Always a Runner wins the Longines Kentucky Oaks under the lights.

True to her name. Always a Runner delivers in the Kentucky Oaks @ChurchillDowns.

Left in the gate. Wide in the turn. And Baeza STILL came running at the wire.

Today is the day you return to the track & we’re so excited to watch the start of your 4 year old campaign. Give it all you got sweet Baeza 💜 #alysheba #churchill #baeza

Mark Glatt chased a lifelong dream of reaching the @KentuckyDerby, but the journey came with heartbreak. After losing his wife of 25 years, he watched his colt So Happy deliver an emotional win in the @santaanitapark Derby to secure their spot. This one isn’t just about racing. It’s about love that never leaves. ❤️

Honoring John Shirreffs

Today we remember trainer John Shirreffs, who passed away yesterday at age 80. Last summer, he was featured on Cart Talk in an emotional conversation that spanned his entire career and captured the heart, humility, and stories that made him so special.

John Shirreffs, trainer of legendary horses Zenyatta & Giacomo, has passed away this morning at the age of 80. Rest easy, John. Your smiling face in the barn aisle each morning will be missed dearly.

Beginning with the 2026 summer season, Del Mar will offer $100,000 maiden races for 2-year-olds on the main track. These enhanced purses reaffirm Del Mar's commitment to developing juvenile runners and expanding opportunities for the industry. dmtc.com/media/news/del…
