General Information
This winter has been without a doubt the hardest winter I’ve experienced since I’ve lived in New York, with record setting lows, record setting winds, and record setting inches/feet of snow. The weather has been extremely challenging for anyone and everyone who’s involved in horse racing in the state of New York. We’ve lost a […]
Happy New Year and what a December it was for the Morley Barn. Having realised that we were going to round off the year having accomplished a couple of really good milestones for our clients, we actually accomplished a huge milestone for the barn, too. I’m not one to crow about achievements too much but […]
2025 has been a real rollercoaster year. And when I say rollercoaster, that’s not always what I’m looking for, to be perfectly honest. I feel like we’ve been a little spottier in our results than I would’ve liked, but delighted to say that the last month has been exceptional in terms of horses that have […]
Ever since the first week of June, we seem to have had a little bit of a problem with finding the winner’s circle. Take nothing away from the horses, the staff, and the general effort, we have been horrendously unlucky on a number of occasions—including in the photo finish booth for the last four months. […]
Saratoga is a results business, and while we had a wonderful day on the 29th of August, we had a pretty miserable meet in terms of finding our way to the winner’s circle. It was incredibly tough on all of us involved in the barn though, because it wasn’t that we had horses in the […]
The middle of the summer is always a time when the Morley Barn spends a great chunk of the season traveling on the road with horses stabled in Saratoga and Belmont Park. We’ve been going up and down more than usual this year with the Belmont having its second year run in Saratoga, as well […]
May always brings the start of Triple Crown fever with the Derby being run on the first Saturday in May, and what a fantastic race this year’s addition was. As we’ve gone through the three legs of the Triple Crown, it’s become very apparent that there are three above average colts amongst the three-year-old group, […]
It was great to get our Louisiana string of horses back up north in the last week of March. We had planned on having a few horses run at Keeneland on the turf in April following the Fair Grounds meet, but the weather got very unsettled down there towards the beginning of the meet and […]
This winter has been one of the most testing winters I can remember for training horses across the country. We’ve seen extreme weather in New York with an enormously large amount of snowfall and an above average number of cold days. This is what winters used to be like, but in recent times we’ve not […]
2024 was a successful year for the barn, eclipsing prize money earned and number of wins more than any prior year. I am so pleased with the progress that our business is making as a whole and the performance that our team is putting out. Though it was a successful year for us, it was […]
