At 9:15 this morning the U.S. Supreme Court denied the petition of the Casinos concerning the impact fee. This means that the eighty million + dollars that is being held in escrow will be released in about 10 days. In addition the casinos are currently and will continue to pay 3% into the horse equity trust fund for the next three years. This means so much to so many hard working people. I grateful that I had the chance to play a small part in getting the bill passed.

Jake Bryant, owner of the late leading sire Cartwright, is proud to congratulate his young stallion Western Outlaw, whose first two starters posted wins in the last two days. Lone Star Cowboy won a $23,000 maiden allowance by a length and a half at Lone Star Park in Texas, June 12. Boston Outlaw won a $29,000 maiden special weight by 6-3/4 lengths at Arlington Park, June 14. A terrific start for the progeny of Western Outlaw who now ranks as Leading Juvenile and Freshman Sire, and is among the top current sires.
