Dear Partners and Friends,

I am sorry for going radio silent on you for the past week. The respiratory ailment I brought back from Dubai kicked me arse. I ended up in the E.R. at the Mayo Clinic a week ago and am finally turning the corner.

Good Morning,

Donegal Moon (DD VII) has been entered in the 10th race at Keeneland today. It is the Blue Grass S. (I) for three-year-olds going 1 1/8 miles. He has drawn post position 2 of 14 and will be ridden by Martin Garcia. The purse is $1,000,000 and post time is 6:00 p.m. EDT.

Dear Partners and Friends,   Saturday sent out Keen Ice in Dubai and Patrick's Day in Tampa. We won half of our races which is a damned good average but boy did we win the wrong one. Other way around would have been a swing of about six million dollars...

Dear Partners and Friends, It is early morning here in Dubai and I just watched Keen Ice come off the track. He and Tammy are an absolute picture out there. It is clear Ice is peaking and a return to his best form can put him right in the mix...

Dear Partners and Friends, We interrupt the horse talk long enough to say that Des Moines is pleased to have accomplished what Indiana has failed to be able to: Get Kentucky to play them. Now we see why. Coach Calimari was the perfect appetizer course for this year's tournament. Now back...

Dear Partners and Friends, Okay, I know it is the Kentucky Derby Trail, not road, but you get the idea. Donegal Moon has stamped himself a Derby contender with his extraordinary performance at PARX and now will be pointed to the Grade I Bluegrass Stakes, won by our very own Dullahan...

Dear Partners and Friends, Amnesia? The only cure for February 6.   Rock Shandy hated the grass. Back to dirt for him. Paddy O'Prodigy (Indiana bred) is just overmatched here in Florida and it was a mistake to bring him down here. We will send him to Elloree and then...

Dear Partners and Friends, The annual Donegal Handicapping tournaments begin in two weeks on February 20 with the first of the 50 points Preps, the Risen Star.On Thursday morning of race weeks we will send you the PP's for the race/s once available and you must turn in your selections...

Dear Partners and Friends, Keen Ice, (training PERFECTLY), has been entered in Saturday's $500,000 Grade I Donn Handicap. The Donn is Race 13 at 5:53 p.m. EDT. Ice drew the #6 hole in the starting gate (PERFECT). Ice will be ridden by Javier Castellano who rode Ice to victory in...

Dear Partners and Friends, Another big day this Saturday for Donegal as Donegal Moon goes to post in the Grade III, TEN DERBY POINTS, Wither's Stakes (oh yeah, and $250,000). Moon is #1 in the seven horse field. Click the link below to view the PPs. As you can see...
