Messi ran a little more settled than in his past races and came from last to first to snatch the Grade III Knickerbocker Stakes from the front running outsider. One of the coolest horses in the barn this was his third win in four races since coming Stateside from Germany. Last time out in the […]

Supersized Soldier
Little love is very well named. She probably doesn’t stand more than 15 hands high but she’s a trier and won her first race today at Delaware Park over 1m 70yds on the turf. Trevor McCarthy got a good run on the rail and off she went. Congratulations to Hawks Hill Farm.
Kitten’s Point
I’m disappointed to say that I’ve been issued a ruling by the Kentucky Racing Commission for a medication positive with Kitten’s Point at Keeneland in April. Kitten’s Point tested above the legal limit for methocarbamol, a muscle relaxant, after her win in the Bewitch Stakes. Also known as Robaxin, the medication is considered a controlled […]
Tin Type Gal wins Mills Grillo (Grade III)
In just her third start Tin Type Gal stepped up in a tough fought race to win the Miss Grillo Stakes (Grade III) at Belmont. With the inside horse not making it easy for her she dug in to the wire. Congratulations to My Meadowview Farm LLC who owned and bred this filly by Tapit […]
Photo Call wins Rodeo Drive (Grade 1)
A blistering hot California day didn’t slow Photo Call down in the slightest. Since coming over from Ireland this time last year she has run consistently in Graded Stakes races, nearly always placed and finally pinning one down in her last, the Grade III Violet. Today she made it into the top class ranks in […]

Sitting in fourth place after Friday afternoon’s dressage phase, Icabad […]
Future Show
Half sister to our very smart recently retired Graded Stakes winner Daring Dancer, Future Show was a good second first time out at Saratoga and followed up today with a good win at Belmont, quite comfortably. Congratulations to owners and breeders Sagamore Farm.
Exciting – three winners today……..
My Senses ran her heart out today to win her maiden race at Parx that carried incredible prize money! By Street Sense out of a mare who herself is by Mr. Strawbridge’s late homebred stallion Crowd Pleaser, John Velazquez made the trip from New York to ride her. Congratulations to Mr. Strawbridge. Rusty Slipper traveled […]
Jolene
Although she’s run well on both surfaces Jolene perhaps has a preference for dirt as she won her second race on it yesterday. She had previously been second on dirt in her very first start. Having said that, she’s been placed every time bar one on the grass too! Lovely to be able to have […]
