Happiest of birthdays to the one who is the reason I became a trainer.
David saw potential in me and believed in me long before I believed in myself. He has been my biggest supporter, my therapist, my sounding board, and my wailing wall through every high and low since the day we met.
None of this journey would have been possible without him beside me. He deserves the world and so much more.
Happy 50th birthday, David ❤️

@RepoleStable Good luck Mike and all the connection, I hope this is your year, thanks for the visibility of trying to improve our sport, I think you paid your dues to get one

I wouldn’t trade places with anyone heading into this Kentucky Derby.
I’ll take Todd Pletcher, Irad Ortiz Jr., and the best horse in the race Renegade from the 1 post every time.
Is it ideal??? No.
But I’ll take the 1 post over 15–20 post all day with Renegade’s closing style and explosive late kick.
He’ll save plenty of ground while others are running extra distance.
You can get trouble from anywhere but being that far outside could cost him 7–10 lengths.
And don’t forget, since 2021 with the new starting gate, the inside posts are positioned better than before.
If Renegade is who we think he is, the 1 post won’t matter.
No excuses.
Some people say I have bad luck at Kentucky Derby.
0 for 8 plus 3 scratches.
2 of them favorites. 🤦♂️😂
I see it differently, I’m blessed.
Blessed to have these opportunities.
Blessed to have the Derby favorite with Renegade.
Blessed to have Oaks favorite with Zany.
Great luck to all the connections in both the Derby and the Oaks!!!!!
LFG!!!!! ♥️🙏

@C2RacingStable What a race! What a horse! He is a champ for sure, congrats on a great career

As we near the end of the champs racing career, we look back on all the memories and the journey WHITE ABARRIO has taken our stable on over the past 5 years and we could not be more proud to have been a part of it. In today’s world it’s not often you see a horse of his caliber with 24 starts and over $7M in earnings. Regardless of the outcome in today’s @PegasusWorldCup he’s a champ and has given us more than we ever imagined when we purchased him as a 2 year old. When you see him in the paddock and on the track today, tip your cap to the striking WHITE ABARRIO and say thank you champ!

@timburchett Tim I honestly don't agree with a lot of your politics but I can truly say you fight for what you believe in and I totally respect you for that sir
