Dear Partners and Friends, Danny Boy draws post 14 out of 14. Not the best.....will have to run extra ground and avoid getting stuck wide in first turn. Puca draws post 8 out of 12. Just fine. She can move over and find a spot in the first shelf behind...

Dear Partners and Friends, Just in from Bill Mott at Belmont: PUCA worked four furlongs in 47 flat and galloped out in a minute flat. He could not have been happier with the work. This work was merely the fastest of all 91 who worked the distance today at Belmont Park....

Dear Partners and Friends, It is a little like watching your kids change from boys and girls to men and women. The changes in Danny Boy in just a short period of time are amazing. Bigger, stronger, more confident. Talk about moving forward! This morning, Danny Boy drew oohs and...

Dear Partners and Friends, Okay, we have a lot of work to do today and I'm not talking about filling out your brackets. Of course we know who Michela and Amanda will pick.  Later today you will get the first of four installments from our visit to Elloree this past Saturday...

Dear Partners and Friends, Dr. Keogh's jockey...(Cornelio Velasquez proving I do have dementia) said he absolutely hated the grass. Couldn't grab it. So, back to the dirt where he worked well. We'll either find out he is meant for dirt or not meant for us. Sooner the better, either way.Which...

SIXTEEN. This filly, who we bought because of the significant long term broodmare value, just stamped herself...

Dear Partners and Friends, As you can see from the article linked below, PUCA earned a Thoroughbred Daily News "Rising Star" award for her performance today. We also learned that she will be made one of the low priced favorites for the Oaks futures in the overseas books near term. A...
