@Greene0123 @barshoelife “Apron Terrace”

@barshoelife They have some work to do to out the turfside terrace up!

@emd4youuuuu @RaceCharlesTown Sheetz!

More people here than Belmont will see Packed inside as well New flat screens inside, new betting machines, awesome horse racing environment @RaceCharlesTown

@Pro__Trading @StableGeniustm Yes. We need more support for inflation pumping spending and new wars for Israel!

Kentucky, please do America a favor and vote out Thomas Massie. We need people in office who are actually going to get something done. Massie is a grand standing dope, who's never accomplished a single thing during his time in office. You deserve better.

@brandon_gi25330 @thestaggieman Maybe less foals means less racing and less tracks. A good gambling product keeps tracks open.

@thestaggieman Less tracks means less racing, and less racing means fewer foals need to be bred. The industry does not need 20,000 foals born every year just to prop up backyard level racing. Quality should matter more than quantity !!!

While everyone is complaining about the TC and the derby winner… The TC is the least of our concerns for horse racing. How about we talk about the 50% reduction in foals? The lack of horses running past 3? Tracks disappearing yearly? Gamblers dealing with CAWs?

@DRFRusso Looks fine to race next week

#KyDerby winner Golden Tempo galloping at #Keeneland

@pawluk_michael How about this solution: Remove Grade 1 status from - Florida Derby - Arkansas Derby - Santa Anita Derby - Blue Grass Stakes - Haskell Stakes - PA Derby - and all 2 yo stakes aside from BC Juvenile 5 shots at an age restricted G1

This is a man who has been in racing at the highest level. He’s also a self made man who KNOWS how to build and run businesses. In the comments I see folks bashing him who haven’t the slightest clue about racing or business. He is right!!!!!

@brandon_gi25330 @ayo_carried @RepoleStable And only sends horses to other trainers when they can’t cut it in Todd’s barn and wants to get them claimed.

@ayo_carried @RepoleStable He complains about shrinking field sizes, yet he’s one of the owners who rarely runs his horses. Then he turns around and blames everyone else for the problems in racing instead of looking in the mirror.

🚨 ‼️ Breaking Horse Racing Industry News!!!!! I’ve spent months asking The Jockey Club and its Stewards for ONE thing… get the real decisionmakers in a room and let’s come up with a REAL action plan to save this sport. My only motive here is to make racing better, fix the sport and help the sport grow again for everyone. I want to help every participant in the industry and protect the Horse. All I have asked for is REAL meeting with people empowered to make change. Instead, The Jockey Club offered me another one-on-one meeting with Everett Dobson. I said no. Then they offered a Zoom call where “maybe” some other Stewards would join. A Zoom call is supposed to fix what’s broken in Thoroughbred racing??? NO CHANCE. We need the leaders of this industry sitting face-to-face, committing to transformational change with real solutions and accountability!!!!! So Wednesday, my lawyers proposed a day-and-a-half IN PERSON meeting June 3-4 in Saratoga Springs during Belmont week. At a minimum, Chairman Everett Dobson and the lead Stewards Stuart Janney, Vinnie Viola, Bill Farish, Bill Lear, and Terry Finley must all be there. We should be talking about: • Aftercare • The SAFE Act • HISA • The collapsing foal crop • CAWs • Access to data • Declining owners, breeders & racetracks • California & Florida concerns • Lack of innovation • Board overlap conflicts • Transparency around TJC subsidiaries • Marketing & fan engagement and EVERYTHING else threatening this sport. I even offered to buy dinner and let them pick the wine!!!!! Mr. Dobson says he agrees with me on 90% of the issues. GREAT. Then let’s sit down and fix 90% of the problems. No more excuses!!!!! The Jockey Club just has to say YES or NO to this meeting. They have a deadline til the end of the day to accept my meeting invitation. If the answer is NO, then everybody in racing will CLEARLY know they have no interest or intention about saving this sport. I am trying!!!!! How do you think they will respond???

@craigbrogden @bflay @BradWeisbord @FanDuel_Racing @ChurchillDowns @KentuckyDerby @TheNYRA @PreaknessStakes @BelmontStakes Nope

@bflay @BradWeisbord @FanDuel_Racing @ChurchillDowns @KentuckyDerby @TheNYRA @PreaknessStakes @BelmontStakes Preakness moves to the July spot possibly at Colonial

First Saturday of May. First Saturday of June. First Saturday of July. Stop the debate. Take Action. It's Broken. Fix it. @FanDuel_Racing @ChurchillDowns @KentuckyDerby @TheNYRA @PreaknessStakes @BelmontStakes

@Bubbly1731 @SaraChristineG @KentuckyDerby @reredevaux @PhippsStableFan @claibornefarm @HillnDaleFarm @jose93_ortiz @E_DavidMiranda @ChurchillDowns @keenelandracing @theTDN Every horse has all four feet off the ground at times when galloping

@SaraChristineG @KentuckyDerby @reredevaux @PhippsStableFan @claibornefarm @HillnDaleFarm @jose93_ortiz @E_DavidMiranda @ChurchillDowns @keenelandracing @theTDN Please look at this horse's feet - he flies with no feet touching the ground. It's just amazing.

Golden Tempo is happy to be home 😍 The 2026 GI @KentuckyDerby winner has returned to his regular training routine at Keeneland. #KyDerby Trainer @reredevaux announced earlier this week that the Classic-winning colt will bypass the Preakness and point to the Belmont Stakes.

@RepoleStable What is the Breaking News?

@DanonymousMan Is this the interview where she said the horse took a huge step forward on figures and is concerned about a bounce? Didn’t he take a step back on his Ragz figure from the LA Derby, and only improve beyer by 7 points, running on 6 weeks?

Cherie has done an absolutely spectacular job being everywhere the last 5 days. Couldn’t have asked for a better spokesperson for racing. She’s building interest along the way and the impact is something we’ll realize long after this year’s TC races.

@DanonymousMan Nobody will remember any of this in two months

@pawluk_michael It’s impossible to make a good undercard without KY or NY giving up a couple races.

I wish people understood just how much having a weak undercard hurts the Preakness now. Preakness Day is about one race, Derby is about 27/28 spectacular races over two days and Belmont is about a great undercard as well as a great day the day before. Owners just don’t care.

@SotoSocial @Zipseatthetrack Might want to learn how to read a chart

@ChadAhalt @Zipseatthetrack Might want to take that up with Equibase.

@SotoSocial @Zipseatthetrack That’s not 8.

@ChadAhalt @Zipseatthetrack Oaklawn handicap. Never had a chance at the 1/16 pole. White Abarrio beat him by 8.

I am old enough to remember when Journalism ran in all three legs of the Triple Crown and ran well in all three. And then came back the following month to win the Haskell. And then came back to run at 4. The good old days!

@SotoSocial @Zipseatthetrack When did Journalism get trounced?

@Zipseatthetrack Then got trounced by 8F by horses that were once equals. Maybe the path for journalism wasn’t the right one. Maybe it was ego and bad decisions for that horse.

@ChasGlazer @Zipseatthetrack What about Journalism makes him a throwback horse?

@Zipseatthetrack He is a ‘throw back horse’ who raced at 2 to build race experience and foundation. Derby winner didn’t race at 2, had 6 weeks between Louisiana Derby & KY Derby!

@GiddyUpBets @TwinSpires @NTamm1215 If he is right, then Danon Bourbon must be significantly better than Renegade.

@TwinSpires @NTamm1215 Great pod. I wish these two did them together more. And Nicky Tams is spot on about his 1 stall statement

"𝑹𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒂𝒅𝒆'𝒔 𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒘 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈" Not so fast. On Weekend Rewind, Kentucky Derby morning line maker @NTamm1215 delivers a STRONG take on why the #1 gate wasn’t the reason Renegade came up short 🌹🏇 Agree or disagree? ⬇️Watch the full episode 🔗spr.ly/6018BBcKVm

@pawluk_michael Yes. There were short clips on social media yesterday.

Has Golden Tempo been back on the track yet? Just saw a video of Ocelli and he looked he came out of the Derby full of energy
