depreciation rules. 

50% BONUS DEPRECIATION & $125,000 EXPENSE ALLOWANCE USED TOGETHER – 

These two incentives are not mutually exclusive and may be used together in some cases. 

Example: An individual purchases a yearling for $300,000 in 2012 and places it in service in 2012. The 

purchases can expense $125,000 and also take 50% bonus depreciation. The remaining balance would 

be depreciated using normal depreciation rules. 

$300,000 yearling 

TOTAL qualified purchases = $300,000; minus $125,000 expense allowance = $175,000; minus 

50% bonus depreciation ($175,000 x .50) = $87,500; total write-off = $212,500 ($125,000 expense 

allowance + $87,500 bonus depreciation). The remaining $87,500 balance ($300,000 yearling 

purchase minus $212,500 write-off) would be depreciated using regular depreciation rules.

I. A $17,500 bonus will be made available for owners of registered California-Bred or Sired maidens 

in Maiden Special Weight races at the Santa Anita Park, Betfair Hollywood Park and 

Del Mar meetings in Southern California; and a $10,000 bonus for owners of registered California- 

Bred or Sired maidens in Maiden Special Weight races in Northern California and at all Fair meetings 

throughout the state. Only races at 4 1/2-furlongs or longer will qualify. 

*Paid directly to owner in approximately 45 racing days. 

II. Significant eligibility changes for California-breds.
