Photo by Coady Photography With all the recent press about the late German sire Lomitas siring the female Arc de Triomphe winner, Danedream, as well as many Stakes winners around the world, Sanagas made it another for him today by winning the Sycamore Stakes (Grade III) at Keeneland on the polytrack.  It was originally one […]

What is an article about Graham doing in the Wall Street Journal you might ask?  Certainly not one of my daily rags!  They are doing articles about successful people in different walks of life and how they plie their trades.  For ‘non’ horsepeople they really took an interest and the article shows that they ‘got […]

Both Golden Causeway and Clearance Sale won their respective races at Keeneland and Delaware.  The sun looked lovely at Keeneland, the dreary sky at Delaware not so much!  Congratulations to Live Oak Plantation and Team Valor International for your winners.{jcomments on}

I caught Animal Kingdom sticking his tongue out at a sleeping Toby’s Corner!     Then he has the audacity to look at me as if to say “What”!               From today’s TDN MOTION BIG GUNS ON COMEBACK TRAIL   Sidelined sophomores Animal Kingdom (Leroidesanimaux {Brz}) and Toby’s Corner […]

Sweet Seventeen made our Keeneland meet a beautiful start for Mrs. Debby Oxley who recently lost her wonderful race mare Beautiful Pleasure.  The times were a lot faster than they looked when you watched them running but everyone finished quite leg weary so the polytrack must be riding fast.  Congratulations to Debby Oxley and her […]

A few people had requested photo’s of Better Talk Now in the paddock after arriving home from New Bolton Center last Friday.  For the first few days he went out in the small paddock by the barn and yesterday for the first time he went out with Gala Spinaway in his large paddock.  Everything back […]

That goes for Gala Spinaway as well as Blackie I think.  I went to do the peppermint rounds, as with going to New Bolton every day I’ve been neglecting it and apart from missing doing it, I wanted to see if Blackie acted the same as usual now he’s back.  Yes.  He nickered and turned […]
