National Horsemen’s Benevolent & Protective Association

0

Topics Include Horsemen’s Relations, Aftercare, ADWs; Kentucky Downs’ Johnsen Delivering Keynote Address

Racetracks developing strong relations with their horsemen is good for business. So is the sport’s stake-holders investing in thoroughbred retirement.

Those are two panel discussions during what promises to be a lively and informative National HBPA Convention March 7-10 at Las Vegas’ South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa. The Horsemen’s Benevolent & Protective Association is the world’s largest organization representing Thoroughbred owners and trainers, with close to 30,000 members across the United States and Canada.

The convention kicks off with a reception the evening of March 7, with full days of programming March 8-10 open to all attendees. In addition, the complete HBPA board will meet March 11. It is the only convention the HBPA will stage in 2017 after having two in prior years.

Registration is now open at hbpa.org/convention for the event, at which elected officers and board members of the 28 state and five Canadian affiliates will discuss the issues and challenges facing the sport through committee meetings, panels and presentations. The assembly is open to anyone involved in the racing industry, including handicappers and fans. Sponsored by Xpressbet and the National HBPA, the convention for the first time includes a handicapping tournament that serves as a qualifier to the 2018 DRF/ NTRA National Handicapping Championship.

Corey Johnsen, president and part-owner of Kentucky Downs as well as an owner and breeder, will deliver the keynote speech on March 8. He also is part of a panel titled Horsemen’s Relations: Building Positive Momentum Working Together, a session that includes The Stronach Group’s Mike Rogers and Canterbury Park’s Randy Sampson, with Virginia HBPA executive director Frank Petramalo moderating.

Johnsen, Ray Reid and their partners in Kentucky Downs began operating Historical Horse Racing terminals on Sept. 1, 2011, and have used that innovative pari-mutuel technology as a game-changing force for the good. In the last five years, the track’s purses have mushroomed from $746,810 for the meet to $7.8 million in 2016. Kentucky Downs also is using its economic firepower to benefit the entire state circuit, including

UE Men’s Basketball travels to Loyola on Saturday

Aces on the road for next two games

 

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Missouri Valley Conference play continues this weekend as the University of Evansville men’s basketball team travels to Chicago to take on Loyola on Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m.

 

Evansville led by as many as 13 points in the first half, but Wichita State cut the halftime gap to three before outscoring the Aces by a 52-32 margin in the second half to earn an 82-65 win on Tuesday evening.  Jaylon Brown scored 28 points on 9-of-14 shooting, including four triples while Ryan Taylor registered 17.

 

Dru Smith had one of his best all-around efforts for UE, notching 9 rebounds and 7 assists in 33 minutes, all career highs.  The Aces head to Loyola on Saturday, looking to make it a perfect 4-0 in their last four trips to Gentile Arena; despite winning the last three road contests against Loyola, the total margin in those contests is just 13 points.

 

Jaylon Brown has done a great job of getting to the line and making those efforts pay off this season.  His 126 made free throws in 2016-17 ranks second in the country while his 149 attempts is 5th.  On January 4 versus Bradley, Brown connected on 17 free throws, which is the third-best game in Division I this season.

 

At the top of the scoring charts for the Aces this season, Jaylon Brown and Ryan Taylor have been dominant.  The duo has combined for 34 overall double-figure scoring games and 14 in Valley play.  The rest of the team has accumulated just 14 overall efforts in double digits and four in the MVC games.

 

A 72-69 loss in double overtime at UNI on Wednesday evening saw Loyola fall to 13-7 overall and 3-4 in the Valley.  Four Ramblers average double figures, led by Milton Doyle; Doyle has started all 20 contests and leads the way with 15.9 points per game and team-highs in assists (95) and blocks (14).  Aundre Jackson is next up with 14.7 PPG while Donte Ingram stands with 13.8 PPG and a team-high 6.5 boards.  Clayton Custer completes the double figure scorers for Loyola with 12.2 points.  Ingram was the leading scorer for the Ramblers against the Panthers on Wednesday, notching 19 points and 9 rebounds while Custer added 16 in the double OT defeat.

 

Since Loyola joined the MVC in 2013, the Aces have won five out of six meetings versus the Ramblers, including all three visits to Gentile Arena.  Overall, Evansville has a 26-17 lead in the series and is 11-8 on the road against Loyola.
