Sometimes when you have a top class, precocious two year old they level out at three but it appears Varenka is not that type as she won in hand today at Belmont. She was Stakes placed last year as well as a fast finishing fifth in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. Congratulations to George […]

Tula Wins Again
After her last race when she stumbled badly coming out of the gate and losing the rider Tula made up for it today winning at Churchill. This was her second win and she has only been out of the place spots one time in eight starts; consistent lady. Congratulations to owner and breeder George […]
Nakamura
AK (Animal Kingdom) reigns again through his progeny who are on fire at the moment. The older they get the better they get which makes sense as he was like that too. Today, Nakamura won in a photo finish at Laurel in a race that could have been a little on the short side for […]
Irish Strait Wins Henry S. Clark Stakes
Every time he wins the first thoughts to my mind are ‘what an amazing horse’! A half brother to Irish War Cry, by English Channel, he seems to devour the turf he runs on. This is his third Stake win, has been Stakes placed six times and it is his eighth win overall. Irish Strait […]
Secret Message Wins The Dahlia
She last ran at Keeneland at the Fall meet last year, was given a break at Stone Farm and came back to be pointed for her first race of the season, The Dahlia Stakes at Laurel. She did that and won! Nice when the plan goes to plan. She is a beautiful big, doe eyed […]
Written Word
Jorge Vargus, Jr. watched a hot pace unfold before weaving through horses on Laurel Park’s firm turf course. Written Word proved the best when going clear by 1/2 a length. The chestnut 4 year old filly is owned by Russell Jones Jr and Mrs.P.K. Cooper. Russell was on hand with his daughter Emery for the […]
Still Dreaming
Patiently ridden by Wes Hamilton, Still Dreaming prevailed by a nose to win his second race today at Laurel Park. Shortening up to seven furlongs seemed to be the key for this son of Flatter. Congratulations to owners West Point Thoroughbreds and Chris Larsen
Regally Irish
The three year old chestnut displayed a superb kick down the yielding Aqueduct turf to win the Bridgetown Stakes. Rajiv Maragh rode a very cool race to win by a neck and looked very smart back in the silks of owner, breeder Isabelle de Tomaso. The attractive colt’s dam Irish Score is a half to […]
Rivington Prevails
Clearly the best horse in his race at Penn National today, which was lovely to see in the daylight as they normally have night racing. Rivington dictated the pace in the one mile and one sixteenth race on the dirt; idled in the last sixteenth but took off again when he was challenged by the […]
