@TheAthleticFC Paper tickets only is a lie. Stop the lies.

“At Rayo, players don’t live in a bubble. Before every game, you park your car on the street and walk through the supporters. You quickly realise it is different, with a sense of belonging and communion.” Rayo Vallecano are perhaps Spain’s strangest football club. They only sell paper tickets. Rival clubs have made fun of outdated facilities at their ramshackle home stadium. But there is also a special magic to the place, which has reached new heights during this season’s adventure to the Conference League semi-finals. @dermotmcorrigan explains why fans have been camping out in the streets to secure their part in it. nytimes.com/athletic/72402…

@2yovar He'll have to win the triple crown to justify that price tag and Dubai world Cup and the Saudi cup.

Time to address the historic purchase of the Flightline colt. I’ve read many comments some critical, some astonished, some judgmental. That’s normal on social media today, where everyone has an opinion, even when they know very little about the subject. I even understand them perhaps I would think the same way if I hadn’t been there. For many, the final price was shocking. For those of us who were actually there, it wasn’t shocking at all. When an owner is willing to pay this kind of money, it’s obviously because others wanted the horse just as badly. But what makes someone pay such a high price for a horse that, as we all know, offers no guarantees? On the morning of April 2nd, while watching horses train ahead of their official breezes (usually shown 7 days later in the catalog), I had the chance to see this colt for the first time. As many of you know, I always carry my handycam to record and analyze these works later in detail. At first glance, I thought: “Wow, what a relaxed and efficient action.” With years of experience, I could already tell his stride length was well above average. Still, I needed to review the video closely. The result left me astonished almost in disbelief. Honestly, I couldn’t believe what I had recorded that morning. To keep it short: there’s an old saying in this game “when you think they’re going slow but the clock shows an impressive time, that’s when you know they’re really special.” I immediately contacted my clients and told them we were looking at a prospect on another level. A full week before the breeze show even started, I assured them their eyes wouldn’t see anything close to the quality of this horse among the remaining 1,200+ horses in the catalog. I even told them that if this colt simply repeated what he “prepared,” he could become the most expensive horse ever sold at OBS. The day of his official breeze arrived. I suggested they watch it live, and they did exactly at 9:05 a.m. on April 11th. The result was exactly what I expected. In fact, it was, without question, the most impressive breeze any horse has ever produced in the history of two-year-old in training sales. He broke the pole in :9.3 a time that has been matched by several horses in recent years. However, most of those who hit :9.3 couldn’t maintain that power and speed through the next 1/8, 1/4, and 3/8. The closest was probably Shisospicy two years ago, but this colt was clearly on another plane. Beyond the time, the way he did it was spectacular. His stride length and mechanics were simply breathtaking. Unlike the day I first saw him (when he was mostly on his left lead), this time he performed perfectly on his right lead, switched cleanly to the left on the turn, and continued galloping the 3/8 after the pole back on the right lead again. A breeze that borders on perfection. Then we looked at the pedigree. Why pay so much for a fast-working horse? Because he is by Flightline the Secretariat of our time. An exceptional racehorse whose place among the all-time greats is already a debate for another day. And who is the maternal grandsire? None other than Into Mischief, the greatest sire of the modern era and a multiple champion leading sire. Physically? He combines the best of both lines beautiful and correct, with a lot of Into Mischief in his color and markings, but also that athletic, distance oriented look from Tapit, the legendary sire of Flightline. Finally, the veterinary evaluation sealed the deal: a heart with a capacity significantly larger than average, with a projected racing distance of up to 10 furlongs. X-rays 100% clean, positive ultrasound on ligaments, tendons, and suspendories, a Grade 1 throat, both testicles perfectly descended, zero signs of pain, no bucked shins, and no muscle wear after such an effort remarkable for a young horse. This isn’t about ego or speculation. The person with the money can afford the luxury, of course. But for me, it was about the feeling of letting a horse go who… 🧵

@Horsemancrewser @2yovar Wow they must be flabbergasted by your offer 🤣🤣🤣

@2yovar I’ll play along. I’m a business guy which is probably my first mistake I can do math which is my second mistake. If this horse is a financial success I’ll buy us the nicest steak dinner you’ve ever had. If not, you buy me a beer at the 2027 breeders cup in NY. We’ll know by then.

Trump just posted on Truth Social. His representatives are heading to Islamabad tonight for round two of negotiations. Tuesday. But if Iran does not take the deal he is offering Trump said the United States will knock out every single power plant and every single bridge in Iran. His words -- no more Mr. Nice Guy. Iran is losing $500 million a day with the Strait closed. Trump says the US loses nothing. Ships are already rerouting to Texas Louisiana and Alaska. Wednesday is the deadline. Trump just told Iran exactly what happens if they miss it. Now everyone knows.

BREAKING: Donald Trump has threatened to attack power plants and bridges in Iran if they reject a peace deal. The U.S. president accused Iran of violating the ceasefire agreement by firing at ships in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday. trib.al/UkgHdQR 📺 Sky 501
