It’s not just in New York that we’ve been dealing with strange weather this year as we’ve seen Oaklawn have two feet of snow and have to cancel their Southwest card twice, and even as far south as Louisiana has had frost delay training and present problems for turf runners. The whiteout in New York […]
We signed off 2020 in really solid fashion and nothing gave me more pleasure than being able to sit at home with my family to watch a couple of our horses run really well. On December 18, Flashing Red took another step forward off the claim. This is a filly we claimed for $20,000 at […]
With turf season coming to an end in New York, we moved 10 horses down to Fair Grounds Race Course and are set for a relatively busy December. I was very pleased to see Joqular run first time on the turf down here on December 5; she ran an excellent third in an Allowance race. […]
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 […]
