      Dear Judy,
      Amen to what you said. What an awful thing to have happened, but it was
      a huge accomplishment to get 58 horses out safely. RIP American Sailor and
      Beastie D.

      What a nice guy Charlie Lopresti is. All the best to him as he starts a
      new chapter. Hope he gets to spend more time with his bird-dogs, his
      wife and of course, both of the “Dans”!

      Dear Judy,

      Thanks for the link. Hot Rod Charlie was a little character, wasn’t he? He
      sure showed everyone an astonishing second to Essential Quality in the
      Breeders’ Cup Juvenile (94-1 long shot). He has done very well this year, too!

      Best of Luck and good health always to HR Charlie!

    So excited and worried over the Apple Blossom tomorrow. Hope it is a dead heat between these 2 great mares. So afraid someone will be injured! Cannot pick a winner. Checked their pedigrees and both have my beloved Alydar in there. That could be where Sky Diver got that beautiful red coat. Safe trip to all.

      A dead heat would be good. I can’t pick between them either. Thinking an exacta box maybe :-) They had better watch out for Letruska though!

    Thanks Judy for the adorable photo. It made my day and is now resting comfortably in my “Too Cute” file. DARN! Looks like I won’t be able to see the Apple Blossom as its being run, but should be able to see a rerun later fingers crossed. I finally decided that since I’m getting a little older myself , I might have to root a little bit harder for Monomoy Girl, but Swiss Skydiver is right next to her. I just hope that by being in the 6th position MG can stay out of trouble and she and S.S. can both come home safely. Hey guess what, its actually trying to be Spring here and is reported we might have temps in the 70’s for 2 or 3 days in a row. Sure hope its sunny and warm for any and all other Zsters and especially for Zenny and all her kids.

      That was quite a run by Tizamagician and Flavien Prat in the Tokyo City
      Cup (G3) on Sunday! Congrats to all! Flavien won earlier on Cezanne, too.
      Both wins were by 9+ lengths. Congrats all around!
      ———–
      Sadly, Multiplier suffered injuries to his right front ankle and was vanned off after the Tokyo City Cup.
      The plan was to stabilize it and do surgery to repair, but further X-rays revealed too much damage. He was euthanized. RIP Multiplier, a lovely gray gelding who was 7 sevens old — so sorry, brave boy.
      Also, at Santa Anita (on Saturday in Race 2), another brave soul suffered a
      fatal injury to the left front ankle. RIP My Child Sbud — gone too soon.
      Condolences to all who cared for these angels.?
      Apparently, Santa Anita is still having a lot of fatalities. Hope things will
      change soon for the sake of the horses.

    Just heart broken for Umberto Rispoli. He was replaced as the rider of Rock Your World. I know this happens but still feel sorry for him. He was so excited to be going to the Derby. Perhaps he will get another mount for the big race. I don’t blame Joel, and the owners have a right to choose their jockey. Just hope all goes well for Umberto and he has a safe and great career.

      So darn sad. This on top of the Saudi Cup fiasco.
      Yes, we understand but just a gut punch for him.
      Joining you in wishing him a bright and shining career. Seems like a lovely person. Throwing some good vibes out there for him!

        I agree, disappointing for young jockey Rispoli. Wishing him all the best in his career.

        I’m wondering if Mikey will pick up a mount for the Derby now that LIG is not going.
