First Foal Arrives in NY for MGISP Solomini
McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds announced the arrival of the first foal from the first crop of MGISP Solomini (Curlin–Surf Song, by Storm Cat). The filly, out of track record setter and stakes placed Another Level (Emcee), arrived at Hidden Lake Farm in Stillwater, New York, Jan. 15. The mare's first foal is from the immediate family of Grade I-winning millionaire Octave (Unbridled's Song), winner of the GI Coaching Club American Oaks S. and GI Mother Goose S.
“Solomini's first foal out of Another Level is a lovely filly with a lot of body and very nice frame,” said Chris Bernard of Hidden Lake Farm. “3C Stables and Hidden Lake Farm bred 20 mares to Solomini and are committed to his success.”
Solomini, who finished runner up in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile and GI Front Runner S. in 2017, crossed the wire in first in the GI Los Alamitos Futurity only to be demoted to third via DQ. He also hit the board in a trio of starts at three, including the GI Arkansas Derby.
The chestnut, who covered 123 mares standing at McMahon of Saratoga Thoroughbreds lasat season, will stand the 2021 season for $5,000, live foal.

Iowa HBPA’s Moss Wants To Stop Recently Signed HISA Law From Being Implemented
The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act, signed into law on Dec. 27, 2020, has been billed as the impetus for significant changes in the United States horse racing industry. The Iowa Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association executive director Jon Moss isn't sure that's a good thing, according to radioiowa.com.
“This new group that is being formed is unchecked in how much they can charge us as the state of Iowa in order to actually regulate the racing industry within the state,” Moss told radioiowa.com. “There's going to be a reckoning coming — we're going to be in a tough position. We may reach out and request something of your assistance to try and help stop this from being implemented.”
By law, the latest HISA can go into effect is July 1, 2022. The previously formed nominating committee is in the process of selecting the nine members who will comprise the Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (five independent members from outside of the horse industry, four from within the industry but without current investments or conflicts of interest). The Authority has been charged with contracting with the United States Anti-Doping Agency to oversee the anti-doping/medication control program on a national basis.
Two working committees also will be named. For more information on what comes next, read answers to frequently asked questions, as supplied by Marc Summers, vice president and general counsel for The Jockey Club, which helped steer the legislation through Congress.
