In her second start as a 4-year-old, Flaxman Holding’s Aruna made it 4-for-5 under the Herringswell flag when she captured the Grade III $100,000 Along Stakes for fillies and mares. Aruna kicked off her season in the G II Turf Distaff Mile at Churchill Downs on May 7 with a second place finish. Under Ramon […]

Not very good English but that’s how I felt after today’s race.  Racing luck is so annoying.  I know I’m rather biased but I feel strongly that Animal Kingdom was the best horse in the Preakness and again in today’s Belmont.  Look how far back he was in the Preakness after backing off the dirt […]

That is how Witor’s name is pronounced.  He’s from Germany and the W is pronounced as a Y.  Of course everyone calls him as it’s written but the owner told me this is the correct name!  Anyway, Witor won his race at Colonial Downs last night in the 96 degree heat (at 7:45pm) at night!  […]

Animal Kingdom’s Kentucky work buddy won his own race yesterday at Churchill.  Always playing the bridesmaid role (if you can call it that) to Animal Kingdom in his breezes it was a nice change for him I expect not to be looking for him – or at him!  Well done Meistersinger and congratulations to Team […]

Joe Clancy of the Steeplechase Times is still here every day so he thought he’d carry on the blog on our two Derby horses.  Good stuff! http://www.st-publishing.com/cms2/

Ivy Connection finally managed to break his maiden in his seventh race today at Presque Isle Downs.  He’d been second a couple of times and just plain unlucky a couple of times.  Congratulations to Namcook Stable.{jcomments on}

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa.  Makes you want to break out in song!  Today was her fifth win, first for us, at Philadelphia Park.  Congratulations to Team Valor for this German bred filly.{jcomments on}

Julie Ziek kindly said we could use her link to some really cool photo’s she took of Preakness day and the Herringswell barn, etc. http://www.flickr.com/photos/26743275@N03/sets/72157626796201106/{jcomments on}

Sillium has found a new home on the grass it seems.  His first run a few weeks ago was with Trevor McCarthy, finishing second and yesterday he found the winners circle.  He is now a winner on both dirt and turf.  Congratulations to Augustin Stables, owner and breeder.{jcomments on}

Crimson China won the Lamplighter Stakes at Monmouth.  Animal Kingdom’s next door roommate (he’s sandwiched in between Crimson China and Gypsy’s Warning), bided his time at the back of the field while the front runners ran a punishing half mile in 0:45.2.  Alan Garcia swooped him around the turn and he went into another gear […]
