Dr. Garcia called and he continues to be pleased with Blackie’s progress. He has not refluxed in a while and they are starting to increase his feed to see how he tolerates it. They are doing more blood work today to make sure that is still balanced. He spoke also of release maybe next week? It makes […]

Mini update
Actually went by myself as Mary Jo was busy! Much more relaxed today and I would say ‘melancholy’, again making the most of his window. Even though he’s started back on feed they keep the muzzle on in between – which he was trying to get off on me! He’d been out walking a couple […]
Better Talk Now
Better Talk Now, our 2004 Breeders Cup Turf winner was taken to New Bolton Center on Tuesday afternoon. I was trying to think how to write in layman’s terms his condition but Dr. Castro sent the following which sums it up: Better Talk Now has a gastrointestinal problem that does not allow normal function of […]
Unbridled Humor
Photo by Adam Coglianese The thought came to me while I was sitting there watching Ramon sit there on Unbridled Humor – thoughts of Blackie! He was being very patient with her – if she wanted to move forward, fine, if she wanted to stop, that was fine too! The starters even had to push her […]
Two winners
While Inspeight was winning her first race at Delaware, Slew’s Answer was winning his fourth race from six starts. One of the times he was second, only just beaten for first. He came to us with the ‘difficult’ tab but training in the fields at Fair Hill suits him fine! Congratulations to Mineola Farm and […]
Master Shade
Having come from Italy (via Germany) Master Shade tallied her wins to two from four races in the United States. A good filly in Italy she had gate issues so was sent to Germany to some other owners of ours to learn the Monty Roberts way of dealing with gate nervousness. We still school her […]
Champagne Dancer
Not having run for a couple of months didn’t deter Champagne Dancer from winning yesterday at Laurel! Sitting just off the pace she took over in the stretch and went on to win in her first try in allowance company. Congratulations to Waratah Thoroughbreds.{jcomments on}
Shared Account’s baby sister
Her half-sister by Bernadini sold for 1.2 million dollars yesterday at the Keeneland sale. She looks so like Shared Account. Below is the article in the Thoroughbred Daily News: Shared Account’s sister sells for 1.2m {jcomments on}
Lift off!
Three, two, one, we have lift off! That’s how it seemed with Gypsy Lou in her last three races which eventually worked out yesterday at Delaware. Every race has been on the dirt and yesterday’s race should have been on the turf. It came ‘off’ but she got it done. She has run six times […]
Nice day!
Very much improved She Be Classy won her second stake yesterday at Delaware Park, this being her third win from her last four starts too. She really seems to run well for Jeremy Rose although she has been ridden by a couple of other jockeys in her seven wins. Congratulations to Mike and Nancy Mazzoni. I’m […]
