Dear Judy:Hope you got to see the photos of Charlotte’s little tantrum!They are home now for Prince George’s 4th birthday today.Surprised to hear about Zenyatta in foal thought she would have been rested but we will have a new foal to look forward to in the spring again.Exciting times.It has been a thoroughly miserable day but all is well at the Dyfi.Hovis’s feathers get massacred again but his leg is improving and CNSM visits next week!Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT Cap Hercules Frank Bentley Willow and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX
I was wondering too if Z would be bred this year. Will pray for her and the new baby for a safe, healthy foaling. Will look for photos of the Royal children. Too cute! Glad all is well at the Dyfi and that Hovie is improving. Good news. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM, PC, HT, Cap, Herc, Frank, Bentley and all the Sweeties
A Kitten’s Joy named Joyful Joyful won the last race opening day today at Saratoga. She paid $39.20. All the broadcasters overlooked her, but I picked her because Kitten’s rule the turf. Here’s the replay. (You have to click on the video). Congrats to her.
You little smart picker, you! :-)
Joyful Joyful really dug down to win thus making her papa very proud indeed. Big Congrats to her and all connections.
Congrats to Shackleford’s little girl, too. Wow, a 9 length lead; well done, Dream It Is! Mama, Rêve Enchanté, gave you the “dream”, too.
Judy,
I am always a sucker for the Kittens. Could not have passed up that name either. Hope she wasn’t claimed and goes on to a happy healthy career. Guess Ken can’t have all the Kittens.
Unfortunately, a set back for Chromie’s little brother Faversham. One of the girls sent me this article in an email. Healing prayers little one; Art will take good care of you. Love and Hugs, JB
Chris Froome has all but won his 4th Tour de France.Shameful behaviour from the French fans towards him but what else would you expect they’re French!!!
I know I’m a bit behind so would like to catch up. First, the little paint filly Starresha was fifth and last in her debut, (sigh). I’m not sure what what it means, but it said she was headed and evened out in the stretch. Second, I wanted to send best wishes to Ann Maree. Here’s hoping you’re feeling better. Third, Even though I’ve said it once already, Best Wishes to Coz on his run tomorrow. Also to Lady E. I just found out she was running. Unfortunately, I no longer have internet so I go to the library and its closed on Sunday and Monday so if you see a late post on Tuesday concerning these races please bear with me.
Star is not a paint. She’s a thoroughbred and registered as a bay by the Jockey Club. That result was not so bad as it was her first race. Her trainer was happy with her effort and is hoping for a win next time out. In the meantime, Star is the center of attention at Woodbine. Everyone wants to see her. Given her coat, she’s easy to identify both on and off the track.
You could be right that Star is also a paint. Read that her owner may have registered her with the APHA as a paint. She’s definitely a beauty as is her dam. I think that she was born in British Columbia but is now in training at Woodbine in the summer and in Florida in the winter. She’s still a baby and has lots of potential, a filly to follow.
Bobby is beautiful indeed. Visited Charlie today and got to see little Figi and Mom Willow and the other beautiful Gray foal and her Mom as well. Everyone is doing well. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM, PC, HT, Cap, Herc, Frank, Bentley and all the Sweeties

Coz :-) keep quiet mooving in second turn , dont use much of whip in end of second turn and on home stretch , on your back on back of mom Zenny :-) on back of Zi :-) much of whip simply dont work , see race videos of Zi :-) ,, ,, ,, ,,

No luck for Arrogate today??I haven’t seen the race but it seems he was very flat,If nothing untoward shows up BB says he will run the Classic as planned.
Gun: It’s kind of hard to believe.
Biscuits: Not really. He looked gray.
Gun: He is gray.
Biscuits: I mean really gray, and huge. It’s harder to skip over that dirt when you are packing pounds.
Gun: Just how many free boxes of biscuits did you send to SA?
Biscuits: Enough. Recall my advice on the plane not to win every time and to look complicated and the mares will take notice?
Gun: Wasn’t that a joke?
Biscuits: Only if you are a chestnut.
Gun: Can other horses understand the secret code of chestnuts?
Biscuits: Neigh!
Max,
Now we know that Arrogate’s defeat can be blamed on that sly chestnut, Biscuits! Arrogate, next time don’t eat all the goodies Biscuits sends you. Remember, he is a personal friend of Gun Runner. Gotta watch those chestnuts!
Some of the horses in the race look like they were bred for the turf. There’s a couple of Irish bred Galileo’s as damsire in the race. Hope nevertheless for the best for Coz.
Thinking of you today and wishing you luck, fun and most of all a safe race. Bring it home sweetheart. You can do it! You have got what it takes, just let it happen.
Huge congratulations to Chris Froome for winning his 4th Tour de France today.The sweetest victory because things haven’t gone well for him during the arduous race.For the 5th time in 6yrs the British National anthem will be played on the Champs Elysees.
also congratulations to the ladies England cricket team for winning the world cup at Lords beating India.Well done girls
Congratulations to Jordan Spieth for winning the British open golf championship at Royal Birkdale after an enthralling battle with Matt Kuchar.Well done.
