Racing Returns in New York!

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 […]

The Effects of The Global Pandemic

Tom Morley Racing Facing covid-19

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 […]

A Productive February

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 […]

Grand Start to 2020

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 […]

Christmas, New Year, and a Productive End to 2019

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 […]

The First Blast of Winter

Tom Morley Racing Bella Rose

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 […]

A Quick Catch Up

Very sorry I’ve been away for such a long time but between the end of Saratoga, getting back to Belmont, taking a short vacation with the family, and then heading straight to Keeneland, it’s been a very busy few weeks. Red Right Hand has been on a winning kick since August 8 when he won […]

Exciting News and Saratoga

Delighted to start this blog with some wonderful family news that Maggie and I have recently discovered we are expecting parents once again. Little Grace is over the moon with the idea of having a baby sibling and keeps trying to talk to the baby through Maggie’s tummy. George, however, is not entirely sure about […]

Summer is Here

Tom Morley Racing Blog

After what felt like nine months of relentless rain, the last couple of months have brought much sunnier weather. But I suppose I do need to start with some sad news and that is that La Moneda’s racing career is over. During a routine canter on the training track at Belmont, she got a hairline […]

Back in New York

Tom Morley Racing blog

It’s nice to be home in New York again. Maggie’s back at work, Grace is back in school at the Anna House, and the horses are all under one roof at Belmont Park. We had a solid end to the Aqueduct spring meet where Oh My Papa ran a very good second in an allowance […]
