IN THE GENE FLEMING BREEDERS’ DERBY
New Tax Court Case Discusses Passive Loss Issue
by John Alan Cohan, Attorney at Law
The IRS will often argue that a taxpayer is no eligible to
deduct losses for a horse business because it’s a “passive
activity.” The Material Participation Test (sec. 469 IRS Code)
defines a passive activity as a business in which the taxpayer
does not “materially participate”.
An important new Tax Court case on this subject is Tolin vs.
IRS Commissioner [T.C. Memo 2014-65], ruled in favor
of the taxpayer on this issue. The taxpayer, and attorney in
Minneapolis, devoted significant time to thoroughbred racing
and breeding. The IRS claimed that the taxpayer’s losses from
the thoroughbred business should be disallowed because
they were passive activity losses. (The IRS conceded that the
activity was a business not a hobby)
The Material Participation Test requires that a taxpayer
engage in the activity on a “regular, continuous and
substantial basis.” The test also requires that the taxpayer
actually does participate in the activity as a principal or a
manager, and that he actually does exercise the powers of
decision-making reposed in him.
The taxpayer in this case argued that he had spent over 500
hours per year in the activity - thus satisfying one of several
alterative standards to prove material participation.
He sent his breeding stallion to trainers, and the horse was
entered in a number of races, earning $77,638. The stallion
then sustained a leg injury that prematurely ended his career.
The taxpayer then offered the stallion, Choosing Choice, for
stud service, and bred to three of his own mares. He stood the
stallion on a farm in Louisiana to take advantage of the state’s
breeding incentive program. As to his own foals he sent them
as yearlings to individualized training programs.
The taxpayer gave credible testimony about time he spent in
managing his thoroughbred activity. He conferred daily by
phone with his stallion manager trainers and another adviser;
he called breeders who might be interested in his stallion,
and even made “cold calls” to members of the Louisiana
Thoroughbred Breeders’ Association directory. He mailed a
promotional package to interested breeders with personalized
letters. He placed full-page print ads in the Louisiana Horse,
and Louisiana Stallion Register. He made numerous trips to
Louisiana during the years at issue, and met as many horse
breeders and farm managers as possible while there.
Administrative tasks included reviewing and paying bills,
keeping the books, arranging for mortality insurance,
paperwork for registration. He subscribed to and read
a number of horse industry publications, and attended
seminars regarding equine health. He supervised editing of a
video on his stallion.
The IRS disputed the time claimed by the taxpayer. Time
spent on an activity may be proven by any reasonable means.
It is not necessarily to have contemporaneous logs, although
if available, that constitutes very strong evidence.
The IRS argued that much of the time spent by the taxpayer
constituted activities as an “investor,” not as an entrepreneur
of a going business. Under the Material Participation Test,
activities as an “investor” are specifically excluded from time
counted towards meeting the test.
The Tax Court disagreed with the IRS on this point,
saying: “Petitioner was directly involved in the day-to-day
management and operation of the thoroughbred activity;
therefore, any investor work he completed qualifies as
participation for purpose of section 469.”
In proving time expended people usually do not have
contemporaneous logs. Time may be proven using phone
records, credit cards, invoices, and a narrative summary of
the activities. Activities include phone conversations, emails,
research, preparing and distributing promotional materials,
business trips, registration and insurance paperwork,
reviewing and paying bills, record-keeper, continuing
education and administrative tasks. Third party witness
testimony (from trainers and advisers) is important to
corroborate a taxpayer’s statement of time expended. ◆

MEMBERSHIP
MEETING &
AWARDS
DINNER FOR
ARIZONA
CHAMPIONS
OF 2013
T
he Annual Arizona Thoroughbred
Breeders Association awards dinner was
held on Friday, April 25, 2014 in the
Turf Club Terrace at Turf Paradise. President
Kevin Owens welcomed the members and
guests and opened the general membership
meeting. President Owens gave a brief
summary of the overall year and hope for
the future. He thanked the members and
guests for their support throughout the
years. Kevin wished everyone good luck
and great day of racing at the Arizona
Breeders’ Festival on the following
Saturday, April 26, 2014.
President Owens then turned the time
over to Ray Odom who acted as master
of ceremonies. Ray recognized thanked
the following Sponsors who make this
event possible.
He thanked every one for their
donations for the silent auction,
and encouraged the members
to check out the auction items.
There was a whole array of
auction items from a huge
arrangement of flowers,
various gift baskets of
pasta, wines and make
your own martini’s.
Golf packages’ were a big
hit, as well as Diamondback
tickets, spa and dinner
gift certificates. Items were
donated for the use of horse and stable
owners and our local veterinarians donate
there services for auction.
John Campo III, donated an HD colored
Kindle. Gaston Jewelers donated a beautiful
gold and diamond horseshoe ring.
Ray Odom opened the ceremonies with
a couple of humors stories and spoke of the
Triple Crown hopeful named “California
Chrome.” The famous three-year-old, trained
by Art Sherman has paved the way for small
breeders across the country. He has now
captured the Kentucky Derby and Preakness
Stakes with tremendous ease. His next task
at hand will be the Belmont Stakes. The
distance of the Belmont Stakes at a mile and
one-half, has been the deal breaker for Triple
Crown hopefuls for the past thirty-six years.
After Ray’s opening, he introduced
Chaplain John Shumaker as our guest
speaker. John opened with a story about
how he was introduced to the racetrack. He
told us about his beginnings as a horseshoer
on the backside. As a child he was educated
during the summer months in local bible
studies and was asked by Race Track
Chaplaincy Program (RTCP) to become the
Chaplain in Arizona.
During the race meet at Turf Paradise,
Chaplain John conducts Sunday services
at the backside church. His wife Amy
accompanies him and helps with the daily
devotions and assists John with his
duties.
John uplifts our spirits
during the eight o’clock
break with words and quotes
from the bible over
the intercom. He
later heads up to the
jockey’s room to pray
with the riders and
racing officials before
the races and gives the
Jockey’s a safe journey
blessing as they take on
their dangerous tasks of
race riding.
Chaplain Shumaker
closed with a prayer
before our dinner and
gave our guests and members a blessing as
we will soon be departing for the summer
months to race in different states. His
audience replied with an Amen! ....and our
guests rose to fill their plates at the buffet.
A delicious prime rib and turkey dinner
was served to the membership, guests and
honorees.
Ray resumed his master of ceremonies
commentary and introduced the Champions
of 2013. Video clips of each champion horse
and it’s accomplishments were described and
shown prior to each award presentation. Each
Breeder/Owner and Trainer were awarded
with engraved crystal plates. ◆
Congratulations to all our winners!

CONGRATULATIONS LEE VAUGHN
FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THOROUGHBRED INDUSTRY
Photo left to right: President Kevin Owens is Presenting this years Julep Cup
Award to Mr. Lee Vaughn, Brian & Alexia Jo Calvert, and Wende Macumber.
L
ee Vaughn was very surprised and a bit emotional when he realized that Wende Macumber was describing the history
and passions of a Police Officer who served on the San Diego Police Department for more than 25 years. Lee is now
a retired Captain from the police force and is spending his time managing a small stallion farm in Seligman, Arizona
He started with horses at a young age, but they were not his only passion in life. During his time working on the force, Lee’s
interests in Thoroughbreds were put on hold. His family came to the fore front of his passions, as he and his loving wife Elaine
had three wonderful children, which Lee speaks proudly of at any chance he gets.
Although, rasing his family took first place in his heart, the Thoroughbreds had always kept a hoof print in his thoughts. He
currently owns and operates a farm with his daughter Alexia Jo and son-in-law Brian Calvert. At the farm, he breeds a few
mares to his stallions and sells the yearlings at our sale and sometimes keeps a select few to race. In 2011, one of his homebreds
named Ten Ninety Seven, won the $50,000 Gene Fleming Breeders’ Derby. It was a very proud and exciting moment for Lee.
His Thoroughbred aspirations had paid him dividends of joy.
Upon his retirement, Lee has achieved a life long dream of breeding and racing his own bloodline of Thoroughbreds. He has
made many contributions to the Breeders Association and has played a big part in bringing our board matters to a win-win
resolution. Lee has been an integral part of our industry and has filled many positions as a Jockey, Owner, Breeder, and ATBA
Board Director through out his lifetime with horses.
Mr. Vaughn’s early encounters with horse racing was learning the basics from leading trainers Pops & Paul Oliver. Lee not only
loves the horses, he loves the people involved with them. He is always willing to help and provide his expertise to our ATBA
members. Lee has spent countless hours traveling to attend our board meetings and has made sure that the Arizona Breeders
and Owners are represented well. His contributions of time and energy has made Arizona Thoroughbreds successful today.
The ATBA was honored to present Mr. Lee Vaughn with this Award and to let him know that his hard work has not been
unnoticed. The Julep Cup Award is graciously donated by The Bloodhorse and is given to individuals that have made an
impact on our industry in Arizona. ◆

Chaplaincy Program (RTCP) helps many people working with the
horses in the stable area. They provide people with spiritual guidance,
various necessities, such as clothing, books, food, Sunday school for
kids and an open place to worship. We were very blessed this evening

Congratulations
Triple AAA Ranch
Total Progeny Earnings $488,819
Triple AAA Ranch is a timeless oasis in the north part of Glendale, Arizona. The Ranch is located just a few miles west of Turf
Paradise on Thunderbird Road. This prime stretch of real estate has the most peaceful green pastures and are filled with beautiful Thoroughbreds. It’s a pleasure to take a drive pass the ranch to see the cute foals nuzzling their mother’s or frolicking in the
lush paddocks.
Triple AAA Ranch has a rich history of breeding Arizona’s most sought after racing bloodlines. Richard Owens began with
Crafty Drone as his foundation stallion. Triple AAA Ranch pays tribute to their careful study and nicking of bloodlines. Their
successful crosses of homebred mares and stallions have been a great contribution to the Thoroughbred racing industry. The
grand dam of the breeding program has been French Debutante who has won several “Broodmare of the Year Awards”, as her
progeny has total earnings that have topped most other mares in our state. Owens currently stands Top Hit and EZ Dreamer at
his Glendale ranch and he owns other quality stallions such as Rocky Bar and Uh Oh Bango, which stand at E.A. Ranches in
California.
We have already seen some of the photos of foals from the freshman stallion Uh Oh Bango published in the California breeders magazines, as well as the new Rocky Bar foals. Last year Rocky Bar’s progeny dominated the ATBA Sales Stakes Futurities
(Spring & Fall), the Arizona Breeders Futurities and Cactus Flower Stakes. Now on the horizon is Top Fortitude’s racing career.
He is sired by Top Hit out of French Debutante and recently won a $100,500 Grade III Stakes at Santa Anita.
Spring has always been a great time of the year to view the up and coming yearlings at Triple AAA Ranch, as much as their new
born foals. History and the future of Arizona Thoroughbreds are always in the making at the ranch. Richard Owens is committed to his Arizona home and his breeding program. He recognizes his longtime manager Juan Martinez, and gives credit to
his staff Adolfo Martinez, Roberto Martinez, Refugio Escobar and Cathy Cologna for its success. Every year Triple AAA Ranch
is honored nationally, with the Bloodhorse. The operation has received the Arizona Breeder of the Year Award 27 times and
again it is an honor to present Richard Owens and his family with this award. ◆

Aware won her last start in an allowance race by 7 1/4 lengths. She
was fit an poised to challenge for the lead in this dash. She broke well
and battled head to head with Haveyouseenmydaddy, then shook
clear entering the stretch and remained clear under a driving finish
under Jockey Scott Stevens. Idling broke out and then dropped back
in to the rail, she moved out some then finished steadily while only
second best. Don Schnell trained both Aware and Idling, both horses
were bred by Dennis Weir.
Fascinating Dixie was three deep entering the turn and raced four
wide as she made a bid entering the lane, lacked the need kick to
catch the winner. Lazy Daisy May was the morningline favorite
for this race. She had a bit of bad racing luck at the start of the race
as she rared in the gate just as the Starter kicked the latch open. She
spotted the field about six lengths, but made a tremendous charge at
the quarter pole, finishing fifth. The Stewards posted the inquiry
sign concerning the start of the race, but declared Lazy Daisy May a
starter and there was no change in the order of finish.

three wide along the back stretch. He drew away from Silvanus and extended his lead to win handily under the careful hands of Jockey Kelly Bridges. Silvanus was unhurried
early, saved ground and made a bid off the rail racing out
of the turn, but was no match for the winner. F D Icy drew
off early to set the pace with a clear lead, fell back into
the turn, leveled off but held safely for the third position.
Easy Hit settled off the pace while saving ground, moved
up inside to challenge, but was checked entering the turn,
dropping back and steadily faded from contention Wildcat

THOROUGHBRED
BREEDERS
ASSOCIATION
The A.T.B.A. was organized in 1967 as a non-profit organization
“dedicated to the betterment of the Thoroughbred industry in the
State of Arizona”. Since 1967 the Arizona Thoroughbred Breeders
Association has had an influence on almost all aspect of racing laws
and regulations which has benefitted all horsemen running in the
State of Arizona.
The goal of the Arizona Thoroughbred Breeders Association
is to serve its membership and to grow into a strong viable
organization with the ability to purchase land and build our own sales
pavilion.
Fifteen directors serving for three years each on a rotating
basis, govern the policy of the Association. The directors also assume
duties during the year such as attending Arizona Racing Commission
meetings and attend legislative matters pertaining to our industry.
The main source of income for the A.T.B.A. is our annual
fall Thoroughbred mixed sale. Consignments come from all over the
western part of the United States. All yearlings that are consigned and
pass through the sale ring become eligible for the A.T.B.A. Spring &
Fall Sales Stakes which are run the following May and October as 2
years old with an estimated purse of $75,000. (May - $25,000 bonus
paid to an Arizona-bred winner, October - $100,000 bonus paid to an
Arizona-bred winner)

Legislation Report
By: Susie Stevens, ATBA Lobbyist
In the Senate budget that was released on March 28, 2014, the Breeders’ Award money
($250,000) was included.
Sec 78. Arizona Department of Racing
FTE positions
Operating lump sum appropriation
Arizona Breeders’ Award
County fairs livestock and
Agricultural promotion
Total appropriation - Department of
Racing
Fund sources:

The amount appropriated to the county fairs livestock and agricultural promotion line item is
for deposit in the county fairs livestock and agricultural promotion fund administered by the
office of the governor.
❖
Arizona Governor signed Senate Bill 1282
for Advance Deposit Wagering.
Senate Bill 1282 for Advance Deposit Wagering (ADW) was signed by Arizona Governor Jan K. Brewer
on May 5, 2014. This was great news for the track owners and horsemen. However, Governor Brewer line-item
vetoed the appropriation, which would have appropriated $1.2 million to the Arizona Breeders’ Award Fund
and County Fair Racing Fund. This veto was expected by the horse breeders as the Governor is trying to marshal resources to fund child safety reform.
Going forward with this new law adds advance deposit wagering for horse and dog racing in our state. The
ADW will allow bettors to place their monies into an account, which will be managed by a third party and
regulated by the Arizona Racing Commission. The owner of the account will be able to place bets on live racing and on simulcast racing telephonically. Note that, internet wagering is prohibited.
Horse owners and breeders were hoping that this alternate form of pari-mutuel wagering could create more
funding for economic growth within the horse farms and horse breeding industry. Until, the ADW is officially
implemented, we will not know what kind of economic stimulus effect it will have.
“Hopefully the ADW provisions will result in additional monies for us and the $250,000 appropriations for the Breeders’
Awards will remain.” .....Quote by Susie Stevens, ATBA Lobbyist
TOP FORTITUDE
WINNING THE LAZARO BARRERA STAKES
$100,500. - GRADE III
Photo courtesy of Benoit Photography
Jockey Kayla Stra aboard Top Fortitude winning her first U.S. Stakes race at Santa Anita.
A
rizona-bred Top Fortitude was the upset winner at
30-1 going into the Lazaro Barrera Stakes on Saturday,
May 10, 2014. The 2011 chestnut colt is owned and
bred by Triple AAA Ranch and is trained by R. Kory Owens.
The gutsy colt paid ($62.20) running the seven furlongs in
1:22.98. Jockey Kayla Stra scored her first American stakes
victory, as she passed Tonito M. trained by Jerry Hollendorfer
in the final strides.
Kory said, they have nominated Top Fortitude to the
$500,000 Los Alamitos Derby this summer. It is to be the
riches race for Thoroughbreds ever offered at the newly
renovated track. The Grade 2 Derby will be run at 1 1/8th
miles in July and is expected to be a little salty as 56 other top
three-years-olds such as California Chrome, Bayern, Candy
Boy Hoppertunity and Dance with Fate are also eligible
to race.
Top Fortitude broke his maiden at Hollywood Park last
November in an impressive debut going 6 1/2 furlongs.
He had missed some training over the winter months and
finished last of 10 horses in an optional claimer going seven
furlongs. This has been an outstanding stakes race for Top
Fortitude and we look forward to seeing him campaign over
the summer months. R. Kory Owens may be pointing him
towards the $100,000 Affirmed Stakes at Santa Anita or the
$500,000 Woody Stephens Stakes at Belmont, New York.
Top Fortitude is out of dam French Debutante (2012 Arizona
Broodmare of the Year) and sired by Top Hit. Their stallion
Top Hit stands under private treaty at the Owens’s Triple AAA
Ranch in Glendale, Arizona. ◆
Best of Racing Luck to Breeder/Owner Triple AAA Ranch

The Finish Line Bar & Grill across
the street from Turf Paradise severed
delicious BBQ food at $10 a plate to
raise money for the Anne Von Rosen
benefit fund. They put together a
small silent auction of donated items
and the bartenders donated their
tip money. Everyone gave generously and enjoyed a night out with
friends, food and drinks.
Dr. Dorothee Kieckhefer developed a
wonderful idea to help raise money for
the Anne Von Rosen medical fund. She
donated a foal, that will be selling at the
2014 ATBA October Sale. Dorothee’s
foal is a chestnut filly with a bit of
chrome on her face and legs.
Dr. Kieckhefer will be donating the sale
proceeds from the foal to Von Rosen’s
medical account. In the mean time, a
naming contest was in effect and the
filly is now officially named “Running
for Annie”.
Generous breeders, owners and friends
voted with their wallets to name the
foal. This lovely filly is by leading
Arizona sire Margie’s Wildcat out of
a multiple stakes winning mare named
Oklahoma Morn. We are hoping the
buyers will be seeking their own little
piece of “Arizona Chrome”, so to speak,
with the purchase of this gorgeous filly.
Anne Von Rosen had moved to
Colorado to begin her therapy in April
and has since moved back to Germany
with her parents to continue her
rehabilitation process. We wish her well.
Brookerson won the ATBA Sales

Lifetime Achievement Award. Grampa
Roy has his own following of fans in
Arizona and we have enjoyed watching
his racing career unfold. He has started
82 times, with 18 wins under his belt
and has total earnings of $194,852.
Congratulations to Owners Latham and
Filip Racing and Trainer Troy Smith!
It was a great Breeders’ Festival race day
this year. JP Rocker held off long shot
G Faikir to win the 2014 Gene Fleming
Breeders’ Derby. These two colts
went head to head and battled in the
stretch to the finish line. Jockey Scott
Stevens piloted three winners across
the wire. He won on Aware & Enact
for Trainer Don Schnell and Tempe for
Hollendorfer.
Another long shot upset was Frisky
Ricky ridden to victory by Akifumi
Kato. What a wonderful win for the
Kato family. They work hard day in
and day out during the meet. Talk
about a family that works and plays
together (this family does it all).
Congratulations! It was a well deserved
win.
Opening Day at Turf Paradise this
fall has been scheduled for Saturday,
October 18, 2014. The ATBA will be

TURF PARADISE LEADING TRAINER ROBERTINO
DIODORO CAPTURES 1,000th CAREER WIN
O
n March 31, 2014,
Robertino Diodoro
achieved his 1,000 career
win at Turf Paradise. During the
month of March he need three more
winners to meet his goal. Diodoro
had horse’s racing in southern
California and Arizona and said, he
was hoping to reach his milestone in
Arizona, as he now calls Phoenix his
home.
As sure as the sun was shining at
Turf Paradise, Diodoro had three
winners on the Monday card. He
won with Meter Me Gone in the first
race, then won back to back races in
the fifth race with Yes It’s Snowing
and Tribaltique in the sixth.
Prior to capturing 1,000 career wins, Robertino became
Turf Paradise’s “Winningest Trainer.” On Saturday, March
29th, with L.A. Weekend winning the Coyote Handicap,
Diodoro equaled the training record for 104 wins at the meet.
L.A. weekend winning the Coyote Handicap
Soon, Robertino won with Apply and the record was
surpassed. Diodoro, now holds the training record and the
bar is pretty high, I might add. The previous 2012 record was
104 wins and Diodoro ended the meet with 128 wins. He
manages a stable of about 70 head of horses in Phoenix and
has about 28 racing at Santa Anita.
Robertino runs a very sharp and well organized business.
His grooms and horse are all coordinated in the Italian white,
red and green colors, when heading
to the paddock on race day.
My first impression of Robertino
is that he’s clean cut and seems
to be kind of a quite, shy and an
unassuming guy, with a sharp eye for
horses with athletic ability. Although
he seems to be a workaholic due to
having so many operations going on
at the same time, but in different
places...He is happy and loves what
he does for a living. In an interview
with Robertino, I asked him if does
anything fun outside of horse racing.
He told me he’s a big hockey fan,
which wasn’t surprising since he’s
from the hockey capital of the world,
Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He said, he
use to play semi-pro hockey when he was in his twenties. He
played on a team that took him to Tampa, Florida, but horse
racing must have made him hang up his skates.
It’s only the second quarter of the year and Diodoro has
accomplished so much at the meet and in his career. His
family and son Thomas, should be really proud of him.
Having an operation as large as Diodoro’s, its seven day’s a
week, 365 days of the year. It’s probably hard for a guy like
him to take a vacation, so he might as well enjoy winning as
much as he can.
Robertino wrapped up the Turf Paradise meet by winning
the Hasta La Vista Handicap with Mambo Man. The one
mile and seven-eights is the longest turf race in American
racing. Ridden to victory by Geovanni Franco, Mambo Man
lead the field from gate to wire and covered the distance in
3:11.81.
Diodoro was awarded with “Leading Trainer” honors at the
end of the meet and L.A. Weekend was awarded “Sprinter
& Horse of the Meet” (photo to left). Robertino will be in
Minnesota racing at Canterbury Park this summer and will be
back here to race in the fall. ◆
