Hundreds of migrant men were brought into Ramsgate this week. Thousands have already arrived illegally in 2026. Soon to be distributed into your communities and they don’t want to make friends

Further Ado is officially @KentuckyDerby bound 🌹! The #OBSGrad made easy work of his foes to take the G1 Blue Grass Stakes for @spendthriftfarm @bradcoxracing. The son of @Three_Chimneys Gun Runner was purchased at the 2025 #OBSApril Sale by his owner from the Six K’s Training & Sales consignment.

My favorite horse. He won an ALW race on 3/2 ran back in 17 days in the San Felipe and won then ran back in 20 days in this SA Derby. That’s when racing was F’ing racing.

Patrick Valenzuela first win in 9 years at Turf Paradise. They gave him a celebratory shower

⚠️ "Losing It": The Political Tipping Point in NYC Mamdani’s ‘Tax the Rich’ Golden Goose" isn't just tired; it’s flying south for the winter—and it might not come back. The rhetoric of "fleecing whites AND the rich" has scooted from the fringes to the center of Big Apple policy. Month 4 of the newly inaugurated Mayor—he’s shoving a 2% surcharge on high earners ‼️and universal programs in Sanctuary State NY funded by corporate taxes. Wealthy “tax-and-flee" threats have shifted into reality. 📉 The Math of the Flight It’s not just a few disgruntled billionaires; it’s a structural shift in American wealth. New data shows a staggering migration of capital: $1 Trillion in AUM: Firms like AllianceBernstein 👉now fully settled in Nashville with $867B in assets👈have blazed a trail that others corps are following. The 1% Factor: In NYC, the top 1% of taxpayers contribute over 40% of all income tax revenue. Don’t forget! As they leave, they take the city's budget stability with them. Gov Kathy Hochul is apoplectic. Destination Florida: In the first 60 days of 2026 alone, Florida developers reported over $126M in luxury real estate sales to fleeing New Yorkers and Californians. Did I mention socialism breeds misery? History has proven the crumbling of utopian dreams. Leaders can legislate the redistribution of wealth, they cannot legislate the wealthy to stay and pay for it. 😢🇺🇸

A man came across a shark struggling to breathe—he didn’t stop to take photos or videos, he simply did what needed to be done to save it ❤️✨

A Look Into The Archives   Standing at Coolmore’s Sandville Stud in Fermoy (now part of Castlehyde Stud), Deep Run was arguably the greatest National Hunt sire ever, securing 14 consecutive NH Sires’ Championships, from 1979-1993, and producing the brilliant racemare Dawn Run who remains the only horse to win the English/Irish/French Champion Hurdle treble and also the only horse to win both the Champion Hurdle and the Cheltenham Gold Cup.   #CoolmoreNHSires #HomeOfChampions

Warren Buffett sat on CNBC on March 31 and did what he always does before markets break. He said nothing about a crash. He let the numbers speak. $373.3 billion in cash, the largest reserve any corporation has ever held. Thirteen consecutive quarters of net stock selling, the longest streak in Berkshire Hathaway’s history. $187 billion in net sales. And the Buffett Indicator, total US market capitalisation divided by GDP, at roughly 220 percent, exceeding the dot-com peak and any prior reading in the history of the ratio he popularised. In July 1999 at Sun Valley, Buffett told a conference of the world’s wealthiest investors that when the Indicator approaches 200 percent, “you are playing with fire.” The NASDAQ fell 78 percent over the following two years. He did not predict the crash. He described the temperature. The building burned anyway. The Indicator now exceeds 220 percent. And the fire this time is fed by one molecule: methane. The gas that generates 40 percent of US electricity, heats 47 percent of American homes, and feeds half the world through Haber-Bosch. The Hormuz crisis spiked TTF gas 75 percent and Brent crude to $107. Every S&P 500 company whose earnings depend on energy or supply chains is absorbing a war premium the Indicator has not yet priced. The 220 reading was calculated on pre-war earnings. Post-war earnings will be lower. The denominator shrinks. The ratio climbs. Buffett does not predict crashes. He has said it for six decades. “Short-term forecasts are poison.” But he positions for them with discipline no other investor has matched. He bought during the 2008 panic with “Buy American. I Am.” He warned about derivatives as “financial weapons of mass destruction” in 2002, six years before they detonated the global financial system. And on March 31, he flagged Iran’s nuclear programme as a risk to markets, the first time the Oracle of Omaha has connected a Middle Eastern war to his valuation framework in a public interview. The fire extinguisher is $373.3 billion in Treasury bills and cash equivalents. And the building is an S&P 500 where NVIDIA constitutes roughly seven percent of the index, where Oracle’s credit default swaps just exceeded 198 basis points surpassing the 2008 financial crisis peak, where OpenAI closed $122 billion at an $852 billion valuation on the same day the IRGC declared 18 American companies legitimate military targets. The AI trade that lifted the market to 220 percent on the Indicator runs on methane from a chokepoint that is 90 to 97 percent closed, helium from a Qatar facility that will take five years to rebuild, and rare earth minerals processed by the country hosting the peace negotiations. Buffett sees what the market always prices last: the gap between the story and the molecule. The story says AI will change everything. The molecule says the gas that trains the model costs 75 percent more than it did five weeks ago. The story trades at 220 percent of GDP. The molecule trades at $107 per barrel. One of them is wrong. Buffett has $373.3 billion that says he knows which one. The Oracle of Omaha and the Oracle of Hormuz have reached the same conclusion through different instruments. The fire is real. The exits are known. And the man with the extinguisher is not buying. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

I was fired today. Well, laid off. "Budget cuts," my boss said. I packed my box. I was terrified. I have a mortgage. As I walked to the elevator, the CEO—the big boss who never talks to anyone—stepped in with me. "You're Sarah, right?" he asked. "Yes sir." "You stayed late last month to help the interns fix that presentation. You didn't ask for overtime." I nodded, surprised he knew. "I can't stop the layoffs," he said. "Board's decision. But I made a phone call." The elevator dinged. He handed me a card. "My friend runs a firm across town. He's expecting your call at 9 AM tomorrow. He needs a manager who cares about people. The pay is 20% higher." I stared at him. "Why?" "Because you held the door for the cleaning lady every single morning," he said. "I notice things." Character is what you do when you think no one is watching. Credit: Nancy brooks

Dark Saffron repeated as the winner of the Golden Shaheen on Dubai World Cup night? You could have gotten him for $25K as a Keeneland September buy or for $120K in an OBS April sale. He has since banked more than $2.5 million for Sultan Ali.

@reredevaux @FlaxmanFanPage Daughter of 3x. G1 winner, KARAKONTIE @gainesway He also. sired the Beautiful SPANISH LOVEAFFAIR SW at Belmont Park of the Pebbles Stake ,. who I Raced initially with her trainer, @markcasse Gary Barber & Aron Wellman purchased Mark's 50%. She now lives in Hokkaido Japan.

Today is one of those bittersweet days that remind you just how special this sport can be. She Feels Pretty has officially been retired. It’s hard to put into words what this filly has meant to me—not just as a trainer, but personally. Horses like her don’t come around often. She gave us everything she had, every single time, with a kind of heart and class that you simply can’t teach. I am incredibly grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Jackson for trusting me with such an extraordinary filly. Their belief and support made this journey possible, and I will never take that for granted. She Feels Pretty has left an undeniable mark on my career. She elevated our entire program, brought unforgettable moments, and reminded me why we do this every day. I will always be proud to have been a part of her story. While it’s never easy to say goodbye to the racetrack, I am so excited for her next chapter and welcoming baby pretty’s. Thank you, pretty girl. You changed more than you’ll ever know.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to arguably the Greatest Sire Of All Time; the Legendary GALILEO He has set a benchmark of excellence that will never be equalled. His shadow will loom over the Turf for eternity. He has sired: The highest number of G1 winners in history The most stakes winners in history The most group winners in history The highest rated racehorse in history.

Remembering 1973 Triple Crown winner Secretariat on his 56th Birthday.
