After being off the track for over 7 months Stephanoatsee returned a winner today at Delaware. I’d forgotten how he ran – a big long stride which seems to take him a while to get into and then, he’s off! Coming to the horse in front of him you could see how big he was […]

Second can sometimes be good
We’ve had a few lately and we are not excited but Proud Pearl’s second today in the Monmouth Oaks (Grade III) was very exciting! This is the best race she’s run so far in the United States and was her first ever Graded Stakes start. The only horse who beat her was the royally bred Wine […]
Sitting Comfortably?
Wonderful video of John Velazquez receiving his induction into the Hall Of Fame. It’s about 20 minutes long but very moving. http://capitalregion.ynn.com/content/the_spa_spot/594812/online-extra–watch-john-velazquez-get-inducted-into-racing-hall-of-fame/{jcomments on}

Snow Fall
I’m amazed she went off at 10/1 in the betting today at Parx but she made a mockery of it by winning her 1 mile race in good fashion. Prior to her previous run she hadn’t raced since last September and having that run under her belt set her up well today. Congratulations to the syndicate […]
State side win for Lelaps
Lelaps arrived from England on June 20th and ran his first race in the US today at Saratoga. He’s been 2nd on heavy ground in England so you know the ground in the rain today was not going to bother him. It was listed as good but seemed to be cutting up quite well in […]
Two winners
Two winners today. Langcita won her maiden race at Presque Isle Downs for George Strawbridge, Jr. He bred her too. Julies’s Love won the De La Rose Stakes at Saratoga to win her first Stake race in the U.S. for Dr. Andreas Jacobs. This was her third win in four races. Congratulations to both owners.{jcomments […]
Toby’s back on track
After a terrific start to the season in some tough races Toby’s Corner lost his way a couple of times but found it again tonight in the Mountainview Handicap. He did it well too by 3 3/4 lengths AND setting a new track record. The track record he broke had stood for 25 years – pretty […]
Smart Bid
Smart Bid won his sixth race tonight, bringing him to within $7,000 of the one million dollar mark. It was his fourth Stake win and the first time running over one mile and a half. Many congratulations to George Strawbridge, Jr, owner and breeder.{jcomments on}
Hitting the road again
It’s another active weekend on tap, as several Herringswell runners will see stakes action. On Saturday, Augustin Stable’s venerable Smart Bid heads to Penn National for the $100,000 East Hanover Stakes going 1-1/2 miles on the turf. The son of Smart Strike continues to close in on $1 million in earnings; he is currently at […]
