The Equine Biosecurity Risk Calculator allows horse owners to calculate the associated risk with their current management practices. Biosecurity involves management practices that reduce the chances that infectious disease will be carried onto the farm by animals or people, and reduces the spread of infectious disease on farms. The Equine Biosecurity Risk Calculator considers factors that increase the risk of spreading infec- tious disease against factors that decrease that risk on an individual farm.

The online resource will give horse owners
a great starting point by showing the potential risks currently present on their farm and the most practical ways to decrease that risk. The Equine Biosecurity Risk Calculator will assist horse owners and caregivers to assess and possibly improve conditions on their farm for health and well-being of both them and their horses.

Dettori’s Whip Toss Under Review
Frankie Detorri tosses whip in celebration after BC Classic win
group with its 49,164 combined victory while increasing the number of total mounts by eight to 261,854.
According the Thoroughbred Time’s online Today, Jockey Frankie Dettori’s post-race actions following his win aboard Raven’s Pass in the Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1) are under review by track stewards working the Oak Tree at Santa Anita Park meeting, who could ne or suspend the European rider for throwing his whip in celebration.
It was the 6,450 win of Hawley’s illustrious career.
Dettori tossed his whip high into the air shortly after Raven’s Pass crossed the nish line.
A native of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, Hawley rode for 31 years until his retirement on July 1, 1998.
The ne could be the second for Dettori, who was ned $500 on Saturday for failing to ful ll his riding engage- ments in the ninth race on the card. Dettori was scheduled to ride Master Daniel in the Damascus Stakes but booked off despite Stewards delaying the race for Detorri to participate in the trophy presentations and celebrations after the Classic. Tyler Baze picked up the mount aboard Master Daniel and nished ninth.
After apprenticing in Canada with 230 winners in 1969, he moved to the U.S. where he led all jockeys in victories in 1970, 1972, 1973 and 1976.
Hawley became the rst jockey to ever win 500 races
* 515 -- during a single year in 1973 when breaking Bill Shoemaker’s record. He earned the Eclipse Award in 1976 setting an all-time money winning record for a single year.

Memorable Fall Classic for Abe Brewster
Three-year-old Cool Ventura (Seattle Syn) was
the rst in the winner’s enclosure after winning the $50,000 Beaufort Stakes, his full older brother, four- year-old Cool Synsation followed with a win in the $50,000 Real Diamond Express Handicap Stakes
(a repeat winner of the same race last year), and
their 2-year-old half brother, Cool Diablo (Young Devil) then crossed the nish line rst in the $50,000 Alberta Premier’s Futurity Stakes.
5 foals (all boys), with 4 winners out of her 4 start- ers. Her rst foal of 2003, Cool Yer Boots (King’s Nest) was a 3 time winner at age 3 and had 2 wins at 4.
Saturday, September 27, Fall Classic Day at North- lands Park in Edmonton, will be one that Owner/ Breeder Abe Brewster will remember, and it may also be one for the record books.
Her 2007 foal (Cool Kahuna) and 2008 foal (unnamed) are both by the stallion Kahuna Jack. I’m sure we can look forward to seeing them in the winner’s circle in the years to come.
The nal three Stakes races of the 2008 Fall Classic card were won by Abe’s homebreds, each trained by Cody Anderson, and each ridden by Real Simard. What makes these wins special is that all three of the horses were out of his mare, Devil’s Favour.
