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.
Hi Zsters + team Z🐎
Its in the 60s today. 😘Cloudy w/ rain tho.
May those beautiful horses 🐎 RIP over the rainbow 🌈 bridge 🌉.
Luved the race a/ Cafe Pharoah & Sodashi. 🥰
Every1 stay safe & healthy.
Luv 🙏❤🙏, Vamp 🧛♀️
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, Judy. A beautiful piece of writing that says what we’re all feeling right now. I can only just keep hoping, hoping that something will be done… but with the billions & billions of dollars involved in this sport, especially now that bets can be placed with the swipe of a smartphone… I think that it will be impossible to wipe out cheating.
Dear Judy,
Yes sadly, it sums it up. Very well written article.
Hope springs eternal though sometimes it’s reduced to a mere trickle.
Thanks for posting this piece. 💙
Hugs and Love
Hoping HISA is adopted and prevents doping, cheating and what happened to Creative Plan from happening to other horses. Long overdue. Love and Hugs, JB
Oh my god, what a wicked world this is! Deplorable ruling.
Things are upside-down — cruelty is good and those who care are ignored.
Voiceless innocents continue to suffer. We will not forget you, Creative Plan, you deserved love, kindness and good care — you received none of this.
RIP angel. 😢
So happy to see that Medina Spirit will be buried at Old Friends. He ran his heart out and thankfully did not know of the controversary around him.
RIP Sweet Boy.
Dear Shirlee, Judy and Ann,
Very fitting final resting place for Medina Spirit. Michael Blowen is the Best of the Best — the very best friend a horse could ever wish for. Long life and good health to him and everyone at this lovely sanctuary.
Thank you Old Friends. ❤️
Hugs and Love
Dear Sandy,
As always, thanks so much for bringing us the weekly “adventures of Hovis”!
Smiles and giggles are SO welcome these days, and Dr. Hovis is the perfect provider.
Hugs and Love ❤️
Dear Zenyatta, No matter what is going on in this world I pray you will always be protected because I truly love you. I will come, all they need to do is call me and I will be with you.
Love and prayers to all at Lane’s End
Love and kisses to Z and all her foals,
Auntie Sally B.
Dear Judy,
I saw that Emblem Road was by Quality Road out of a Bernardini daughter. No wonder he did so well!
—
I was pulling for Midnight Bourbon. He always shows up, doesn’t he? He really tried hard, and he hit the board with the show. What a hard worker!
Hugs and Love ❤️
Quite a day for long shots!
That was an amazing Rebel Stakes.
Congratulations to the winner and his connections and to the next 3 finishers, also! Legendary veteran trainer’s colt came SO close.
Exciting❣️ ❣️
Hugs and Love
Marshall you brought him to our attention when finished 2nd in the Withers with Trevor aboard. Will post replay when it comes up. I think he paid triple digits.
Big congrats to him and connections. Love and Hugs, JB
Yes indeed he did, Judy!
Went off at 75-1 odds. Not a bad performance for a beautiful one-eyed boy!
A great job by his jockey, too, Ramon A. Vasquez. Yay!!
I didn’t see Un Ojo’s name before the race and didn’t make the connection from the pronunciation during the race. After he won, I realized it was our friend from the Withers (a NY Bred). Happy Happy Day!
Thanks for posting the replay. 🥰
Hugs and Love
Dear Judy,
We certainly are on the same wavelength often. 😜
By the way, D. Wayne Lukas had another outstanding entry in the Rebel — Ethereal Road with Luis Contreras aboard came in second.
He ran about 4 wide and came on strong for the place. “The Coach” was very happy with this colt’s performance, too.
Hugs and Love💕
judy berube
Dear Marshall:
Yes, he’s a talented boy. Finished well. Coach will give him some good tips for next time. Love and Hugs, JB

Coach will tell him to watch out for the one eyed, rail stalking pirates.
What a race! What a great race call. UUNN OOOOJJJJOOOO…….
Congrats to all.
Thank you Racing Gods! Reminding us of the many faces, even the little scrappy doos!
Marshall, he was a good student up there in the Big A.
Thanks for posting the race, JB. Yes, making his very handsome Daddy Loaban proud. It was meant to be.
Dear Judy,
Secret Oath sure proved to any and all that she was more than capable of running with the boys. This lovely filly is very talented. Congrats to her, jockey Luis Contreras, D. Wayne Lukas and all connections on the Honey Bee Stakes win! Well done!
Hugs and Love
YAY!
Isn’t Letruska just gorgeous? Congrats to her, Jose Ortiz, Fausto Gutierrez and all connections on the Royal Delta win! Spectacular debut!!
Thanks for posting the article/replay, Judy❣️
Hugs and Love
Just finished watching Ride Like A Girl on Netflix. It’s the story of Australian jockey Michelle Payne. She won the 2015 Melbourne Cup with Prince of Penzance; first female ever to win the race. She was up against all the best horses and jockeys in the world, including Frankie D.
Wonderful film. I know you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. Love and Hugs, JB
Congrats to Wayne Lukas! 86 and 2 very exciting Derby prospects! Secret Oath
seems to be something very special. And Lukas knows how to win the Derby with a filly. Not a secret anymore.
Hope all of you are doing well and that your weather is as good as ours. Warm, sunny and a high in the lower 50s.
Mr. Lukas has had an amazing career and now another chance at the Derby with Secret Oath or Ethereal Road and at age 86. What a wonderful story that would be.
Dear Judy and Shirlee,
Yes indeed, I agree! Coach has two very talented horses this year — all the very best wishes to him and these wonderful equines. Hope they stay well and sound.
Shirlee, NC is having the usual roller-coaster weather. Today here was similar to your weather in Indiana. Looks as though we may hit 80° later this week — that’s a bit too soon IMO.
🏇 💕 🏇 💕 🏇
Hugs and Love
shirlee c cook
Marshall,
My daughter in Charlotte has been having fun telling me the temps you all are having. Especially when it has been 7 degrees in the morning and not above freezing for days here.
Indiana weather is a lot like that. One day it is 60 the next 15!
More good racing coming up this weekend. Perhaps I can pick my Derby horse on Oaks day.
judy berube
Dear Shirlee andMarshall:
We’re having extreme changes in temps here too. High 50s some days and 20s and 30s other days. Many overnight temps in single digits or teens.
Wayne Lukas gave an amazing keynote speech at the HBPA conference. It is on Bloodhorse.com. One day I will figure out how to bring it over to this site??
He really said some very important things. Owners need to take some responsibility for their horses.
PS:
Shirlee, here’s the article from BloodHorse that you referenced. Lovely photo of Secret Oath included too and video of DWL’s speech. Outstanding points made by DWL. Love and Hugs, JB
Dear Shirlee and Judy,
We need more like D. Wayne Lukas in the sport these days!
He made some excellent points indeed. Kudos!!
Secret Oath is super-gorgeous — love her deep red

Hope everyone is staying safe and warm. Looking forward to the return of Letruska tomorrow in the Royal Delta at Gulfstream.

Had anyone picked their Derby horse yet?
