Tsyolin @ Bluesky | 🎵 COMISSIONS OPEN

My commissions are still open! Feel free to check everything out on my website! tsyolin.com I'm re-uploading my demo reel because for some reason the last tweet broke.

@Aethelran @Aussenseitter Forever Young is simply way too heavy to succeed at Bogchamp. The arc favors lighter horses

@Aussenseitter Longswamp(the nickname for Longchamp racecourse) is much softer than japanese turf, not to mention when it rains, it pretty much turns into a bog. So it's probably closer to a JRA dirt track.

Forever Young has been registered for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe!

@KeibaKate A JRA-like institution in the US with similar authority would do an incredible amount of good for the sport in the US imo

@Classhndicapper @DRFHersh @ChurchillDowns If we want to save this sport, this HAS to be the norm going forward. Fans want to watch the best against each other, period.

@DRFHersh @ChurchillDowns Something is changing. There seems to be more of a willingness to take on the best in the division instead of avoiding each other. I don't want to get crazy, but that's a terrific race if they all go. It's not 70s or even early 80s great, but it's damn good.

News release from @ChurchillDowns announces Stephen Foster purse increase to $2 million. Race expected to include heavyheads - Sovereignty - White Abarrio - Magnitude - Baeza

@chancemoquett Sent you an email!

If I haven’t already reached out to you for your email and you’re interested, feel free to shoot it over to me.

@Equibase Much needed, US racing websites have been drastically in need of a facelift. Felt like generally Japanese websites had better presentation while delivering information more effectively

Something BIG is coming to Equibase 👀 We’re completely rebuilding Equibase.com from the ground up with a brand-new design, enhanced features, and a faster modern experience while keeping all the trusted data people depend on. Instead of launching everything at once, we're rolling out the new Equibase.com in phases, section by section. DM us your email to join our beta testing program for early access and the opportunity to help shape the future of Equibase with your feedback! The future of Equibase starts now.🏇📊

@kylegoon It was an absurdly expensive experience and I say goodbye forever to the Stronach group that helped run the Maryland racing industry into the ground. I still went because Laurel is my track but the state has got it's work cut out for it if it wants to right this sinking ship

A Preakness with fewer than 5,000 spectators was a hollow experience, to say the least. What if (and please, bear with me here) horse racing pushed *affordability* over exclusivity? Why a dying industry should open up its velvet ropes to save itself: thebanner.com/opinion/column…

@browch05 @GovWesMoore Gonna write him and my representative at this point

I was optimistic until I heard @GovWesMoore speak yesterday. Sounded pretty clear he’d rather send millions and millions in perpetuity to CDI and own NOTHING instead of the state simply buying the Preakness rights and owning an asset that can appreciate or be sold for more later. Always easier for a politician to pretend they have a “win” by passing all the problems to the next governor. Hope you can talk business sense into him @TKKuegler

@browch05 @DanonymousMan Hopefully the state doesn't charge Stronach levels of prices going forward

@TsyolinSounds @DanonymousMan My non uma loving fans were also all priced out a few years ago now, so hope they don’t take it personal…

Start Tappin in the last is a half brother to Omar Comin @DanonymousMan

@browch05 @DanonymousMan I would have made it two! But yes my Uma loving friends were unfortunately priced out which is a shame because the interest was there

@TsyolinSounds @DanonymousMan Only saw one uma fan all day which was disappointing but also not surprising since this event was clearly anti fan 😔

@RadioLouie @APharoah12 @UrbnHandicapper @ScottWykoffWBAL @LaurelPark Was great to meet all of you in person finally, looking forward to the next one!

Preakness 151 w/ my guys.

@browch05 @1st_racing Amen brother

Goodbye @1st_racing, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. Love, Maryland

@browch05 At least it's something to feel optimistic about even if it's only a possibility. Some good news in a sea of bad news is a blessing

Figured they had to at least try to match. This would be a huge vote of confidence from Maryland to horsemen. Paying CDI escalating fees year after year in exchange for nothing just to lease the Preakness rights would be incredibly dumb if they believe in the industry.

@Tinky47flat Wealth inequality has gotten way out of control. Most working class people couldn't afford a big day betting at the track even if they wanted to

‡ The Racing Industry and the Broader Economy Notice any similarities between the embedded list and the one below? Might there be any important correlations? – Yearling sales recording all-time highs – foal crop down ~55% (inflation-adjusted since 2005) – wagering handle down ~54% (inflation-adjusted since 2005) – over 40 racetracks closed since 2000, including several major venues – “middle-class” trainers with between 85-100 starts/yr down ~60% since 2005 – “middle-class” trainers with between 85-200 starts/yr down ~40% since 2005

@browch05 Serious question Chris, what could a normal fan like me do to try and help keep racing in Maryland going besides continuing to go to the track and betting. Normally I wouldn't go this far out of my way but I'm prepared to write to my congress people if need be

@TsyolinSounds Sunrise Tours at Pimlico was one of the best things MD racing has ever done. Nice that something is at least happening this year.

Week 1 of Preakness run up was annual airing of grievances. Week 2 will only be positive (I’ll at least try)

@roughycolor This is lovely

@i_horseracing @LauraKingsays Making it more accommodating to other contenders would actually make it harder I feel. The Preakness is basically a free win for a Derby winner nowadays if they're able to do the distance and turnaround because none of the other derby runners show up anymore

@LauraKingsays I think there has to be a balance here. 1. It's supposed to be hard. 2. Therefore, we can't throw our toys out the pram when not every horse takes it on. We can change it to encourage more contenders. Or keep it hard and accept that it isn't for everyone.

Let's settle this‼️ The (US) Triple Crown is...

@LauraKingsays The problem isn't difficulty, the problem is none of the best horses run in it because of the timing

@worldsbesthorse It's hard to take this list seriously when a guy like Jose Ortiz, who's having an insane year so far, can't even crack it for some reason
