racing records, and racing earnings. Petitioner used The Blood
Horse Stallion Register to decide which horses to breed and which

would make them successful. He decided which vitamins and
minerals to use, mixed them, and sent them to the trainers to

showing which vitamins or minerals he gave to each of his horses
or the nutrition and diet of each horse.

and breeding activity. He attended horse auctions to buy and
sell horses. He talked to breeders and visited the farms in
Kentucky and tracks in New Jersey where he stabled some of his
horses. Petitioner sometimes went to the New Jersey facilities
each week, but usually he went less often. Petitioner reviewed
mail that he received relating to his horse racing and breeding
activity.
Kuta prepared and petitioner signed checks to pay bills for
his horse racing and breeding activity. He signed all checks
relating to the activity and reviewed all of the track purse and
race results.
