Molly Hannum, one of our exercise riders made the Fair Hill weekly newsletter this week!  I meant to take photo’s too but of course didn’t get around to doing it.  Molly always wears her hat around this time of the year – she also has a St. Patricks’ Day hat, an Easter hat……..!{jcomments on}

Philosopher Queen jumped up very well in class yesterday to run away with her race at Tampa Bay Downs by six lengths.  Tampa always has a wonderful turf track as they have an underground watering system and since this is the first time she’d run on the turf since a disastrous start at Kentucky Downs on […]

I was so wrapped up in pre-Christmas I forgot to mention that Dandy Waltz won on Thursday evening at Penn National.  Sorry Dandy!  Congratulations to Priscilla Graham.{jcomments on}

Not totally unheard of I know but as it was with one of his own horses it’s great!  Rockabella Song won a six furlong race at Penn National in a VERY late race last night – 9th at 9.47pm!  Congratulations to Graham.{jcomments on}

Came Of Age stretched out from six furlongs in her last race to one mile and one sixteenth today. It made a big difference as she won! Congratulations to Airdrie Stud.{jcomments on}

Sometimes in life, it is the quiet, unassuming person who really shocks you. In Graham Motion’s case, he stunned the racing world twice on its grandest stage. Motion’s first jaw-dropper came in 2004, when Better Talk Now defeated eventual champion turf male Kitten’s Joy to win the John Deere Breeders’ Cup Turf (G1) at Lone […]

Barry Irwin saw first-hand the positive impact life at tranquil Fair Hill Training Center in Fair Hill, Maryland had on Team Valor International’s Gypsy’s Warning (SAf) and Daveron (Ger). Irwin, co-founder and chief executive officer of Team Valor, also wanted to consolidate his stable with one trainer. He thought he found the perfect match in […]

Hopefully we can all breathe now! To have yet another Graded Stakes winner this month, having already won a Grade I and a Grade II in the space of a couple of weeks was almost too much to ask for, but Gypsy’s Warning came through this evening at Hollywood Park in the Grade I Matriarch […]

for Dianne Cotter and her horse Toby’s Corner.  She told me that herself and her family were going to watch and I’m sure they had as much of a thrill as she did to see him win by 10 3/4 lengths!  From the first crop of Bellamy Road, Toby ran once before to finish third at Delaware […]
