Dear Friends,
I’m so excited and could not wait to share the news with you! MY DEAR ZELLDA had a beautiful colt by JUSTIFY on April 19th at 6:10 pm. Per Todd, “he is chestnut in color, leggy and weighed in at 107 pounds.”
I’m delighted to let you know both Mom and Foal are doing very well. From all reports, Zellda is an excellent Mother!
I must say, I adore watching newborn foals running and playing outside with their Moms! They are TOO CUTE as they learn to romp about, stretch their bodies and discover the ‘exciting’ places their legs can take them. After a few hours of playtime, it seems like a light bulb goes on and they suddenly realize how ‘quickly’ they can travel to all parts of the paddock. Oh Zellda, have fun! Looks like he loves to run and play!

Exciting Preakness today — Congrats to Seize The Grey, Jaime Torres, D. Wayne Lukas and all connections! This beautiful grey took the lead and went running in front all the way to the wire. Yay!! Mystik Dan ran well to get second — he is a handsome fellow, too.
One of our Z-Fans is part of My Racehorse so Congrats to our friend, Sandy W. !
Hope you are doing well Z and enjoying the spring❣️
Hugs and Love

Dear Marshall,
YES! The Preakness was very thrilling. I join you in congratulating Seize the Grey and I am so pleased for D. Wayne Lukas! Thought of our Sheena…she loved the grays. Congratulations, Sandy! How thrilling!
Hugs, Kathy

Dear Kathy and Marshall:
Adding my congratulations to yours for our Sandy and all the My Racehorse partners. Congrats to STG, jockey Torres and DWL.
I was worried they were asking too much of STG after his fabulous win in the Pat Day Mile on Derby Day. He sure proved me wrong. Very impressive win.
Love and Hugs, JB❤️

Remembering the importance of this day 80 years ago.
The Longest Day—
June 6, 1944: Our world is forever indebted to those brave soldiers who landed and fought on those beaches. Some made it, some were badly wounded and many lost their lives — Thank God for all of them — the best of the best against evil forces. With grateful hearts, we must never forget.
Prayers that history doesn’t repeat itself.
Hugs and Love Always

Dear Marshall and Judy,
Truly the Greatest Generation. Every single one a HERO. What a beautiful and touching commemoration ceremony. You have to wonder how many young people now would rise to that level of patriotism…
Hugs,
Kathy
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Kathy and Judy,
Yes indeed, the Greatest Generation — Tom Brokaw is right
Kathy, I wonder about how many of the current population would be so brave and selfless, too. I truly pray that we don’t have to find out, but if so,
hope springs eternal. 🙏

Dear Judy,
Thanks for posting this video — such excitement! Congrats to Team Dornoch!! So glad that Dornoch got to run his race this time. The little brother has won the Belmont Stakes just as big brother Mage won the Derby last year.
Cheers!

Another senior champion has left us.
Ide, a multiple stakes winning stallion, was euthanized on Friday at age 31 due to colic. He had been living happily at Old Friends since 2016.
RIP Ide, beautiful chestnut champ. Running among the angels now. 😢

Prayers for Mr. Ramsey and for all people and horses at Ruidoso Downs.
Prayers also for the family of assistant trainer to Steve Asmmusen, Toby Sheets. Tragically, he apparently drowned while on vacation in Greece.
RIP all the mares and foals lost in a barn fire in France on Sunday. So very sad😓. Run free Mamas and babies in God’s Heaven.
Love and Hugs, JB
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy,
I didn’t know about Toby Sheets’ death — condolences to his family, Steve Asmussen and all his friends/colleagues. RIP
Had not heard about the barn fire in France last Sunday either. How awful!
RIP beautiful innocents. Running with angels now. Condolences to all. 😔
