Dear Partners and Friends,

That's right we are back again! We just purchased Hip #257, a colt by Tiznow out of a mare by Pulpit. How is the breeding? Well, this colt's mother is a full sister to TAPIT! Not a misprint. TAPIT. 

Dear Partners and Friends,

Yesterday we learned that IRISH FREEDOM sustained an injury to his P-1 also know as his Proximal Phalanx or "long pastern bone".

Dear Partners and Friends,

The next 30 days will be, dare I say, HUGE for Donegal Racing!

Here are the specifics:

Dear Partners and Friends,

FINAL WEEK AT SARATOGA

We have rooms available from now to the end of the meet on Labor Day. Please let us know if you want to come stay.

Dear Partners and Friends,

Remember this email headline from last Tuesday: Better Week Ahead! 

Dear Partners and Friends,

As the horses in Finn's race approached the first turn in yesterday's race they were going so slow the race announcer said, "Molasses could be leading this group." And he was right. I thought Finn had no hope and that was even BEFORE he had to go five wide turning for home.

Dear Partners and Friends,

Last weekend was a great weekend of horse racing at Belmont. What a card! The performances were incredible in some of the races, though not so much in the Belmont Stakes where the winning horse, Creator, again failed to post a 100+ Beyer. 

Dear Partners and Friends,

Patrick's Day gave us an A effort today and that, along with a perfect ride by Miguel Mena, equaled the WIN at Churchill Downs. Patrick beat some nice horses and is showing signs of being a financially productive part of our stable.

Dear Partners and Friends,

Another Derby in the books. We like to think of them as "official" Derby's (the ones where we have a horse in the race) and unofficial Derby's. The two are so different.

Dear Partners and Friends,

With many of the Donegal faithful watching on television at Churchill Downs and many more watching around the country, Brother O'Connell just did a very nice job in winning at Belmont and beating a very nice horse of Chad Brown's and another trained by Christophe Clement.
