MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Pope McLean Jr.
Talent runs as true in horsemen as in the Thoroughbreds they breed, a maxim exemplified by the McLeans of Kentucky. In the near-five decades since Pope McLean Sr. founded Crestwood Farm in Lexington, his nursery has become a hallmark of consistency. Most recently, Pope Sr. and sons Pope Jr. and Marc bred Bowies Hero, who captured the March 10 Frank E. Kilroe Mile Stakes (G1T) at Santa Anita, in Kentucky.
“It’s sort of few and far between that perform like that,” said Pope Jr. After a weanling Bowies Hero failed to achieve his $16,000 reserve at the 2014 Keeneland November sale, the son of Artie Schiller sold for $17,000 to RJG Racing Management at the following year’s Keeneland September sale. “He was a nice physical. We didn’t get a ton of money for him, but Artie Schiller wasn’t setting the world on fire, I guess would be the best way to say it,” he added.

Farm-Wise Parasite Control Strategies
When you’ve got a barn full of horses with different parasite burdens, fecal egg count testing can help you deworm each one properly
By Sarah Evers Conrad
Change can be hard, especially for horse owners. We follow the seemingly indisputable rules of horse care and management that have been handed down to us from generations past. And we can be taken aback when someone dares question our decades-old practices.
One tradition that must be bucked, however, is deworming horses at regular intervals. Blanket parasite control strategies have led to widespread drug resistance in many parasite populations. And if farm and boarding barn owners don’t transition to a more targeted approach, then the resistance of all parasite populations to all drugs on the market could very soon become a reality.
Each horse has his own individual needs when it comes to parasite control. But when you’re responsible for deworming a number of horses on one property, how do you meet each one’s needs? The answer lies in collecting a fecal sample prior to deworming and calculating the number of parasite eggs within it.

2018-19 International Racing Trips
October 1-8 : France for the Arc de Triomphe
The greatest horse race in the world — the Arc de Triomphe — will be “back home” at the newly remodeled Longchamp Racecourse in Paris after a two-year hiatus. During our week we’ll have additional racing at Longchamp and also at Saint-Cloud and Compiegne. A longer stay in Chantilly this trip will allow us an extended visit to the major French training area and also more time for the other very worthwhile attractions in town. We’ll attend the Arc-eve sale of horses-in-training, and include some other special non-racing activities. You can take a day off from the track or extend in Paris to enjoy the city at the height of its best season. Our hotels are the new Auberge de Jeu de Paume in the heart of Chantilly and the traditionally luxurious Raphael in Paris.
March 6-17 2019: New Zealand
Following on our successful and much-enjoyed trips to Australia, we journey south of the equator again for our first expedition to this place long known for its scenic beauty and its high-quality racehorse production. March is fall in New Zealand, and arguably the best time to visit. Included will be major Group 1 racing at the country’s two most important tracks in Auckland and Wellington and some additional rural small-track racing. We’ll also have a a stay in the Waikato, home of most of New Zealand’s major breeding farms. A number of exceptional non-racing activities will be incorporated.
