Don Bernhardt Recap

0
Trainer Ian Wilkes thought Marylou Whitney Stable’s 4-year-old colt Gorgeous Bird had considerable talent but just wasn’t quite getting it all together.
That changed in Saturday’s $50,000 Don Bernhardt Memorial Stakes at Ellis Park, when the gray colt exploded through the stretch under Chris Landeros for a half-length victory over Black Bear. It was the first stakes triumph and fourth victory in 14 career starts for Gorgeous Bird.
“That was impressive,” Wilkes, who had three horses in stakes at Indiana Grand Saturday night, said by phone. “He’s always been a talented horse. I just had to get him to come back and mentally get it together. Hopefully we can go on this  year and have a lot of fun with him.”
Landeros took advantage of the swift pace set by Mr Business, who was pressed by Tanner’s Popsicle, at 16-1 the second-longest shot in the field of eight under 2015 Ellis riding champ Didiel Osorio. Gorgeous Bird and the Jesus Castanon-ridden Black Bear stalked the pace and both horses fanned wide on the turn. But Landeros split horses late in the stretch to secure the victory, covering 6 1/2 furlongs in a good 1:14.70. Gorgeous Bird paid $15.80 to win.
Gorgeous Bird was coming off an eighth-place finish in a 1 1/8-mile allowance race at Churchill Downs. He tipped his hand with a huge five-eighths of a mile work in 59 seconds for the Bernhardt.
“I expected a big run from him today,” said Landeros, who married Wilkes’ daughter, Shelby, two days after the Kentucky Derby. “I’ve always liked the shorter distance with him. He seemed to be a little keen going a route, and I thought this 6 1/2 distance would let him back off a little bit with the faster fractions in front of him. That happened. He took a breather for me. We had a great trip, and he kicked in when it mattered.”
Tanner’s Popsicle, claimed two races earlier for $40,000 by trainer Kim Hammond, did well to hang on to third, 1 1/2 lengths behind the Randy Morse-trained Black Bear, himself a $62,000 claim in his last start but a horse with considerable back class.
The big disappointment was heavy favorite Barbados, a graded-stakes winner who ran in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint last fall. He was never in the hunt and wound up beating only the tiring longshot Mr Business.
Gorgeous Bird, a son of Unbridled’s Song, was on the Kentucky Derby trail last year after winning a mile allowance race in his third start. However, a fifth place in the Fountain of Youth and sixth in the Blue Grass sent Wilkes in a different direction. But when, off a six-month layoff, Gorgeous Bird finished a good third in a mile allowance race at Churchill Downs, Wilkes tried him again at a longer distance.
“He ran a really good race going a mile first time back, which I thought was a real tremendous race,” Wilkes said. “I ran him a mile and an eighth, and maybe it was just too far for him. I wanted to shorten him back up, because he’s a naturally fast horse. I wanted to see what we had.”
Whitney and her husband, John Hendrickson, live in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., and Gorgeous Bird could have earned a shot at the elite summer meet at Saratoga Race Course. “If we can do good,” Wilkes said. “It’s a big step up, too.”

EPD K-9 Unit Takes Top Four Spots at U.S.P.C.A Refion 5 Field Trials

1

The Evansville Police Department’s K9 Unit sent four of our K9 teams to the United States Police Canine Association (USPCA) Region 5 Field Trials being held in Lexington, Kentucky this past week.

The USPCA Region 5 is comprised of law enforcement K9 units that serve in Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. The handlers and their canine partners are tested on and compete in the following disciplines:
Obedience
Agility
Evidence Search
Suspect Search
Criminal Apprehension

EPD K9 teams had an outstanding showing at the field trials and swept the overall top 4 winning place positions. In addition to winning the top four positions, EPD teams finished first in every individual discipline.
Representing the EPD were the teams of Zach Elfreich and K9 Axel (1st Place overall), Nick Henderson and K9 Qaos (2nd Place overall), Jason Thomas and K9 Abot (3rd Place overall), and Doug Buetel and K9 Gero (4th Place overall). This was the third consecutive year that Officer Elfreich and his partner Axel won the trials.

This showing reflects proudly on the hard work, dedication, and work ethic that the EPD’s K9 Unit puts forth in their service to the community.

 

Governor Mike Pence Directs Flags Be Flown at Half-staff Statewide to Honor Victims of the Terrorist Attack in Nice, France

0

Indianapolis – In accordance with a presidential proclamation issued this afternoon, Governor Mike Pence is directing flags at state facilities statewide be flown at half-staff to honor the victims of the terrorist attack in Nice, France. Flags should be flown at half-staff immediately until sunset on Tuesday, July 19.

Governor Pence also asks businesses and residents to lower their flags to half-staff in accordance with the directive.

The Governor released the following statement after news of the attack broke last night:

“Our hearts go out to the fallen and their families in today’s terrorist attack in France. This attack is a horrific reminder of the threat facing Western civilization. This must end. As we mourn with the people of France, we must resolve to bring to justice all those responsible and defeat this enemy of civilization at its source.”

Helping Hoosiers with Disabilities

0
Dear Friend,

Many new laws are now in effect, including policies helping Hoosiers with disabilities.

Indiana joined a growing number of states implementing the ABLE Act. The Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act allows certain individuals with disabilities and their families the opportunity to create a tax-exempt savings account that can be used for maintaining health, independence and quality of life. Now, Hoosiers with disabilities can save tax free and plan for future qualified expenses without jeopardizing their eligibility for other benefits.

Hoosiers can now request an identification card from the Indiana State Department of Health indicating they are medically diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder or another developmental disability. These cards are not required, but cardholders who choose to use them will be better equipped to convey they have a disability to first responders or anyone else. These have proven useful in the event that if, for instance, autistic behavior is mistaken for noncompliance or aggression.

In the coming weeks, I will be providing information on other new laws effective this month. Please contact me at h76@iga.in.gov or 317­-232­-9816 with questions or input.

Sincerely,

State Rep. Wendy McNamara
