After a couple of ‘near-misses’ With Honorandgrace finally got her win today at Belmont.  Congratulations to Live Oak Plantation.{jcomments on}

Originally we were disappointed that we couldn’t get on the Monday or Tuesday flights – but in retrospect!  Both photo’s were taken by Alice on her phone and Animal Kingdom is a little far away but you get the picture! Animal Kingdom               Kitten’s Point         […]

Yes, General Logan has now won three out of four starts, the last three being wins.  I was quite amused by the comments in the chart ‘responded when displaced on the second turn’ as I can just imagine what he was thinking.  Can’t think he’d be too happy with someone trying to get the better of him!  […]

Apparently he did it rather nicely!  He looks so happy too which is wonderful to see.  Photos courtesy of Wendy Wooley/EquiSport Photos Also a link from the Bloodhorse about the work Animal Kingdom workmanlike in breeze                                   {jcomments on}

won her first race today at Delaware Park.  I noticed yesterday afternoon she was flat out asleep in her stall,{jcomments on} so obviously charging her batteries!  Congratulations to Airdrie Stud, owners and breeders.

My Meadowview LLC’s homebred son of A.P. Indy – Oatsee (Unbridled) – he is a half-brother to Shackleford – bested a game Adirondack King by 3/4 length, with […]

The […]

Team Valor International’s Capitan Futuro (GB) won his U.S. debut today at Keeneland with a score in a 1-1/2 mile turf allowance.  With Julien Leparoux up, the gray gelding took a bit of time to swap his lead down the stretch but then found another gear and powered away to win by 2-1/2 lengths.   […]

The saying goes – an inch is as good as a mile.  It was the case yesterday when Kitten’s Point just missed winning the Jessamine Stakes (Grade III) at Keeneland.  She ran wider than the winner and came with a late run to just miss.  The photo seemed to take forever to determine and both […]
