    In case you haven’t seen or heard, QB1 apparently had a bit of trouble and came in 6th of 7. Better luck next time. Also, Hot Rod Charlie, one of my faves could only manage a 2nd. However, he was beaten by none other than Express Train who is trained by none other than our dear John Sherriffs. YAY!
    Still a bit early to know about the Gun Runner Stakes. Hope he and Mind Your Biscuits are both watching. Hope everybody had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. Let’s all start looking ahead to a shiny New Year where all your faves stay well and run and win big time. Lookiing forward to this years Foal Patrol.

      Dear Martha:

      Thanks for these updates on QB One and Express Train. The race notes on QB’s chart say he was bumped at the start. Better racing luck next time

      Big congrats to Express Train and JS. Very talented boy beat a good one in Hot Rod. Love and Hugs, JB

    Dear Z Fans:

    Article from BloodHorse on Arrogate’s Spirit (Arrogate/Melody’s Spirit). He’s a half brother to Whitmore.
    There are some insightful comments on Whitmore’s personality too. Seems he’s quite a feisty character.

    Godspeed Arrogate’s Spirit; safe and sound.

      Dear Judy,
      Thanks bunches for both of these articles. Yes I am sure our dear friend,
      Sheena, is smiling from ear to ear about Frankel! The late Galileo is proud of his son, too (and so is Sir Henry Cecil)
      Great article about Arrogate’s Spirit! I didn’t know Whitmore and AS have the same dam, Melody’s Spirit. Will be watching for Arrogate’s Spirit on
      the racing scene in 2022.
      Hugs and Love ?

          Hope Mr. Grumpy enjoys his new job. It is a perfect place for him. Imagine all the young ones encountering him. He will excel!
          Good luck to A. Spirit. Handsome one looks like Dad. Poor Arrogate….there was never a final word……as to.

          There is something about a “grumpy guy”, huh?
          Sometimes you just gotta love a grouch❣️

    If you missed this win by Flightline on Sunday in the Run Happy Malibu Stakes at SA, here’s the replay:

    https://youtu.be/1OmGoQIAcIU

    Wow, shame he didn’t get to race as a two year old and try for the Derby and TC races in 2021. He will be four years old in January. He’s three for three. Beautiful son of Tapit out of Feathered (Indian Charlie). He’s racked up speed figures of 127, 130
    and 116 according to his Equibase chart. Lightening fast speed. Safe and sound always beautiful boy. Love and Hugs, JB

      Wasn’t he fun to watch?
      Those ears pinned way back coming out of the gate and then he did not waste time. Taking care of business and ready to keep running. Makes my heart go pitter patter. Guess his down time made him even more rock solid.
      Thanks for sharing this beautiful boy with us. Congrats to all of his connections. Must have been a fun after race party!!!! Oh Boy!
      Stay safe, stay well. Happy New Year to all. Happy Birthday all equines!

    To human and horses all a belated Merry Christmas and especially to Zenny and her whole family Happy New Year and Happy Birthday. Perhaps a bit early, but maybe we can start looking for the newest arrivals to the foal patrol. Hope we have a little calmer time than 2021. Besides all the new kids it surely would be great to read more about a cure for laminitis. Also, let’s hope all the bad guys get rounded up and get neverending sentences. Looking forward to the Pegasus Stakes on the 22nd of this month. How about you?

        Dear Judy,
        Thank you for posting the youtube recording of Auld Lang Syne!
        I do love that sweet old song so much, and I didn’t hear it at midnight last night for the first time in my life. I was watching TCM last night — they were showing all The Thin Man movies with the incomparable Myrna Loy, William Powell and Asta! I did cut to
        one of our local channels at midnight to see the Acorn Drop, but
        there was no music that I could hear. Then I returned to the Thin Man movies.
        I cannot remember a time when I didn’t hear Auld Lang Syne —
        personally, I miss Guy Lombardo, his brother who took over after
        Guy died, and the Royal Canadians. I am showing my age! I was actually in Times Square with some friends to watch the ball drop back in the ’70’s — did that twice, but the first time was best.
        Thanks again, dear friend❣️
        Happy New Year to all!
        Hugs and Love

          Guy Lombardo and his orchestra; a New Year’s tradition for decades.
          So many memories.

          I watched movies all night too.

    High winds caused a wildfire that burned 991 homes in Louisville and Superior, in Colorado. Entire subdivisions burned to the ground. There were three people reported missing,one has been accounted for. We have been in the midst of drought, so everything burned quickly. Nature is trying to tell us something, I hope we are listening.

    Just got a cancer diagnosis, and surgery will be schedule soon. Wish me luck.

    On a more positive note, there are two possible races for Tap the Gavel. Hopefully he can break his maiden.

    Did anyone read about the 38 year old thoroughbred who is still going strong? Amazing.

    Dear Z-friends,
    2021 dealt us one last blow on NYE — we lost a bright sparkling light, a
    very talented comedienne/actress, lover of animals and a lovely all-round good egg, Betty White. The world is a much sadder place now; at least, I know I am sad. What a national (and international) treasure!
    We are in mourning, but we are so lucky to have had her for almost 100 years! She is reunited with her beloved Allen, and I believe she is also
    with all her animals who predeceased her.
    Rest in Peace, Betty White, and thank you for brightening our lives. ❤️
    ?
    Hugs, Love and farewell, dear lady

      Thanks for posting this. Good luck to Gamine in her new career! I also
      hope she is okay and will have a long, healthy and happy life.
      Good luck to Rombauer, too! I saw where his owners have decided to
      retire him since he was experiencing more filling in his ankles after they
      returned him to training. Glad the Fradkins care so much about him and have his safety/health as priority 1.
