‘We Are NY Horse Racing’ Launches in New York

“We Are NY Horse Racing,” a coalition of small businesses, unions, non-profits, and trade organizations designed to educate New Yorkers about the importance of horse racing to the state's economy, has launched and gained statewide support. According to a 2018 published study by the American Horse Council, horse racing in New York State is responsible for 19,000 jobs and more than $3 billion in annual economic impact. The broader equine industry is New York's second-largest agribusiness and the sport of horse racing sustains hundreds of small businesses on and around the 11 racetracks currently in operation in the state.

Events, paid media and other efforts directly related to educating New Yorkers about the importance of horse racing are on the slate for We Are NY Horse Racing. For more information, visit nyhorseracing.com.

Deadly Virus Found In New York Mosquitoes

Aerial spraying of Oswego County, New York, has begun after Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) was found in the county's mosquito populations.

EEE is a rare virus spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes, not just for horses, but for humans as well. The virus can cause brain swelling and is often fatal. The New York Department of Health reported EEE as an “imminent threat to public health.”

Between two and five people die from EEE in the United States each year, report the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. In 2019, 19 people died from EEE.

Aerial pesticide spraying is a temporary measure to combat EEE and residents should remain diligent in their efforts to reduce exposure to mosquitoes.

Orlando Noda Fined $5,000 ‘For Action Detrimental To The Best Interest Of Racing’

New York stewards have fined trainer Orlando Noda $5,000 “for action detrimental to the best interest of racing,” reports the Daily Racing Form.

While neither Noda nor commission steward Braulio Baeza would comment on the fine, the DRF report indicates sources that saw Noda “being overly aggressive on a horse that he was exercising ontrack during a recent morning in Saratoga.”

Noda plans to appeal the penalty with the help of attorney Drew Mollica.

Mollica told DRF: “Mr. Noda vehemently denies any behavior that warrants this kind of fine.”

Combatant Retired To Rockridge Stud In New York For 2022 Season

Grade 1 Santa Anita Handicap winner Combatant (Scat Daddy – Border Dispute by Boundary) has been retired and will stand at Rockridge Stud in Hudson, N.Y., beginning with the 2022 breeding season.

The Hronis Racing color-bearer was sold to Brian Levings of Levings Racing in a deal brokered by Matt Bowling of Bowling Bloodstock, Colt Pike, and David Ingordo.

“I've had fun on the racing side and decided to dip a toe in the stallion market,” Levings said. “New York has a strong program and has shown that stallions from the Empire State can have a bright future.”

“A Grade 1 winning son of Scat Daddy is a great complement to the New York stallion market and a perfect fit for our program,” says Rockridge's Lere Visagie.

Combatant is currently being syndicated and will stand for $7,500 LFSN his first year. The stallion will remain in Kentucky through the end of the Keeneland September Sale for any Kentucky breeders interested in the New York program.
