I’m in Lexington on vacation for a few days but it seems there is a lot of news to catch up on, so here goes! Lunar Pass – head in front at the wire! Pendulum won yesterday at Delaware Park and we had a double at Keeneland today with Lunar Pass and Unbridled Humor, Unbridled […]

I always pronounce it like one does ARUBA!  Second Stakes winner of the day.  This time it was Aruna winning the Pebbles Stakes at Belmont, capably ridden by Ramon Dominguez.  The Manager for Flaxman Holdings, Tim Richardson was at the races with his wife so a wonderful day for them in New York to greet […]

Gypsy’s Warning was third in the Yellow Ribbon Stakes (Grade I) at Hollywood Park yesterday.  This was her second third in her last two Grade I starts and she had previously been third in a Grade I start in her native South Africa.  The elusive win will come I’m sure!  It was a very competitive race […]

Media Madness won her first race from a really wide draw (which is what we seem to have got from Laurel so far this meet).  The nicely bred filly by Empire Maker out of a Storm Cat mare could have liked either surface but this was grass and it met her approval!  Congratulations to Ralphy Meahjohn […]

Another of our “Miss Consistent’s” won her second race yesterday.  Taking A Chance has only been out of the first three twice in ten starts for Debbie Easter and Susan Shipp.  Her win yesterday was on the dirt but she has run just as well on the turf.  Congratulations.{jcomments on}

My name for Check The Label who won the Garden City Stakes (Grade I) this afternoon at Belmont. Running for the first time in the Lael silks she didn’t disappoint. It also brings her into the elite as she is only the second favorite to win this race since 2004. She looked a picture and […]

Another of our long time barn favorites left yesterday to go to a fabulous new home! Stakes winning Jade’s Revenge is now seven and his owner Brent johnson decided that although he was still going strong he probably wasn’t going to make it competitively until age ten as his other horse Better Talk Now did!!
