          II.  Petitioner’s Advisers                                                  
               Petitioner consulted with various advisers in conducting her           
          thoroughbred horse breeding and racing activities.  She employed            
          a professional breeding manager, professional trainers, and a               
          certified public accountant (CPA).                                          
               Petitioner employed Joseph McMahon (McMahon) as her breeding           
          manager from the time she began her breeding activities in 1982             
          through 1996, the year at issue.  He is the operator of McMahon             
          Farm, located in Saratoga, New York, approximately 255 miles from           
          petitioner’s residence in New Jersey.  McMahon Farm has                     
          approximately 500 acres, boards between 150 and 300 horses, and             
          employs 14 full-time employees year round.  It also occasionally            
          retains the services of varying numbers of seasonal employees.              
          McMahon cared for the day-to-day needs of petitioner’s breeding             
          horses and maintained breeding records for the breeding horses.             
               Petitioner frequently consulted with McMahon and relied upon           
          his advice regarding her thoroughbred horse breeding and racing             
          activities.  He has approximately 90 thoroughbred horse breeding            
          clients.  His farm produced Funny Cide, a gelding who won the               
          Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes in 2003.                            
               Petitioner employed different training managers during the             
          course of her thoroughbred horse breeding and racing activities.            
          These trainers were based in New York, Florida, and South                   
          Carolina.  Petitioner employed trainers in Southern States
