Not only does Sergio de Sousa keep Cozmic One happy and healthy at his farm, he goes out of his way to share updates with us. Here’s a glimpse into Coz’s birthday morning at De Sousa Stables.
Happy birthday Coz!

Perhaps everyone knows by now, but the winner of TAKE2 was a mare by the name of Satin’s Queen who raced by the name of Queen Satin. There was no mention of Cozmic One. Maybe someone closer to the action will have better luck finding info.
Hope this helps. As you can tell, my computer is working a bit better and I now have the letter P back and of course GOOD MORNING.
Rocketry couldn’t be in a better place! Best Wishes to him for all the happiness and love he so much deserves! Mr. Blowen will take excellent care of “Rocky”. YAY!
The beautiful grey Valiance has been retired from racing and will be sold at the Fasig-Tipton November breeding stock sale. Wishing her the best of health, happiness, love and luck in her new career of being a mama! Hope she lands in the very best place.
❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Hugs and Love
So sad.
Bad spills this past weekend. Monmouth had one.
Pray for all of them everyday.
Love to all.
Just reading more of The Medina Spirit saga, as Paul L report calls it.
Turning into a real tennis match…ball’s in your court now…..here….back at ya.
Uhhhh, having to have your lawyer in your tack box..uhhhh. Hope racing can survive. Make it stop…..
Dear Judy and Ann,
Thanks JB for this wonderful article! “What a sweet story”, she said through misty eyes!
I agree with you and Ann that “Ellie” is a cool little filly, and this is a cool family. Best of Luck to all of them, and Congrats to English (Ellie) on that Arlington win!
Hugs and Love ❤️
Happy Friday everyone!
Tomorrow is moving day for Hovey and his belongings. Not many details about the new place, but this is a touching fair well to his current digs and pasture mates and a special thank you to the “boss lady.”
SO many races this weekend – here and abroad. It will be nice to see the beautiful mountains at Santa Anita again. Have a great weekend and stay safe!
Sandy
Dear Sandy,
Thanks again for our visit with the mighty Hovis! What a sweet farewell tribute to the boss lady and for the friends at his home for 11+ years. I do hope the move goes well, and Hovis will be happy at the new place. I am sure Mum did her research thoroughly.
Holy Moly and then some. Congrats to TT.
Thanks for the replay.
What is it about those turf eating chestnuts. Remember the year Orfevre ran? His shoe was eaten by that wet turf but he stayed the course.
Beautiful, amazing runners, all of them.
We love you, Love. Give Frankie a kiss!
JB- even when you know, you never know….so true!
Dear Judy,
That was pretty amazing to say the least!
Torquator Tasso went off at over 70-1 and left them in the soft sticky turf!
Congrats to TT and all connections! I think the trainer is a novice, too.
Well done!
Hugs and Love
Congrats to TT and connections! Kind of a “Cinderella story”.
I think Ryan M. should have moved Snowfall out and around instead of staying buried in back on the rail. Hey, but what do I know? “Armchair jockeying”, right?
Hugs and Love
Happy Friday everyone!
Hovey’s big move has been completed. So far the new digs seem suitable for his lordship aside from having Barbie Boy in the next stall. I’m sure there will be many stories down the road as everyone adjusts to dealing with a super star? https://www.horseandhound.co.uk/blog/hovis-friday-diary-i-honestly-pondered-on-whether-i-had-passed-over-the-bridge-765679
Opening day at Keeneland today with tons of races this weekend there and elsewhere. Just about the last chances for Breeder’s Cup “win and you’re in” opportunities! Good luck and safe trips to all.
Sandy
Dear Sandy,
Thanks for our Hovis report! Glad he likes the new digs.
Too bad his grazing area has been fenced off by Mum and Aunty Em — sigh,
such a small spot now. I’m sure he will manage though!
Good luck and safe trips at Keeneland and all tracks!
Hugs and Love
Dear Ann,
Thanks for sharing this, neighbor! What a guy Mr. Joerg is — they don’t make ’em like that anymore!
Truly a cool story. Imagine a 1938 postcard of Man o’War and Will H. given
to the KHRC for everyone (including Mr. Harbut’s great grandson) to enjoy!
Sweet❣️
Hugs and Love
Congratulations to Rockemperor and Javier Castellano on the win today at Belmont in the Joe Hirsch Stakes (G1)! They made a great team pulling off an upset after going off at 15-1. He finished like a Champ! Congrats to Chad Brown and all connections, too.
Also, Congrats to Following Sea on winning the Vosburgh today! Firenze Fire had to settle for second in a pretty exciting race.
Dear Judy,
Yes, Firenze Fire was a good boy except for a premature break from the gate which was quickly remedied, and he was reloaded. No effect on his race it seems. RunHappy’s boy, Following Sea, was ready to “run happy” today!
You broke your drought today though with Empress Josephine — Congrats!!!! I got “goose eggs” today!
Hugs and Love

Marshall, thanks for the heads up on our Ann’s birthday.
What a wonderful win today by one of Chormie’s gorgeous Chestnut girls, California Angel. She won the JPMC Jessamine Stakes in Z Style paying $37.60. Congrats to her and to Papa. Love and Hugs, JB
Dear Judy,
I saw that race today — Wow, California Angel really won in dramatic fashion! She resembles her sire, too. I love her story, too — Big Congrats to Rafael Bejarano and California Angel, trainer George Leonard III and owner Ms. Chris Walsh!! First graded stakes win for Mr. Leonard, and he was so happy (and emotional). CA more than made up for her sales price!
Hugs and Love
By the way, I should have picked California Angel — I didn’t notice that she was foaled on February 9 (my birthday), 2019! Oh, if I had only known, but I couldn’t have bet for real in NC. I will be pulling for her from now on though!
Hugs, Love and Safe Racing Always

Dear Marshall:
Wow, same birth date. We have to follow her. She is gorgeous Chestnut like Papa. Love and Hugs, JB

CC’s baby girl made my day extra special.

Love to all.

So happy for Mr Leonard and Papa Chrome too.
