Multiple graded stakes winning Finnegans Wake called upon his considerable class as he overcame a slow pace to win Thursday’s $65,000 Santa Anita allowance feature by a half length under Flavien Prat. Conditioned by Peter Miller, the long fused 7-year-old full horse by Powerscourt covered a mile and one eighth on turf in 1:52.18. 

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,

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.

Hi Team,

I hope this email finds everyone well. There is a lot going on in the next few weeks so let's get to it.

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,
