Congrats 👏 to Kentucky breeder Grantley Acres on earning a $3,000 KBIF Breeder Award 💰! Dakotah Blue graduated by 1 1/4 lengths in @WoodbineTB's Race 3, going seven furlongs on the synthetic track at 5/2. 🐎 A winner in just her 2nd start, the 3yo filly by Mendelssohn out of Empire Lady (Empire Maker), was trained by @RachelHalden and ridden by Jose Luis Campos for Flying Zee Racing Stables LLC. @GrantleyAcres

Dakotah Blue @RachelHalden shows great turn of foot to collar the favorite at the top of the stretch @WoodbineTB going on to win and was a featured tout @WoodbineClocker with a $7.20 return.

@NiallHarbison Beautiful, I am an animal person but my heart broke for this elderly lady the other day and I have been thinking about her ever since. So happy to see them reunited 💕 Niall you are a blessing.

I promise you this will fill your heart full of joy. Nothing captures the positive bond between a human and their dog quite like this. Priceless ❤️
