The argument that needs to be made by those in horse racing is that the good outweighs the bad, and (whether it is true or not in every single jurisdiction & circumstance) the sport is doing its damnedest to make it better. That’s the argument, not this other nonsense.

Great scene @santaanitapark this morning. Trainer Richard Mandella literally (yes, correct usage of word) dancing by Bob Baffert at Clockers Corner. 19 Days till #KentuckyDerby

Winx bashing is boring.

Appreciate what this mare has achieved and how she has single handedly raised the profile of the sport.

People come in their droves to see her and it is carnival time every time she runs.

Acknowledge and respect a horse that has won 33 consecutive races.

Wishing the happiest of retirements to a very special legend of a horse, Bless The Wings AKA Wingsy. Always everbody’s favourite in the yard, he is one whose absolute dude of a personality at home matched his consistent ability on the track.

The ‘New Curragh’. World Class facilities to match our world class horses, jockeys and trainers #Curragh

Couldn’t be more impressed by the Curragh today. If people don’t come racing here after what they’ve done, the last person leaving may turn off the lights.
