The KTFMC is conducting an economic impact study of the thoroughbred industry in Kentucky. The survey has been emailed to all farms listed in our directory. We are asking for all farms to take a few minutes to fill it out. We have designed the survey to be quick and easy to fill out. It is imperative that all farms participate, because this will represent the industry in Frankfort to the Governor, General Assembly, and most importantly—the citizens of the Commonwealth.

If you have not received a copy of the survey, Please reply to this e-mail and we will forward you a link so you can complete the survey.

The study will be completely anonymous and we ask that one survey per farm be completed.

Thank you in advance for your participation.

The next Kentucky Thoroughbred Farm Managers Membership Meeting will take place on Wednesday, July 6, 2011 at The Red Mile featuring guest speakers Mike Penna and Jude Feld.

Mike Penna first sat behind a microphone in 2003 when he began co-hosting the popular Saturday morning “Equine Forum” talk show. In 2005, Mike and the late Pete Kules established the Horse Racing Radio Network (HRRN). In addition to producing the “Equine Forum” every week, the duo started to travel to racetracks around the country providing fans with live coverage of many of the nation’s biggest races.  Mike is the current president of HRRN and also serves as the anchor for all of its broadcasts.  Last year, HRRN broadcasted more than 100 of the nation’s top thoroughbred races. In early 2011, Mike and HRRN received an Eclipse Award for coverage of the 2010 Breeders’ Cup World Championships. This year HRRN will provided complete coverage of the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont. Derby coverage was
carried on more than 40 affiliate stations across the country as well as on SiriusXM satellite radio.  It was also broadcasted to our service men and women around the world on the American Forces Network and streamed worldwide on the HRRN website.

Mike’s passion for racing spans more than 19 years. In 1989, he stood alongside the rail at historic Saratoga Racecourse and watched as Easy Goer win the Travers Stakes. After cashing his winning ticket on the heavy favorite, he was hooked for life.  A native of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Mike and his wife Michelle, relocated to Lexington in 1997. Mike worked at The Jockey Club, Thoroughbred Times, and Keeneland’s racing office before pursuing his interest in broadcasting.

Jude Feld joined the HRRN team in 2007 as a paddock reporter and analyst. He has loved Thoroughbred racing since his youth and began his horseracing career in 1978. Feld began making charts for the Daily Racing Form at Ellis Park in Henderson, Kentucky under the tutelage of legendary trackman Jack Valentine. After a stint as assistant trainer to Doug Udouj in the Bluegrass State and to Julio Canani in California, Jude took out his own trainer’s license in 1980. He has trained the winners of 23 stake races, including graded winners Pewter Grey, Steff Graf (Brz) and m Vigne (Fr) as well as multiple stakes winners Broadway Pointe, Freya Stark (Ire), Order and Capel Meister (Fr). Retiring from training in 2000, Jude became a racing publicist, public handicapper and bloodstock consultant. In 2003, he was honored with an Eclipse Award, alongside G.D. Hieronymus for their collaboration “If It Was Easy…Everyone Would Do It,” which he wrote and G.D. produced for Keeneland. Jude has an intimate knowledge of the Sport of Kings and countless friends in the Thoroughbred racing industry.  In 2011, Jude was honored with his second Eclipse Award as part of our HRRN’s broadcast of the Breeders’ Cup World Championships.
