Conspirer eventually got in done!  She won her race at Monmouth today on the turf.  She’s tried all three surfaces and the drop in level today at Monmouth was what she wanted.  Congratulations to Isabelle de Tomaso who saw her last week while she was over visiting from Italy.  

This is an incredibly well-written and candid interview with Jonathan Sheppard and a MUST read: Sheppard on Love, Loss and Winning    

AK arrived in Australia yesterday and below are links from HRTV (video) and the Daily Racing Form.  The DRF list some of the top class marres who are visiting him this year.  Still miss him, especially when you see video of him again!! HRTV Daily Racing Form    

I was sent a video of Belvoir going through his dressage paces at the Middleburg Show recently.  I know very little about dressage but he looks happy, is listening to the rider and moving well.  Another successful transition from racetrack to ‘another job’ by Emily Siegrist. Belvoir dressage    

Trish Bosley has Baron Slew who she’s getting ready for Stuart Pittman’s Thoroughbred Makeover.  Although he’ll appear at the Makeover this year he’s been given extra time due to a couple of foot issues when he came off the track, but already he’s come so far.  This is only his third time of being ridden […]

Both Helm and Air Alaska won last night at Presque Isle.  Air Alaska won her previous race up there so is now 2 for 2 on their Tapeta.  Helm reared up in the gate last time and didn’t have the best of breaks so we didn’t count his first race!  Congratulations to George Strawbridge, Jr. […]

Rapscallion did not seem to be fancied at all in the betting today but he turned it all around by rousting the field by 2 1/4 lengths.  Unfortunately Mr. Sullivan was stuck in traffic so didn’t get to the races but sent a note to say thank you and how pleased he was.  Many congratulations. […]

More Than Sweet won her second race out of four starts on a hot and humid day at Delaware Park yesterday.  The temperature on the chart reads 94 degrees!  Matt Rispoli picked up the ride as Jeremy was a little sore from a fall he had, so congratulations to Matt and Pin Oak Stud, owners […]

Independent George was one of our favorite, quirky characters.  He has a wonderful new home and today he made the Paulick Report!  Fantastic. Independent George    

Last night both Grip Hands and Forward Thinker won their races.  Forward Thinker is now 2 for 2 there this year.  He ran there once last year and was second.  Grip Hands also ran there once last year and won.  Both of them obviously like it!  Congratulations to owners West Point Thoroughreds and George Strawbridge, […]
