Top Jumper Paul Harvey Dies Just a few weeks after celebrating his 30th
birthday, the T oroughbred show jumper Paul Harvey died on May 11. He was owned by the Bartko family and Tracy Bartko Magness. Harvey’s accolades are tremendous. He is in the Maryland Horse Show Association Hall of Fame and was the 2006 Chronicle of the Horse Show Jumping Horse of the Year; the only am- ateur horse to ever win this award. As an Ama- teur Owner Jumper, Harvey was a three-time champion at the National Show (1995-1997) and was champion at both the Pennsylvania National Horse Show and the Washington In- ternational Horse Show. He was also a Winter Circuit Champion at both Palm Beach and Ocala in Florida. Harvey came to the Bartko family through
Todd Minikus who was selling the gelding for Martha Hall. He was raced under the name Stand By for News but never won anything. He was retired to the family’s Lake View Farm in Hughesville after his extensive career.

Maryland Company Plays Key Role in Kentucky Derby Broadcast
Broadcast Sports, Inc., based out of Hanover,
played an important role in the broadcast of this year’s Kentucky Derby. T e leading devel- oper and service provider of wireless camera, audio and communication systems, provided an RF infrastructure and wireless technology that extended the NBC coverage beyond just the track and grandstands. BSI used its Intel- ligent Diversity Distributed Receive System throughout Churchill Downs so that view- ers could see more than just the race. Viewers were able to catch glimpses of the track, barns, paddock, betting windows, high-profi le guest seating areas, jockeys’ locker room and winner’s circle.
Black-Eyed Susan, Lady Legends & Preakness Stakes
