It’s a bad sign when people ask “are you still racing”. We’ve just ended our worst season at OP in decades. A poor crop of 3 yo’s with nobody stepping up. Still, promising 2 yo’s to the track shortly for OP 26/27. Quietside in foal to Nyquist on one cover.

The GII Oaklawn Handicap being run today may be the best race ever run at OP. As a result it will certainly be upgraded to a GI in the future. Not bad for a ratty like track somewhere out west to the NY elite. Good work by Mr Cella.

@WorkElizab Wine rack.

I saw my neighbor about to throw this in the bin, so I asked her if I could have it, and she gave it to me. The reason why she was throwing it because she didn't know what it was for. I don't either, but I took it anyway. What is this? 🤔🤔

@EricGuillot14 3 by the rules, still 2 by the calendar.

@ShortleafStable 2 yr olds won’t run with older!! By this time they all are 3 by now

Typically 3 yo’s don’t run against older horses till fall. However, most OP races for Maiden AR Breds are 3&up. This pits some young horses while still 2 yo’s running against 4,5,6 yo’s. Most can’t compete while so young. Not good for Arky program.

@theiaincameron How does the White Nile compare?

As everyone knows, the longest river in North America is the Mississippi. From its source just south of Lake Itasca in Minnesota, it runs south for 2,350 mi (3,780 km) into the Gulf of Mexico/America. However, the Mississippi technically isn't actually the longest at all. 1/n

After a tough win in last years GIi Fantasy, Quietside never regained her true form. Time to move on to the next task. She is shipping to KY to breed to Nyquist.

@hollyberry36c The Caddo’s on the ground are everything we hoped for. They will will make us proud…and we’ll have fun with them.

@ShortleafStable Unfortunately it happens! I understand you have a big crop of two year olds coming lets hope something hits big for Mr. Anthony from it. In the meantime look at this tall good looking colt by Caddo River that was born to my mare Wiilow Moon on Monday night @ McDowell Farms!

Goodness, what a bum crop of young horses for us this year. Minor injuries and lack of talent puts us in cheap races while quality prevails. Still have a few bullets to shoot and Quietside will make sure Nitrogen shows her class in the Azeri. We’ll get’em next year.
