00:04It was my husband's dream to start a horse farm in Saratoga and he found this piece of property
00:12and we both fell in love. We love the New York Bread program. It's not just the great purses in
00:20New York State but the Breeders Awards, the Owners Awards, the Stallions Awards. All of a sudden when
00:28those checks come in on a quarterly basis it's like a Christmas present. They really make a
00:34difference and we have continued to expand into more of that program. Since my time with New York
00:43Thurbridge Breeders the program has grown tremendously. It's a credit to our breeders
00:47and that our full crop is increased every year as well as our partnerships with Naira, Nitha,
00:53Finger Legs. We've seen the rise in purse money, incentives, and awards. We have over 60 million
00:59dollars that is distributed annually to breeders and owners of New York Breads that participate in
01:05our program. We love breeding here. There is so much support around us. I think that running in New York
01:14Bread races helps with like horses being able to win probably earlier against their own competition,
01:22getting some black type, increasing resale value, helping those families grow.
01:29The biggest development we've seen in our program especially since my arrival has been the matching of
01:34equal purse money for New York Breads with open company horses on the Naira circuit. When I'm out
01:40talking to breeders, owners of New York Breads, everybody sees this as the opportune time to participate in
01:45our program. Our horses of the year are winning grade one races. Participants in our program are competing and
01:51winning an open company racing. We certainly picture ourselves as top tier competition that's being
01:57bred and competing each year. The New York Breads sale even over the last couple of years, they just
02:03seem to keep stepping it up. And the New York Bread we sold in last year's sale brought numbers that
02:10I was
02:10really thrilled with and didn't didn't necessarily expect. This year we have four. We've got an Oscar
02:19performance filly. She is out of a mare that's produced a grade two winner. And then we have a
02:25flight line colt by Adorable Miss. And then we have a Samaritan's Purse filly by American Revolution.
02:33And Samaritan's Purse is the relationship to Usha. And then we have Arabian Lion. She's out of Heavenly
02:41Score. And I feel like we're in the right place because I think that New York State really is
02:49backing racing. So it's nice to have that feeling of comfort. Racing in New York has a lot to look
02:56forward to. We have a new Belmont Park that's opening in September. And to have owners and breeders
03:02see their horses compete on that new track will be a phenomenal experience. And more owners coming
03:08to the state daily that are proving that owning a New York Bread gives you an advantage.
