    Although I ‘ve only seen two of the races this weekend, I have to say that Arklow’s was maybe the toughest. He had an extremely hard go of it mainly due to traffic jams where he had to steady, but he still managed to get 2nd. I also was a bit sorry to see
    that Got Stormy only got 6th in her race. It just wasn’t her day.

      Kudos to Dr. Langlois who is absolutely correct about revocation of licenses.
      I hope more facilities will follow Team Valor’s example and not run their horses in Delaware. These racing commissions need to grow backbones and do the right thing by the horses.
      Thanks for this Paulick follow-up regarding the Cobb case.

        Yes, kudos to all who have spoken out to protect this innocent horse.

        Now the Del Stewards have issued a summary suspension against Cobb. She has until today to appeal.

        Social media was on the side of the horse and played a big role in seeking justice for this innocent horse. The commissioners must be totally clueless about twitter. Anyway…oh…wait….

        Stronach Group has BANNED this person Cobb from their facilities. Bravo!

        • Dear Marshall, Ann and Z Fans:

          Ann, wonderful news. Hope more racing commissions and tracks ban her totally as well. Love and Hugs, JB

        • Dear Ann and Judy,
          This is wonderful news indeed. Kudos to the Stronach Group! I also hope other facilities will follow suit.
          Thanks for the update.
          Hugs and Love ?

    Dear Zenyatta and family,
    Hope all is well with you and that the weather has moderated some where you are. Can’t believe it’s September already, and I can hardly wait for the
    high humidity to get out of here!
    Wishing you good health, happiness and love, always❣️
    Still look forward to hearing from you, sweet girl. ❤️
    Hugs and Love

      Dear Judy,
      Thanks for those photos.
      Yep, that’s a curly mane on both — and on young War Front. Somehow I
      missed that until now.

    Hi all,
    Off topic brag, but some of you have been following my little vizsla pup, Rosey. Daughter of Pepper. She went to her first dog shows this weekend, 4 shows. She was entered in 4-6 month puppy class, not qualifying for points, but for practice for the young pups. She did well the first 3 shows, a bit leary of the other dogs (they aren’t RED!) the barking and PA system blasting. But on the 4th day the light bulb went on, she figured it all out, and won BEST BEGINNER PUPPY IN SHOW!!!! I am so proud of her, gaited beautiful, stood and held her stack when asked. Even let the judge “go over” her without jumping up to lick his face! So, perhaps her first of many Best in Show awards!!!!
    Proud mama Pepper won one of the days, also.

    War Front kids are indeed absolutely adorable. Congrats to Rosie. Feather hasn’t quite got the hang of her buttons yet, but to be fair, for various reasons I have missed a day or two. Is it just me or is it time to start getting more than a little worried about Zenny and her kids? Has anybody heard anything? about them. May everyone both two and four footed or hooved have a lovely day and beautiful night. Hugs to all.

    Dear Z Fans:

    While we await news of Z and the kids, you may find these articles on top trainers and their charges fun and interesting to read. The first one is Rosie’s husband, Joe Sharp. Love and Hugs, JB

    YAY! I was thrilled to hear about Coz being in the Take 2 event during the Kentucky Horse Show. Now if we could just get a bit of news about Zenny, Ziconic, Zellda and Zilka. Best wishes and good luck to all of them.

    Rest in Peace, Baltimore Bucko.
    In Race 1, the William Entenmann Memorial today there was an accident involving Baltimore Bucko and Perfect Tapatino at one of the hurdles. I didn’t see it happen (thank goodness), but Perfect Tapatino was caught by the outriders and both jockeys were okay. However, I think I heard them say that Baltimore Bucko was euthanized.
    Haven’t found any details. Poor Bucko, I’m so sorry. ?

    Happy Friday everyone. As there is never a dull moment in the life of our Hovis, the owner of his “yard “ (which I guess is the stable where he lives) has decided to retire. Desperate search for new digs ensues.

    Big weekend of racing at Churchill and Woodbine. The babies are starting to enter the scene. If you get the BloodHorse daily newsletter, there is a nice article about one of the colts raised at Mill Ridge that many of us have followed on their virtual tours and loved – the Pistol! He was sold yesterday at Keeneland for a nice price. We will miss him as he starts the next phase of his life ❤️

      Dear Sandy:

      Thanks for our Friday Hovis update. Hope our boy approves of Mum’s choice of his new digs. Sure he’ll have plenty to say about it.

      Godspeed to gorgeous “Pistol” as he begins his new life in training. We have to look for his racing name so we can follow him. Love and Hugs, JB

      Dear Sandy,
      Thanks for the Hovis visit! Oh my, I hope Mum finds just the right place for Hovis and “the little blond one”. Sorry that Bob won’t be in the yard anymore though.
      Wow, The Pistol is off to California and training! He will be missed by many fans and by Mill Ridge, too. I sure miss those virtual tours — one of the only things (maybe THE only thing) good about last year. Best of Luck to our friend, The Pistol!! May he do well and be loved.
      Hugs and Love?

      Good luck to Hovis and Mum. They will miss their barn buddies but will soon have new buddies because Hovis is Mr. Personality.
      Hang in there Mum.

    good morning all, did I miss something or does anyone know why there has been nothing on Zenyatta for over 6 month’s? I have seen her on Lane’s End page but not here, just wondering why. Have a good weekend all.

    Dear Susan:

    There hasn’t been a post from Team Z on the Blog since COZ’s birthday.
    The last post on Z was to tell us that sadly she lost the Candy Ride filly in January due this past Spring.

    Read on Z’s Forum that she was not bred this year.

    Maybe we’ll have an update from Team Z soon. Love and Hugs, JB

        Dear Judy,
        Thanks for posting the Bloodhorse article about “The Pistol”❣️
        Best wishes to him as he begins his career and may he be healthy and loved always!
        The Pistol had quite a presence at Mill Ridge. I sure am grateful for those virtual tours during 2020 and miss them. Headley and Price sure did a fine job. I checked out a visit to their foals at various ages from this past spring — it was so enjoyable. Price showed the very young ones on up to the weanlings. Go to the Mill Ridge website and check it out (it is a little less than an hour long). “Fancy Face” was still there then. There was a wonderfully thrilling, an a bit scary, scene of the young colts racing around in their pasture. Beautiful!
        Hugs and Love?

        • Dear Marshall:

          Thanks so much; will look for the Mill Ridge video.

          I am wondering what happened to Act Three (I think that’s his name), full brother to Oscar Performance (Kitten’s Joy/Devine Actress). He’s the little one at five weeks that Mr. Headley took a video of running full speed in circles in the paddock while his Mama grazed. I WAS holding my breath. Love and Hugs, JB
