Despite the inclement weather and several races coming off the turf, October was a productive month with our horses running strong through the Belmont meet. It was very pleasing to see Joqular, a filly we claimed in Saratoga, break her maiden by 6 ½ lengths first off the claim in a race that came off […]
First of all, I want to congratulate both major sales companies, Fasig-Tipton and Keeneland, for providing extremely safe environments for buyers at their sales in Lexington last month. The health protocols in place and the fact that only buyers were allowed onto the sales grounds made for a dramatically smaller crowd and really put safety […]
While the meet at Saratoga had started off relatively in good form with the horses running well, it was beginning to get a little frustrating not to get off the mark. Once again Xanthique proved to be an incredibly versatile and very, very talented filly as she won on August 13 at Saratoga. She’s a […]
I ended the last blog briefly touching on Xanthique’s win over the Belmont lawn and I want to expand on that. She was very impressive in her second start of the year, winning an allowance race on June 28. I took a little bit of a risk running this filly back so quickly. We gave […]
We’re back! This is just brilliant, after an incredibly dark period where we went through a lot of ups and downs with the horses and not knowing what we were doing as an industry going forward or when we would see the resumption of live racing, I can safely say that having held the Belmont […]
It was great to round out the Fair Grounds meet with a victory on March 15 from Duncastle, who turned out to be our last runner for a significant amount of time due to the global pandemic. Covid-19 has hit the entire world extremely hard and has affected an enormous amount of businesses. Unfortunately, and […]
February was a productive month on the racetrack. We saw many turf horses make their way back to the barn and added some new names as well. On February 6, Inside Risk ran second in race 3 at Aqueduct and new claim California Night followed up in race 4 with a career best second, first […]
January proved to be a bookend month for winners with victories at the Fair Grounds and Aqueduct at both the beginning and end of the month. As can often be the case with some of these claiming horses, we took a bit of a hit on the 19th and 20th of the month when we […]
December was a busy enough month considering a lot of our turf horses had been turned out for the winter. We opened our Fair Grounds division by sending a handful of horses down to New Orleans on December 1 and have had a very productive start to the meet. We will come back to that […]
Temperatures have started to drop and our tack has once again moved to Aqueduct for the meet. Prior to the move, we wrapped up the Belmont meet with a win in an off-the-turf race. Pipes, a horse we claimed in Saratoga and a son of Exchange Rate and Introvert (by Smarty Jones), won on October […]
