First day of spring and our 3 week old VA-homebred colt by Darley's MYSTIC GUIDE out of DULCE DE LECHE (Disco Rico) is enjoying the sun. Next week he and Mama head to KY so she can make the acquaintance of ARCANGELO. #FoalFriday

@thedungeon2025 As an owner I know about every claiming entry before it happens. The one trainer who entered one of my horses for a cheap price without getting my go ahead was fired on the spot. And I am not loathe to jam a questionable horse of mine.

File this under offbeat inside baseball info: when the official oddsmaker also hustles entries in the racing office, low-balling a hail mary price point just a bit might indicate the maker solicited the entry and then fudged a bit so the trainer would not feel exploited......or get rebuked by an owner...

@MargaretDammit Thanks

@FollowingTrend ☹️

Chuck Norris does not go to the hospital. The hospital comes to Chuck Norris. 👊

@ToothyTisha Thank you

@FollowingTrend So very sorry..😞

Sad to learn today that our Mountaineer Cat lost her Bolt d'Oro foal. (Pictured here with last year's lovely Blofeld filly now called Spectre Cat.) Happy though that she had no ill effects.☹️ You can only realistically get healthy foals 75% of the time.

@RpsAgainstTrump Put me on the waiting list for two!

JUST IN: Trump’s handpicked Commission of Fine Arts approved a general design for a 24k gold commemorative coin for the U.S. 250th anniversary featuring Trump’s image. “I motion to approve this as presented, and with the strong encouragement that you make it as large as possible, all the way to three inches in diameter,” the commission’s vice chair, James McCrery, said. Separately, the Treasury has said it plans to issue a $1 Trump coin that the Commission of Fine Arts approved in January. Straight-up banana republic stuff.

@JJs_Lucky_Train Thanks. I was very impressed with him when I saw him. Raced at the highest levels and has a peerless pedigree. A G1 winner by a G1 winner out of a multiple G1 winner. The mare needs the size, so this was a no brainer. The computer also likes sons of Curlin for her.

@FollowingTrend Sorry to hear, nature takes its course. Hope the other Mama Cat has a successful trip to Highland Falls!

@elonmusk My 159 roommates and I believe it's racist for you to make us show up at the polling place in person and show ID. We demand to continue vote by mail with no ID!

We don’t live in a democracy if our elected leaders fail to implement the will of the people

@DelReyJay1 I'm leaning towards GG's Warrior, but since she's going to Keeneland in a couple weeks there's no urgency on a name. The tracks around here don't allow unnamed 2yos to ship in but that's not the case out there.

@FollowingTrend Did you picks a name btw?

@BogartJim Once in a while, of course, the heavy favorite finishes off the board. In those cases the $2 show bet can pay $50-60 easy. Pays even more than the win bets most of the time.

@FollowingTrend I give him horses at WV tracks to bet to show.

My buddy bet $25k on Duke to win on the money line. Duke down 43/32 at half. Duke finished strong he wins. He made $240 dollars. Crazy

I'm an old Army infantryman. There was no aircraft in our arsenal we liked better than the close ground support A-10. Now the swabbies have a new favorite aircraft too. Of course the Air Force hates this plane because it's not new and sexy. But it is highly effective.

@DicksTrash Whichever one pops his head up, hammer it down.

Lol!

@DicksTrash Speak up! I can't hear you!

On Old Twitter I got comments out the ass. On new Twitter nobody sees any of my shit

@DelReyJay1 Thanks

@FollowingTrend Sorry for the loss and your mare is ok.

@mainst_joe Thank you

@FollowingTrend So sorry :( 😭

@NinaColasurdo1 Thanks

@FollowingTrend That is sad 😔 Glad she will be ok

@Toastmanpa 😢

@FollowingTrend I had it typed out with possibly 2 partners.

I should have bet my Oaklawn P5 today. I passed. Cost me 3 grand passing. Oh my!

@nancymc303139 All of our horses end up well. Even the slow ones. I sleep well at night.

@stet_dot_net Thanks

@FollowingTrend Sorry, FT. That sucks.
