    • Texas Racing Commission (TXRC) chairman Robert Pate reportedly announced that Amy Cook, the commission's executive director and chief law enforcer, is leaving her position “by year's end,” according to two individuals who witnessed Wednesday's commission meeting. No successor was named during the meeting, nor were any reasons given for Cook leaving her position, according to the sources. The TDN has reached out to the TXRC for clarification on these questions. This story will be updated as necessary. Cook has been in the position since November of 2021, and is seen by some in the state industry as a controversial hiring. Cook assumed the job after a long history in the U.S. military. While she had no prior experience in the horse racing industry, it appears as though her ideological opposition to the federal Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) was an important factor in her role. Indeed, last year Pate told the TDN that Cook in her position has been working with the Texas Attorney General's office “to successfully attack the constitutionality of the HISA law.” When HISA's racetrack safety program launched in 2022, the TXRC argued it was statutorily barred from joining HISA–a position it has since maintained. Because the HISA Authority has jurisdiction over the interstate simulcasting of races, the commission argues it is prohibited from permitting Texan tracks to export their signals. The inability for Texan tracks to simulcast their signals has resulted in massive drops in handle, with major implications for purses and track revenues. Though purses in the state are bolstered by monies accrued through a tax on equine products like feed and tack, the TDN obtained a memo put together by Texas racing stakeholders earlier this year which argues the industry is still losing approximately $6 million in revenues annually.

    • Despite a dominant 6 1/2-length history in the GI Champagne S. at Aqueduct Oct. 4, Napoleon Solo (Liam's Map) will skip the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile. Napoleon Solo is owned by Al Gold's Gold Square LLC and is trained by Chad Summers. The story was first reported by the Daily Racing Form's David Grening. “Unfortunately , the Breeders Cup is in California every year,” Summers said. “Hopefully, that will change. It's a lot to ask of these 2-year-olds. We weren't really sure what we wanted to do after the race that was that fast and he had to run hard in. After a couple days of reflection and talking it over with Mr. Gold, we feel like it would be a lot to ask of him to come right back in the Breeders' Cup. He's a young 2-year-old. We're going to look forward to next year and, hopefully, he'll go to the Breeders' Cup next year.” Purchased for just $40,000 at Keeneland September, Napoleon Solo started his career in a Saratoga maiden race restricted to horses that sold for $60,000 or less at the sales. He won that day by 5 1/4 lengths. At odds of 6-1, he wired the field in the Champagne in an impressive performance. Summers has yet to map out a plan for Napoleon Solo for next year. “We'll take it one day at a time,” he said. “When he's ready to run, we'll look at all the options. He will be nominated to everything across the country. We also have that horse ['TDN Rising Star' presented by Hagyard SW & GISP] Two Out Hero (War Front) with Kevin Attard. Right now he's pointing to the Holy Bull. Well try him on the dirt.  We'd like to keep those horses separated. We'll see what options are out there when the situation is right. That's the beautiful thing about Derby prep season. There's no shortage of options.” The post Champagne Winner Napoleon Solo Will Pass Breeders’ Cup Juvenile appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
