Oh my goodness that’s too bad. I just saw the post below about his knee injury. Hope his recovery goes smoothly and that he heals completely.
Power Up El Areeb!
Judy,
Thank you for the post. You are right. That chestnut coat gleams like jewels. Man O Man that boy has some muscles in his rear. There is a lot of junk in that trunk!
You’re all so welcome. He’s a stunner, like his big brother.
I feel so bad; just read in Paulick Report that El Areeb came out of his work (posted above) yesterday with a knee injury. Expects to miss at least 6 months of training. Maybe this was coming on for a while, which would explain why he weakened in the Gotham on 3/4/17. Healing prayers beautiful Gray boy. Love and Hugs, JB
Bummer. Feel so bad for this boy and his connections.
Get well,Champ! Pulling the covers over my head and crying…….

Judy,
Such a shame about El Areeb. So many injuries as the teams chase Derby roses. Perhaps Man O’ War’s owner was right on when he refused to run him in the Derby. Said it was too soon for a young horse.
Hope El Areeb recovers and goes on to a happy healthy life.
Thank you for sharing these articles. Never knew Gunn lost his mama. Always was a fan; now he has my heart. Rooting for beautiful Dortmund too. Love and Hugs, JB

Sorry to somehow have missed it but does anyone exactly when Zenny is due?? Was tied up as our mare,Addisons Honor, had her baby filly on 3/14 which is Pi in geometry and so we named her Piru Pi and got the name (a la the Pie in National Velvet) from the Jockey club.She was born in the town of Peru, Ca. So now we have our yearling born last year on Valentines Day His formal name is Big Red Valentine. And we also have Piru Pi. Yea!!! Both names accepted by jockey club.
Congratulations on the arrival of Piru Pi! Great name, too. Congrats to Addisons Honor, too. Well done. Hope Piru Pi and Big Red Valentine have long happy healthy lives.
Congrats on the new filly Pi and on your yearling, Big Red Valentine. Love both of those names. Happy, healthy lives; safe and sound. Love and Hugs, JB
Congrats on your babies. I have a Pi child( human). Ditto to what JB and Marshall said, happy and healthy.

Thank you for our Hovis update. So sorry to hear of the heat and swelling in his leg. Prayers that he can get back to doing the things he loves. Congratulations to Herman and his wife.
Dear Sheena,
Thanks so much for the updates! Poor Hovis. Keeping him and his ‘Momma’ in our prayers. Praying for miracles. Love what Marshall said, “Power UP”, sweet Hovis! Hope everyone has him and his ‘Mom’ on their prayer list.
with love, Elizabeth
Be strong, be of good courage-so much we worry about will never happen. Put things in order, change what needs to be changed, but begin at once to count the wi tsa to li gi, the blessings that the Cherokee knows must be told again so we will not forget. Forget the past by which so much of life is marked. Painful things happen-and we take a little of all of it with us. This is a new day,i ga, a new time to be renewed. The more we let yesterday’s unhappiness slide away, the sooner we come into the fullness of the present. Sorrow will fade. The new hour will bring new experiences, new jobs to do, and even a few negatives may line up to be counted. Don’t do it. We can begin at once to call for what we want. We will coax all the sweetness out of every hour and it will sing for us like a bird.
Dear Kathy,
Such an encouraging and powerful message you gave us today from Strong Eyes. Thanks again for giving us something to make us ‘think’ about and give us motivation.
with love, Elizabeth
PS Especially love “coax all the sweetness out of every hour” and the analogy with the “singing of birds”! We can learn so much from the gifts of nature that we take so much for granted.
Here are my Happy Happy Birthday Wishes to both the Queen and to Ziconic. Also, I just read about Hovis. He is absolutely adorable. Here’s wishing him well with the hope that leg gets better.
Martha Fosdick; Thank you, Zenyatta’s and Ziconic’s birthday is April 1st, right!
What a beautiful day it was when they were born.
Happy Birthday my sweet Zenyatta and handsome Zi.

Dear Marshall, Oh my goodness, So glad you told me about Alan Jackson’s and Jimmy Buffett’s video. Five O Clock somewhere. Dah, Can’t believe I had not heard that. What a Wow. Where have I been!! Geez. Just had heard that saying for a while now. Just love it. And, just love Alan and Jimmy. And Alan’s a Ga Boy…..
It’s always 5 O Clock in Margarittaville.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Peggy,
I couldn’t resist mentioning that song! I, too, love Alan Jackson and Jimmy B., also. I have heard the saying for a long time as well, but I am glad they made it into a happy song that makes me smile! Cheers for Georgia!
Have a great weekend. Hope Gunnevera has good luck and runs safely.
Safe racing to all! Best of luck to Dortmund and trainer Mr. Sherman, too.
Happy Birthday to Zarkava!
Hope she has a lovely day with her foal and that she gets some treats to celebrate.

Dear Marshall, Oh my goodness, So glad you told me about Alan Jackson’s and Jimmy Buffett’s video. Five O Clock somewhere. Dah, Can’t believe I had not heard that. What a Wow. Where have I been!! Geez. Just had heard that saying for a while now. Just love it. And, just love Alan and Jimmy. And Alan’s a Ga Boy…..
It’s always 5 O Clock in Margarittaville.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Peggy,
I couldn’t resist mentioning that song! I, too, love Alan Jackson and Jimmy B., also. I have heard the saying for a long time as well, but I am glad they made it into a happy song that makes me smile! Cheers for Georgia!
Have a great weekend. Hope Gunnevera has good luck and runs safely.
Safe racing to all! Best of luck to Dortmund and trainer Mr. Sherman, too.
Hugs and Love

Far From Over worked again today: 3F 38:00 Breezing.
It is great to see him back working. Hope he has totally recovered from whatever his sickness/injury was.
He has a beautiful face and head and my beloved is Alydar back in his dam’s side.
