Casse’s stable rolls into Breeders’ Cup with Tepin, horses for each juvenile race

0

Trainer Mark Casse has his finest assembly of horses for the Breeders’ Cup this year, even if you didn’t count his champion mare Tepin, the international star who Saturday at Santa Anita Park shoots to repeat last year’s Mile victory

Casse, who after a hiatus of two decades resumed having a strong Kentucky presence several years ago, earned his first and second career Breeders’ Cup victories last year at Keeneland, with Catch a Glimpse taking the Juvenile Fillies Turf the day before Tepin’s big triumph over males. That ended an 0-for-23 record in the event dating to his first starter in 1994, after which he never ran another horse in the Breeders’ Cup until 2006. 

But the past several years, Casse has developed one of the strongest stables in North America, including his long-time Canadian base and now in Kentucky, New York and Florida.

Casse, coming off his third Keeneland training crown, is running seven horses in the Breeders’ Cup’s 13 races spread over Friday and Saturday. That includes Catch a Glimpse running in Saturday’s $2 million Filly & Mare Turf as she seeks to rebound from a drubbing in Keeneland’s Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup (G1). He’s also the only trainer to have a horse in all four 2-year-old races.

“And all of them have legitimate chances,” he said of his juvenile contenders after Monday’s post-position draw.

Tepin, who drew post-position 8 for the Mile, lost for the first time in nine races when a late-running second to front-running Photo Call in Keeneland’s Grade 1 First Lady on Oct. 8. That ended a streak that included her historic win over males in Royal Ascot’s Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes and the Woodbine Million in addition to the Breeders’ Cup.

Casse has the talented duo of John Oxley’s La Coronel (impressive winner of Keeneland’s Grade 3 Jessamine) and Live Oak Plantation’s Victory to Victory (Woodbine’s Natalma winner) in Friday’s $1 million Juvenile Fillies Turf, as well as Gary Barber’s Keep Quiet (Grade 3 Bourbon victor) in the $1 million Juvenile Turf. He comes back Saturday with Keeneland’s Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity victor Classic Empire in the $2 million Juvenile and Stonestreet Stables Valadorna, a six-length maiden winner at Keeneland, in the $2 million Juvenile Fillies.

La Coronel drew post 14 in the Juvenile Fillies Turf’s capacity field. It was the same post that the Casse-trained My Conquestadory had three years ago at Santa Anita when finishing fourth after a tough trip.

“She kind of lays just off the pace away,” Casse said of La Coronel. “Hopefully we can get over a little bit into the first turn. But you know what? She’s a really good horse, so she could possibly overcome it.

“… If you said to me, ‘Who could take the worst draw and get the job done?’ it would have been La Colonel. It hurts, but it’s not the end of the world. We run some horses I think have to have the perfect trip to be successful. She’s a pretty darn good horse.”

Florent Geroux, who is having a career season after relocating to Kentucky from Chicago, was given his choice between La Coronel and Victory to Victory and opted for La Coronel.

“I called him (Sunday) night and said, ‘OK, it’s time,’” Casse said of his decision. “Because he had asked me, and I said, ‘I don’t know, I don’t know. You’ve got to make the call.’ He had ridden La Coronel; she broke her maiden at Saratoga before he rode Victory Victory, and he said to Mr. Oxley, ‘We’re going to win the Breeders’ Cup with this one.’ So I think that might have been one of the determining factors.

“… I thought we got some good posts with horses who needed good posts. I think Keep Quiet (post 2) needs the perfect trip to be competitive, and he got a great post. Victory to Victory, she’s a nice horse and she drew a nice post in 5. All in all it was great. Tepin was perfect.”

Casse believes Tepin simply prefers training at Churchill Downs to Saratoga, where she was much of the summer and into the fall.

“The difference watching Tepin train at Saratoga and Churchill was unbelievable,” he said. “Maybe that was my mistake. Maybe we should have gone back to Kentucky. The problem with Kentucky is that it’s very warm. I just heard the forecast, and hopefully it’s not quite so hot” at Santa Anita.

Tepin is the Mile’s 3-1 favorite over the British gelding Limato (7-2) and the Irish 3-year-old filly Alice Springs (4-1). The field of 14 includes six horses from Keeneland’s Shadwell, including the victorious Miss Temple City, who won two Grade 1 races at Keeneland going against boys rather than taking on Tepin. A horse like What a View, a Grade 1 winner who is 5 for 5 at Santa Anita, finished eighth in the Shadwell but lost by a total of only 3 1/4 lengths. Photo Call, who upset Tepin in the First Lady, also is in the Mile.

“It seems to me this was one heck of a mile,” Casse said. “Of course whenever you’re in it you think it’s pretty tough. But I think this is an exceptional Mile. She’s doing extremely well, and we should have no excuses.”

Casse and owner Gary Barber are hoping that Catch a Glimpse, who beat males in taking the Grade 3 Penn Mile, simply did not handle the turf at Keeneland when fading to seventh in the QEII for 3-year-old fillies.

“The game plan — and it will be pretty much the same thing this time — was to make no mistake who was going to be on the lead,” Casse said. “And I told Florent that. I said, ‘There’s some speed in there. I want you to come away from there and show everybody we mean to be on the lead.’ … But our filly didn’t come out running at all.”

Catch a Glimpse, who won a pair of Grade 3 stakes at Keeneland and Churchill in the spring, already had a free entry into the Breeders’ Cup by virtue of taking the Belmont Oaks. Casse said Barber told him, “I think she’ll like Santa Anita. But it’s up to you. If you tell me she isn’t herself, that’s good enough and we’ll send her home.”

Continued Casse, “And after two weeks, I couldn’t tell him that. I said, ‘Gary, I can’t tell you this filly isn’t training really well.’ And that’s why we’re here.”

Classic Empire is the 4-1 second choice in the 1 1/16-mile Sentient Jet Juvenile, in which Churchill Downs’ Grade 3 Iroquois winner Not This Time is the 7-2 favorite (a huge plug for Ellis Park, where Not This Time won a maiden race by 10 lengths). 

The 2-year-old Classic Empire is 3 for 3 in races where he made it through the race, including taking Churchill Downs’ Grade 3 Bashford Manor in his second start. The $475,000 Keeneland yearling was favored in Saratoga’s prestigious Hopeful Stakes but wheeled at the start, losing jockey Irad Ortiz. A month later — and with blinkers added — he made amends by winning Keeneland’s 1 1/16-mile Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity (G1) by three lengths over fellow Juvenile contender Lookin At Lee. It was a huge performance in his first start around two turns and for all intents and purposes his first farther than the Bashford Manor’s six furlongs and off what amounted to three months between starts.

“Never batted an eye,” Casse said. “That just shows how good he is. The blinkers just maybe make him not see too much. He is so smart that he sees a lot of things. But I can tell you one thing, he’s a focused horse.”

Julien Leparoux, who is 3 for 3 on Classic Empire but was sidelined by injury for the Hopeful, is back in the saddle.

“Perfect draw,” Casse said. “It’s a good race. He’s going to be very tough, but it’s a tough race. Our horse has trained really well. He’s definitely one of the horses to beat. Valadorna, my take on it is the filly division is not as tough as the colt division. On that Saturday, when they ran the Alcibiades and the Frizette, I thought our filly (winning a Keeneland maiden race) was as impressive as either one of those other winners. I’m just glad we’re in there.”

The odds agree that Valadorna fits. She’s the 5-1 second choice behind Santa Anita’s Chandelier (G1) winner Noted and Quoted, the favorite at a fat 9-2.

ST. MARY’S MEDICAL CENTER AWARDED ADVANCED CERTIFICATION FOR PRIMARY STROKE CENTERS

St. Mary’s Medical Center announced that it has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association’s Heart-Check mark for Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers. The Gold Seal of Approval® and the Heart-Check mark represent symbols of quality from their respective organizations. St. Mary’s is part of Ascension, the nation’s largest Catholic and non-profit health system

St. Mary’s underwent a rigorous onsite review in August. Joint Commission experts evaluated compliance with stroke-related standards and requirements, including program management, the delivery of clinical care and performance improvement.

“St. Mary’s has thoroughly demonstrated the greatest level of commitment to the care of stroke patients through its Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers,” said Wendi J. Roberts, RN, executive director, Certification Programs, The Joint Commission. “We commend them for becoming a leader in stroke care, potentially providing a higher standard of service for stroke patients in its community.”

“We congratulate St. Mary’s for achieving this designation,” said Nancy Brown, chief executive officer, the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. “By adhering to this very specific set of treatment guidelines St. Mary’s has clearly made it a priority to deliver high quality care to all patients affected by stroke.”

“St. Mary’s is pleased to receive advanced certification from The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association,” said Dr. Allison Weaver, Neurologist and Stroke Medical Director at St. Mary’s. “The certification provides us with the opportunity to highlight the exceptional stroke care we provide as well as to continually strive to advance our care even further.”

Established in 2003, Advanced Certification for Primary Stroke Centers is awarded for a two-year period to Joint Commission-accredited acute care hospitals. The certification was derived from the Brain Attack Coalition’s “Recommendations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers” (JAMA, 2000) and the “Revised and Updated Recommendations for the Establishment of Primary Stroke Centers” (Stroke, 2011).

Stroke is the number four cause of death and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States, according to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds; someone dies of a stroke every four minutes; and 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.

0

University of Southern Indiana Volleyball begins a five-match Great Lakes Valley Conference road trip to end the 2016 regular season Friday at 7 p.m. when it visits the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

 

The Screaming Eagles (9-16, 3-10 GLVC), who have lost five straight and seven of their last eight, also visit Maryville University Saturday at 3 p.m. in St. Louis.

 

USI concludes the regular season with trips to GLVC East Division foes Bellarmine University, November 8 at 6 p.m. (CST) in Louisville, Kentucky; the University of Illinois Springfield, November 11 at 7 p.m. in Springfield, Illinois; and McKendree University, November 12 at 5 p.m. in Lebanon, Illinois.

 

Live stats as well as GLVC Sports Network coverage for all five matches can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

 

USI Volleyball Notes

 

Farrell ties USI record. Junior libero Shannon Farrell tied Amber Gogel’s nine-year old single-match school record for digs this past Friday when she racked up 37 in USI’s four-set loss versus Missouri S&T. Farrell, who averaged 7.86 digs per set last weekend, had 21 of those 37 digs in the fourth set.

 

Gogel originally set the USI single-match record when she racked up 37 digs in a four-set win over Quincy University September 7, 2007, back when sets were played to 30, not 25.

 

Farrell about to move up USI record book, again. Farrell needs just four digs to move past Jamie Roth (1994-97) for fourth all-time at USI. Farrell enters the weekend with 1,258 career digs, including 467 this season. She needs just 33 digs to become the first player in program history to reach 500 digs in back-to-back seasons.

 

Zwissler in the record books. Senior middle/outside hitter Amy Zwissler (Bloomington, Illinois) ranks seventh all-time at USI with 252 career block assists and is sixth in total blocks (282) since 2000. Zwissler needs just two block assists to match Laura Ellerbusch (2002-05) for sixth all-time, and three blocks to tie Margaret Buschman (2005-08) for fifth in total blocks.

 

Shoultz in the record books. Senior setter Quin Shoultz (Columbus, Indiana) moved past Michelle Weesies (1991-93) for sixth all-time at USI in career assists this past Saturday. Shoultz now has 2,162 career assists during her three seasons at USI.

 

GLVC Tournament picture. With five matches remaining in the regular season, an 18th straight trip to the GLVC Tournament is beginning to look like a long shot for USI. The Eagles are four games behind the eighth and final spot in the GLVC Tournament field.

 

Indiana Tech Law School dean argued for more time

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

The decision by the Indiana Tech board of trustees to close the university’s law school came after law school dean Charles Cercone repeatedly argued the institution could become viable if it remained open.

“I was trying to get more time,” he said. “But given the board and the information they had in front of them, it just wasn’t an easy pitch.”

Cercone said the board voted Oct. 23 to close the school but held off on announcing the decision because Indiana Tech President Arthur Snyder wouldn’t be available for comment until this week. Indiana Tech released a statement Monday morning announcing the law school’s closure.

Now the law school has 30 days to develop and submit a plan for closing to the American Bar Association as required by Rule 34 of the ABA Rules of Procedure for the Approval of Law Schools.

The dean said his goal is to make sure the current students are able to transfer to other law schools where they can continue their legal education and ultimately be able to practice law. He has reached out to law school deans in Ohio and Indiana and, he said, has gotten a good reception.

“I think both the ABA and the other deans want to do the best they can for our students,” Cercone said.

Jon Olinger, a member of the law school’s charter class, said he was saddened by the decision to close but that he was most concerned about the faculty.

“The students will land on their feet,” Olinger said, noting the third-year class will be able to graduate and sit for the bar exam while the first- and second-year classes will be able to transfer. But the faculty and staff are getting hit hard because many had uprooted their lives, sold their homes and moved to Fort Wayne to teach at the law school.

Of the university administration, Olinger said “They need to be ashamed of themselves.” He said this is a “total lack of consideration for the lives of the staff and faculty.”

According to Indiana Tech Law School’s website, of the 12 listed as faculty members, five were hired in 2015, including Cercone, and two were more came in 2016. Two law school faculty members reached this morning declined to comment. Others did not return messages.

Cercone said the board of trustees had been in “really serious discussion” about the fate of the law school since late September or early October.  Indiana Tech stated it decided to close because of financial constraints. The university had already incurred a loss of nearly $20 million in operating the law school and believed that for the foreseeable future, the deficit would continue growing.

“Our law school faculty and staff have made commendable efforts in serving our students,” Snyder said in a press release. “Despite their many positive achievements, we have not seen enough of a corresponding increase in demand by prospective students to enable the school to continue in operation.”

Cercone acknowledged the market is “exceptionally difficult” and there are many unknowns as to how the legal job market will change.  In addition, he noted while the faculty is committed to maintaining student quality and not accepting applicants who earn a lower LSAT score, the competition for these students is fierce among other law schools.

Still, he tried to make the case that if Indiana Tech Law School had more time to tout its curriculum and faculty, as well as post better bar exam passage rates, that would have increased student enrollment.

Cercone was confident that law school would have gotten full accreditation and bar results from subsequent graduating classes would have improved.  He said the institution has raised its admission standards and made its curriculum more rigorous.

The law school suffered a major blow this fall when only three of the 13 graduates who took the July bar exam passed. Cercone does not believe the low passage rate caused the board of trustees to pull its support.

“I don’t think, in the long run, the bar results were a determining factor in the board’s decision,” Cercone said. “I think it was much more where is the legal market trending, especially for quality students.”

Olinger does not agree. He called the university’s statement that it was pulling the plug because of finances a “garbage excuse.” He contended the bulk of the $20 million loss came from construction costs to build the law school and, echoing Cercone, given more time, the law school would have been successful.

“This isn’t something that happens on a whim,” he said of the decision to close. “They’ve been planning this for a while.”

Van Winkle Ninth at Trevecca Invite

0
University of Southern Indiana men’s golf junior Preston Van Winkle (Santa Claus, Indiana) posted a ninth place finish to help lead the Screaming Eagles place fourth at the Trevecca Men’s Invitational Monday and Tuesday at Foxland Harbor Golf and Country Club in Gallatin, Tennessee.

Tied for third after an even par 72 first round, Van Winkle fired a three-over 75 in round two for a final three-over 147. Junior Kyle Tanriverdi (Pewaukee, Wisconsin) was solid in both rounds as well tying for 11th with a five-over 149 (77-72).

Playing as an individual, freshman Will Giesler (Jasper, Indiana) was tied for first after the first round with a two-under 70. However, Giesler struggled in the second round with a 16-over 88 to finish 14-over with a 158 and tie for 40th.

As a team, USI concluded their fall schedule by placing fourth out of 11 teams with a 34-over 610 (309-301). The Eagles were just one stroke behind third place Ashland University and two strokes behind second place Tiffin University.

Drake Duncan of Middle Tennessee State and Etienne Brault of Chattanooga were the individual medalists, each finishing with a three-under 141. McKendree University was the overall team champion with a 24-over 600 (300-300).

Eagles tip-off season with Butler exhibition

0

University of Southern Indiana Women’s Basketball begins the 2016-17 season Sunday at 1 p.m. (CST) when it visits NCAA Division I foe Butler University for an exhibition bout.

 

Sunday’s game marks the fifth straight season that the Screaming Eagles have opened the year with an exhibition against a Division I opponent. It will be aired on WSWI 95.7 FM, while live audio can be accessed at GoUSIEagles.com.

 

Senior forward Hannah Wascher (Rantoul, Illinois) and senior guard Tanner Marcum (New Albany, Indiana) collected All-GLVC honors in 2015-16. Wascher was named second-team All-GLVC after averaging 12.9 points and 7.6 rebounds a year ago; while Marcum was named to the third team after averaging 12.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists during her junior year.

 

The Eagles finished 2015-16 with a 14-13 overall record and a 7-11 mark in Great Lakes Valley Conference play. USI finished in a tie for fourth in the GLVC East Division before suffering a 71-59 setback to Saint Joseph’s College in the first round of the GLVC Tournament.

 

Butler is coming off a 91-39 exhibition victory over Division III Hanover College this past Sunday. The Bulldogs, who went 10-21 overall and 4-14 in Big East play a year ago, were led by Evansville native Tori Schickel’s 20 points and 15 rebounds.

 

Following USI’s visit to Butler, the Eagles open the regular season November 11 when they host NAIA foe Roosevelt University at the Physical Activities Center.

 

 

USI Women’s Basketball Notes

 

Eagles picked fourth in GLVC East Division. USI Women’s Basketball was predicted to finish fourth in the GLVC East Division. The forecast came in the announcement of the 2016-17 GLVC Preseason Coaches’ Poll. The Screaming Eagles received 80 points, just one shy of third-place Saint Joseph’s College. Bellarmine and Lewis were picked to finish first and second, respectively, in the East Division, while Drury was the unanimous chose to win the West Division.

 

Eagles look to bounce back from frustrating season. USI Women’s Basketball looks to bounce back from a 2015-16 campaign that saw it post a 14-13 overall record as well as a 7-11 mark in GLVC play. After opening the year with a 10-1 overall record and a 3-0 mark in GLVC play, the Eagles suffered through a 10-game losing streak that saw them lose five games by less than 10 points and three games by fewer than five points.

 

What went wrong in 2015-16? USI was playing through adversity from the onset as several players missed significant time during the preseason and regular-season due to illness. Coupled with the fact that USI had overturned its roster due to the loss of seven seniors from a 25-win team in 2014-15, and that there were no seniors on last year’s roster, the Eagles, at times, had trouble stopping opponent runs that would spiral out of control during their 10-game losing streak.

 

What went right in 2015-16? Despite the adversity, the Eagles never quit. They showed an unwillingness to give up and kept themselves in the hunt to earn the right to host a GLVC Tournament first round home game by winning four of their final five regular-season games. USI ended the year tied for 4th in the GLVC East Division and eighth overall, but lost out on a first-round home game due to tie-breakers.

 

What to look forward to in 2016-17? One word: Chemistry. The Eagles return all but one player from the 2015-16 campaign, including all five starters and five seniors. USI players spent several weeks together during the summer, playing pick-up games in the PAC, and have had a strong off-season workout program that has them primed for the start of the 2016-17 campaign.

 

A look at USI’s lone newcomer. Freshman Morgan Sherwood, a 5-foot-10 guard/forward from Charleston High School (Illinois), is USI’s lone newcomer in 2016-17.  An AAU teammate of USI juniors Kaydie Grooms and Randa Harshbarger, Sherwood was a four-time All-State honoree who averaged 22.7 points and 9.2 rebounds per game as a senior in 2016-17.
