Some racing staff’s specialities are mucking out quickly or handling difficult horses, but Liv’s is finding the scratchy spot on our horses 💆🏼‍♀️💆🏼‍♀️

Take care of the horse, the horse will take care of you… Farfellow Farms reached out to claim their homebred Impossible Task to give him a home forever and rewards them with an 8l victory @DelMarRacing under @JockeyHerrera in a swift 1’36!Congrats Kip and Jack. Thanks for caring

@awillywit @SaraChristineG great answer. Also, not technically a CA horse, but really happy w/Reef Runner's performance in the turf sprint. Really cool to see his success the last few in California (and especially considering the wild circumstances of his win with Armando Ayuso at Santa Anita last out!)

@SaraChristineG Formidable Man, so cal horse, 2nd in the Mile vs all the euros, long live California racing please

Who were your favorite non-winning performers of the Breeders’ Cup weekend? #BC25 I’ll start with… Ag Bullet - 2nd in the Turf Sprint Rhetorical - 4th in the Mile Tumbarumba - 4th in the Dirt Mile Kopion - 5th against the boys in the Sprint Percy’s Bar - 3rd in the Juv Fillies

@rich_halvey @EJXD2 @BreedersCup I feel the same. Del Mar is fine, but Santa Anita beats it by miles. Tons of room, incredible sight lines from a million different spots on the track, and the San Gabriels! Very strange when people can't (don't want to...) acknowledge that.

@EJXD2 @BreedersCup Why? Is the weather too nice? I've spent a lot of time at the CA tracks. Santa Anita is a great place for a BC. Plenty of room.

It’s conceivable the @BreedersCup will never be in California again

@dougnachman @SwiftHitter oof, interesting. thank you

@BobbyDeMuro @SwiftHitter Too low. At least 20%

@dougnachman @SwiftHitter as in too high, or too low?

@SwiftHitter 4-5 isn’t close

This person needs to be fired immediately. I’ve watched thousands of workouts and have never seen anything like this. Horrible! @DelMarRacing @caCHRB

@LeeHubb40399228 @SwiftHitter which ride?

@SwiftHitter Wait until the Del Mar stewards suspend Ayuso 10 days for his ride Sunday. 🙀😹😹🎯

@Horseguru24334 @SwiftHitter I'm 100% with you on parking. I know it's a small, stupid thing but it matters. That's why I love Santa Anita (and Los Al!!) and hate Del Mar.

@SwiftHitter I’ll throw in a couple more, never ever charge for parking. Charge $10 to get in but give a $10 betting voucher back ( keeps the riff raff out) , lower the cost of food and drink.

Impossible Task opened the main track @DelMarRacing this morning. Let everybody have a safe and successful 2025 meet !! 🏝️🏄‍♂️🏇🏾

@ClairVo63693073 @TRB2024 @RepoleStable what both of you are saying is the #1 issue facing the *future* of horse racing by *far* and nothing else is close. Wild I had to scroll this far to see it. Whether PETA is right or wrong is immaterial; it's the fact that nearly every single person under 30 *thinks* it's abuse.

You don’t have to be “Swift” to see racing’s biggest problems — they’re right in front of us. The number one issue??? Zero national leadership. No real leadership, no vision, no strategy — no chance at real change. It’s that simple. Weak leadership must be challenged!!!!! ❤️🙏💪 @jockeyclub @BreedersCup @NTRA @TOBAhorses

@Parko215 @RepoleStable Three great points. Especially the third one.

@RepoleStable And last, it’s the only sport that you can gamble on that gatekeeps basic information to make an educated guess. Why do basic PPs cost money? MLB I can look up every little stat. Horse racing? I have to spend $6.99 for PPs. If I don’t, I’m betting against ppl with more info.

@maxsowers @SwiftHitter Wrona has really grown on me. QH races are what they are, but the mixed-breed short track oval races are a lot of fun, and his calls make them really fun.

@SwiftHitter How is Robert Gellar below Dinerman? Also Michael Wrona, how he didn't get the so cal spot is beyond me. Also Dinerman is a super nice guy, just not on the same level as some of the others.

@thoroughbredbet @SwiftHitter exactly! The product at Santa Anita is so watered down too often, sadly. But the place itself... wonderful. (I'm biased because my neighborhood in LA is the Art Deco capital of the world but man, I love the architecture and feel at Santa Anita. Not to mention the sight lines.)

@BobbyDeMuro @SwiftHitter And don't spend a Breeders cup there! Had to wear more layers than at Keeneland! I absolutely love Santa Anita, outside of the 5 horse fields that is.

@thoroughbredbet @SwiftHitter great take and you are correct. Santa Anita is such a cool place. So much history. But I feel like I'm crazy when everybody else I know loves Del Mar. Place sucks!

@SwiftHitter Will never understand the Del Mar love. Grew up in NY, live in ca, Santa Anita trumps Del Mar. had the track been turned around and grandstand faced the ocean, different story, but it's akin to aqueduct with sun.

@DanBesbris I think about this story often. Howard Besbris would have been proud! #MochaMan

This happened to me on Fathers Day, 2008 on a Visalia Oaks broadcast. The pitchers mound came apart, and the groundskeeper was out of town for 1 day so the team photographer had to rebuild it. Bought me some very valuable time.

@Leopowellracing @santaanitapark @EclipseTBP @ArmandoAyuso2 Love him. One of the most expressive eyes I've seen on a horse.

Air Force Red getting all the love he deserves following a powerful score in the San Simeon S. Gr3 @santaanitapark on a week rest . Congrats @EclipseTBP , Holly Golightly and jockey @ArmandoAyuso2 who executed a skillful ride. Thanks all involved !

Forever Young may be one of the stars of The Saudi Cup but Ten Happy Rose isn't to be surrendering the spotlight ahead of the 1351 Turf Sprint presented by Boutique Group #TheSaudiCup

Every racehorse should be born with a 401(k). Contribute to it as they grow, train, race etc. Then when they retire, guess who has a retirement account!

Bittersweet moment as Anisette sells @keenelandsales for $1,800,000 Extremely grateful to @EclipseTBP for putting their trust in us to develop her into a Triple Gr1 winner and the 👸of California Turf Racing. Wishing Anisette and her new connections a bright future.
