No dry eyes in our household! JET SWEEP JOE for the win! For those who don’t know, on February 10, 2022, we lost @TrawitzkiJoe far too young to a vicious cancer. Later that same afternoon, we had a colt foal out of our stakes winning mare Sister Blues. We always sell colts that we breed and keep the fillies to race, but that wasn’t going to happen - Joe was already looking over us. We decided then that we were keeping this boy to race and we were sending him to Big Joe’s trainer @mcenteeracing . Paul McEntee has done a masterful job with JET SWEEP JOE and if you want a small glimpse of the fight and effort that Big Joe gave everyday of his life, watch the battle down the stretch.

A hard fought win and a brilliant ride by @EJWilson81 ! Thank you again! #AmericanPope #HallStables

A year late for the Knicks, but the day after the Knicks clinch with the Villanova crew, a 2 year old racehorse named American Pope breaks his maiden - we should probably all get to church… #Knicks #AmericanPope #PopeLeo

American Pope @EJWilson81 @mcenteeracing has the final say in a hard fought finish @WoodbineTB for a breakthrough win.

Habemus Victoriam!  White smoke over Woodbine! 🐎 AMERICAN POPE breaks his maiden! Huge thanks to @EJWilson81 for the ride and @mcenteeracing for the prep. Our twin daughters were thrilled to see a female jockey in the winner’s circle today. #HallStables #Woodbine #AmericanPope

Excited for Sunday’s @HallStables Battle of the Barn at @WoodbineTB - hoping for a safe and fun weekend with FROSTY MOJITO, AMERICAN POPE and LOST IN THE FIGHT! Thanks to Pietro Moran, David Moran and @EJWilson81 for being in the irons and @mcenteeracing for training!

FIZZYPOPBERRYTWIST (2) is a maiden no more after winning her MSW at @BelterraPark! She was the first horse that our twin daughters named-they picked their favorite character from @MyLittlePony. This is what horse racing is all about - watching how excited they were during the race and celebrating after was amazing! Special thanks to Orlando Mojica Jr. for the FANTASTIC ride on our girl and @mcenteeracing and his team for having her ready to shine! @HallStables

@reaganswinbank @ChurchillDowns It was free money at the betting window! Congrats guys and best of luck the rest of the year with her!

Derby weekend was incredible. CyFair winning was so fun. My wife & kids arrived on Friday. The experience @ChurchillDowns was awesome. The walk over was just unbelievable. And I now have a 16 yr old girl & 13 yr old boy that realize how incredible horse racing is & they want more

Big Joe had a way of making everything feel bigger, brighter, and more possible. He didn’t just love the big moments, he LIVED for them. He made sure everyone else did too. We didn’t grow up around horse racing. Joe brought us into the spirit of sport. He taught us to swing for the fences; celebrate everything; and never wait for “someday.” To be at @ChurchillDowns during @KentuckyDerby week, with BAYTOWN DREAMER… it’s emotional for us because we know exactly who should be here with us. He is, in a way. We see him in the fighting spirit of our trainer, Paul McEntee - @mcenteeracing. The way we cheer. In the way we celebrate. In the way we don’t take a single second for granted. Joe was the heart of all of this. And he always will be. We’re proud to continue his legacy and to work with the @maccfund to support their efforts against childhood cancer. Baytown Dreamer - go out there and Win the Day. 💜🐎☘️#WinTheDay #BaytownPartnerships

What a whirlwind 24 hours! Spent all day Tuesday at @ChurchillDowns for the 502-Day races to cheer on the @HallStables runners, but flew back home last night to pick up the family after school today. While back in Wisconsin today, @katie_barelmann and I sat down with @ashleyjwashburn from @tmj4 to talk about Joe Trawitzki’s legacy and the @KentuckyDerby, racing partnerships with @WinTheDayRacing and of course BAYTOWN DREAMER (and some JET SWEEP JOE too) - it should air on Friday. Then we all watched AMERICAN POPE get his first black-type on TV, before turning around to head back to Louisville! #WinTheDay #BaytownPartnerships

We’re excited to share that @tmj4 will be covering BAYTOWN DREAMER as he heads to the Pat Day Mile (GII) on @KentuckyDerby Day at @ChurchillDowns 🏇 Tune in tonight at 6:30 PM in Milwaukee tonight for a preview — and keep an eye out later this week for a full segment on Baytown Dreamer and @WinTheDayRacing From Wisconsin to Derby Day… FIRE IT UP BUTTERCUP - LETS GO! 🧀🔥#BaytownPartnerships #WinTheDay #BaytownDreamer

@LtColTJZ @John_Fanta Yes! The Big East will be well represented in the paddock throughout Derby Day! #mubb #WeAreMarquette #RGV

@John_Fanta You need to try this!

This is peak Wisconsin. If you own a horse running under the bright lights on @KentuckyDerby day at @ChurchillDowns, you invent a cocktail. #WinTheDay #BaytownPartnerships

From Wisconsin to Churchill Downs. 🧀🏇 Chasing the dream that Joe Trawitzki started us on, @WinTheDayRacing is heading to @ChurchillDowns for @KentuckyDerby Day with Baytown Dreamer as he takes on the Pat Day Mile — and we’re bringing cheesehead energy with us. Baytown Dreamer is training very well and coming into this race well rested. We’re proud to take this shot with him. Special thank you to Paul McEntee (@mcenteeracing) and his team for having Baytown Dreamer ready for this moment. Through hard work developing and training Baytown Dreamer, he earned his spot to race on this huge stage. Thanks as well to Danny Sheehy for putting in the hard work with him during the mornings to have him ready to shine under the bright lights - we know he’ll give you all he has next weekend. Like every Derby Day, we know the Big Joe will be upstairs watching down and cheering us on - as he would say, why not us?! We plan to Win the Day and enjoy every moment! #BaytownPartnerships #WinTheDay

It’s a sad day today, but we wanted to send our condolences to @DarleyStallions and honor FROSTED and the incredible legacy he leaves on @HallStables. From Jet Sweep Joe, our first Breeders Cup runner, to Frosty Mojito, and now our 2026 Rusha’s Kitten x Frosted filly, we are constantly reminded of just how special this bloodline truly is. Power, speed and heart — qualities that continue to shine through each of these horses and carry his legacy forward. We are so excited for what’s ahead and so grateful to be part of the Frosted family legacy. 🤍🐎✨ #Frosted
