Happy Belated Birthday wish to you Terry Crow. Hope you had a wonderful Birthday.

I was so wanting to see Dortman in the Awesome Again, but I am glad he was scratched. This I believe is going to be a really tough field. First time back hope he gets a little easier field to run against. Thanks so much to Art.
Seems so many thinks Cupid will win while I like him very much. I am going to play Devil’s Advocate here, I really think Mubtaahij could beat him. He has been doing really good lately. Would really like to see Sheik Mohammed win this with him.
Can’t wait for the Awesome Again.
God Speed to all and Good Luck to all.
Peggy (N) South Georgia
Wow, So Happy You did it Mubtaahij. OMG, So wanting you to win. You did it. Yaaaaah
Congratulations to you and your whole team beautiful boy. Huge Congratulations to Sheik Mohammed. I’m just over the moon………………………….Hey, listen maybe Sheik Mohammed will bring you to Darley America one day. Now for my day to be Ok F. Unbridled just has to stay here in the states forever and ever.
Max
This horse is owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa al Maktoum. The owner of Darley and Godolphin is his first cousin, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum.

Huge Good Luck wishes sent to Enable.
God Speed and Good Luck Beautiful Girl
Hope we see the flying Dismount from Frankie.
Peggy (N) South Georgia
To my two favorite girls. OK time to fess up. Forever Unbridled and Dona Bruja.
FU been hearing little whispers about you going to the Classic. I thought Distaff. Now I do think you and Joel could really do good, but you do know who’s in the race. Our main man Gun Runner. ( Lots O Love) I read a question on line someone asking if you were going to Fasig Tipton in November? Started my weekend out bad just reading that. But,no way never think Mr Fipke would do that. Sure Sure hope not. Love Ya Dear Girl.
OK Dona, Been getting my emails about you working out at Keeneland week after week. Sure hope you win one of the big races there and go on to the Breeders Cup as well.
Love this time of years and wish God Speed, Prayers to All for Safety

Here’s an article and the video of De Coronado’s race at Dundalk. They call him Zenyatta’s “underachieving brother”. A difference seems to be that when Zenyatta went for it, she followed through relentlessly to the end. Sorry for this horse. He might have done better in the US on dirt from the start.

Z13Rulz
Let’s be fair here.
Am I right that the above race was run today? That means De Coronado had what … a week turn around from the race at Dundalk he just won?
Zenyatta never ran two races in a week’s time!
Max
The race was yesterday. You are right that he ran back within a week, and that may account for a poor showing. Same for Long Island Sound. However, horses in the UK and Ireland have shorter turn around times than in the US. Willie Mullins ran Simenon twice within four days at Royal Ascot. The horse won both stakes races. In his race, De Coronado challenged and then faded. Zenyatta never did that ever.
Z13Rulz
I’ll be the first to acknowledge that full siblings never live up to their “famous” sibling.
But it does leave you scratching your head to look at his race last week, where he had no problem kicking away, and then look at this week’s race.
It just doesn’t compute.
Max
Totally agree with you. Very strange results. There were 3 Ballydoyle horses in that race. When I heard that De Coronado was racing again so soon, I was more than a little surprised and concerned. Sad how it turned out.
judy berube
Dear Max and Z13Rules:
I too was very surprised to see DC running back so soon. Hope he came out of the race OK. Love and Hugs, JB
Faithful Zenyatta Supporter
Yea! Paradise Woods easily won the Zenyatta Stakes. Papa Mandela has her back to good form again. He looked relieved too. Like John, he loves his fillies and takes such good care of them.
Bobbie
Just ordered my copy of the DVD and can’t wait to watch it!
Marilyn Braudrick
Had a great day at Santa Anita today. Melody and I bought Zenyatta’s video which had a book signing duo non Pariel, John Shirreffs and Mike Smith. Renewed friendship with both- John re:Zenyatta and all my visits at barn 55 at Hollywood parkl and he renewed my ability to visit Coz and Zi at his barn at Santa Anita. And with Mike who had ridden one or more of our horses years ago at either Hollywood Park or Santa Anita for our then trainer Bobby Troeger. Wow, felt like old times. Did not mention my 2 babies coming up.
Wow! Good omens of things to come fro my Big Red Valentine yearling and my 6 month old Pyru Pie. :))

A 22nd group 1 for Aidan as Rhododendron wins the Prix de L’opera under Seamie Hefferman.Enable is trending the first 3yr old filly to win the Arc from Great Britain and Ireland and I think I am right in saying the 6th filly in 7 runnings to win
judy berube
Dear Sheena:
Congrats to beautiful Enable, Frankie D and JG. Wow, what a special girl she is.
Congrats to Rhody and AO’B too.
Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties

Here’s a blast from the past. Jezki wins the Istabraq hurdle. The chattering classes were urging his retirement, but the horse and apparently McManus knew otherwise. Congrats to this horse, an old rival of The Fly.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Congratulations to Jezki on the Istabraq hurdle win and to all connections, too!
What do “the chattering classes” know? :-)
Apparently, Jezki isn’t interested in retiring just yet!
Hugs and Cheers
Max
5 fillies have won the race in the last 7 runnings. It’s 6 if you count Treve twice for her two wins, which we should. 10 British horses have won the Arc. 14 US foaled horses have won, including the incomparable chestnut filly, Urban Sea, mother to both Galileo and Sea The Stars.
sheena.davies(wales)
So it’s 6 times then?Hopefully Enable will be kept in training by Prince Khalid and defend her title at Longchamp next year.To think less than a year ago she broke her maiden on the all weather at Newcastle.She has came a long way to be crowned the Queen of Europe.
Max
Yes, you are right that it’s six, but you have to count Treve twice. She won back to back as you know. Enable is a very good looking filly. What a great win for her. Abdullah has won all of the really big money races since the BCC last year.

Dear BGG:
Thank you so much for posting the replay of Enable’s win in the Arc. This gorgeous girl is just remarkable. She looked like she could go around again. Nice ride by Frankie D too. Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear BGG,
Thank you for posting the replay of Enable winning the Arc! What a race she and Frankie ran — she made it look easy. Frankie Dettori really did an outstanding job of getting her into just the right place, and then Enable took it to another gear. Brilliant!
Big Congratulations to Enable, FD, JG and all connections! Well done indeed.
Hugs and Love

Have not been able to get the Order of Finish for the race.

Enable and Dettori dominate in Arc
Posted by: AAP Just Horse Racing 2/10/2017
Excerpts from article
Enable has capped a memorable season with a scintillating display in the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe at Chantilly to give jockey Frankie Dettori a record fifth win in Europe’s premier middle distance race.
Cloth Of Stars filled the runner-up spot, 2-1/2 lengths away with Ulysses another 1-1/4 lengths third.
Ulysses finished fourth in last year’s Breeders’ Cup Turf and trainer Sir Michael Stoute confirmed he was likely to return to America following his valiant effort in defeat.
Order Of St George, third behind stablemate Found 12 months ago, fared best of the Coolmore team in fourth.
Aidan O’Brien also saddled Idaho (eighth), Winter (ninth), Seventh Heaven (14th) and Capri (17th).

It’s back to the drawing board for the Japanese.
Sue
Thanks for the link. What a race!
shirleeinindy
Congrats to Elude for her win in the Beldame. She squeezed through a hole that looked impossible to get through. As always, so happy for Ms. D and Claiborne.
Not a bad win for Enable also. Ha Ha. The Big E girls were really running.
sheena.davies(wales)
Dear Judy.Such a fantastic race today and a peach of a ride from Frankie.It all looked so easy.I was sooo nervous before the race.Saw a lovely video of her getting washed down after the race and Frankie getting weighed in.He was ecstatic

My Zenyatta DVD arrived. So excited to watch it.
Celeste/Massachusetts
Has anyone watched their DVD yet? I will let you know how it is. I am sure it is SPECTACULAR!!!!
Judey Mastain
I got my Zenyatta DVD and have watched it twice!! I’ve fallen in love with Her Highness
all over again. I don’t think anyone will be disappointed. It was beautifully made.
Thank you for all the memories you shared with us.
Judey
Sue
I have mine and watched it! Love it! Thank you Jerry and Ann, actually all of Team Z for how Zenyatta has been managed and cared for throughout her career and into her retirement.

Marilyn Braudrick
Please send a prayer for Michael Mcdaniel, my step grandson. He was at the concert in Las Vegas last night. He was shot from above in the right thigh and the bullet traveled down his leg into the calf.He is in UMC the only trauma unit in las Vegas. My dtr. in law, Jami Braudrick is now with him in las vegas. She is a nurse and he just graduated with a nursing degree.
God bless him and his Mom, my son colin and grandson Owen.
Celeste/Massachusetts
Marilyn, so sorry your family member was injured in that tragedy in Las Vegas. I will be praying for him and all the victims and their families.
Marilyn Braudrick
Thank you Celeste for your prayers. I KNOW that prayer works!! I am very grateful.
sheena.davies(wales)
I am so very sorry to hear your step grandson was injured in the horrific shootings in Las Vegas.I pray for him and all the victims of this hideous crime but I have to ask WHY???The 2nd amendment may give you the right to bear arms but certainly not the right to take peoples lives in this way..So very sad for you all.RIP
Max
Sheena: Please do not ask questions about the second amendment to Marilyn or anyone else. People all over the US and Canada are in shock and are deeply mourning these losses. Pray for these people but leave US gun politics alone.
Marilyn, we will keep your loved ones in our thoughts.
Marilyn Braudrick
Thanks Max.
Marilyn Braudrick
Thanks Max for your wishes for my family.
Max
Marilyn: Please take care of yourself, and let us know about Michael’s recovery. We are being positive for him and your family. If Zenyatta were there, she would kiss him until he was better. Power up Michael.
sheena.davies(wales)
My question was not for Marilyn but all US citizens.My sympathies lie with all the victims.
Marilyn Braudrick
Sheena, thank you for your prayers for my family. I too feel that our gun laws are too liberal. People and animals and birds world wide are shot too often. There needs to be world wide reform to possessing guns.There needs to also be strengthening of protection to endangered animal/bird/aquatic all endangered species in every country.
My son Colin tells me that his step son Michael will stay in hospital longer His Mom, Jami is with him at University Medical Center in Las Vegas and that he will be “OK”.
judy berube
My Dear Marylin:
Sending healing prayers for your Michael. God Bless him, all the injured and condolences to the families of all the innocents lost. RIP Love and Hugs, JB

Marilyn, prayers for you, your grandson and your family. Also for all of the families who are affected by this. Let us hold the light for a time of unity.
