Trinity

Another horse who has knocked on the door so many times – five to be exact but he got his win today in good fashion at Monmouth.  Ridden patiently and confidently by Jorge Vargas, Jr. and congratulations to owners Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners and Ronald Frankel. As you can see from the photo, he’s a gorgeous […]

Conducive

You know how some races you feel you are riding to the wire with the jockey?  Today was one of those days with Conducive.  With the race being off the turf everyone got really strung out as the leaders started to fade, Conducive started making up ground, getting to the rail, we were all pushing […]

Tobago

Nice win at Presque Isle last night by Tobago.  This was her third start, the first two on turf and dirt.   A lot of horses seem to like the Presque Isle Tapeta and unusually for George Strawbrdge, Jr. Tobago is not a home-bred but a filly he bought at the sales with her lovely breeding […]

Saintly Samurai On Top Again

After his nice win at Keeneland a couple of starts back Saintly Samurai duplicated that effort today at Laurel with a comfortable three and a half length win  He was the second longest price on the board, what were they thinking?!    Lightly raced, having only his sixth start and now age four, he has had […]

Gala Spinaway

We lost our beloved 31 year old Gala Spinaway today.    He was fine first thing and went downhill quite quickly.  Thankfully the vets, assistants and Anita were there and it was all very peaceful for him.   He was certainly one of the lucky ones, starting his career with Bernie Bond with Graham taking him on […]

Style Icon

Pretty remarkable race record in the fact she was either second of third in six of her seven starts but eventually she got to first place yesterday at Belmont.  She seemed to like the yielding ground and was confidently ridden by John Velazquez.  Congratulations to owner and breeder Stewart Armstrong.

Your Out’s Forever Home

Closer Look

Three previous runs under his belt, all this year as he was a late starter and his fourth race today was a four and three quarter length win.  Feargal Lynch, fresh back from a stint in Florida was in the irons for the win.  Congratulations to owner Kaleem Shah.

Our second winner yesterday was winning her first race.  She had previously been second and third a few times on the turf but last nights Tapeta did the trick.    From a Stakes winning family this win put another feather in their cap.  Congratulations to owner Gainesway Stable (Antony Beck)

Desert Isle

New track record holder – About One Mile And Seventy Yards On The Turf Track Record:(Desert Isle – 1:39.79 – May 27, 2019) at Delaware Park.    As you can imagine she didn’t hang around to get her head in front soon after the start and set the pace.    Tough girl and very proud of her.  […]
