Dear Partners and Friends,

As is our custom we provide some algorithm input on which horses can get the distance in the Preakness.

Dear Partners and Friends,

I learned from Bob Baffert this a.m. that IRISH FREEDOM has gone back to the track as of yesterday! IRISH developed a serious infection immediately following the Santa Anita Derby (undoubtedly coming down with it during the Derby) and it took a long while to get his blood counts back to normal.

Dear Partners and Friends,

It's true, Donegal is truly a global operation this week.

First a quick look back:

DONEGAL MOON made a very solid return to the races and Todd Pletcher was quite happy with him. 86 Beyer sprinting was very encouraging.

Dear Partners and Friends,

Action indeed.

KEEN ICE

Below is a video of ICE's breeze yesterday when he dusted Neolithic, the third place finisher in the Pegasus. Words aren't really needed to confirm what the video/bullet shows you.

Dear Partners and Friends,

It is indeed time for a Derby Prep! ARKLOW will run in the TEN KENTUCKY DERBY POINTS  Grade III La Compte at Fair Grounds Racetrack in New Orleans on Saturday, January 21. Entries will be this Friday, January 13 as entries are taken eight days in advance at Fair Grounds.

Dear Partners and Friends,

Donegal Racing has inked Javier Castellano to ride Keen Ice in the Pegasus.

Dear Partners and Friends,

The twelve million dollar Pegasus on January 28 will have KEEN ICE in the starting gate.

Dear Partners and Friends,

As the holidays approach it is a great time to reflect on names for our DDIX squad of soon to be two year olds.

Dear Partners and Friends,

HARLAN'S HOLIDAY:

KEEN ICE will make a tune up start in the Harlan's Holiday Stakes next Saturday, December 17, at Gulfstream Park. Todd believes he needs a race between now and the TWELVE MILLION DOLLAR PEGASUS for him to be at his best in the big one.

Dear Partners and Friends,

That's right, IRISH FREEDOM is back in training at Los Alamitos in California.
