@Mindy43087085 @AprilWheeler5 @NotCloudyAllDay Yes, there were a couple that day making their seasonal bows. Mr Fine Threads (winner, Timber Stakes, Grand National), he also came back a week later and won again. Paddys Crown (4th, Allowance, Grand National) Decisive Triumph (2nd, Allowance, Glenwood)

@SaraRaeDraper @AprilWheeler5 @NotCloudyAllDay and most of them had starts earlier in their careers, usually flat racing, then they transitioned to jumping (disclaimer - I'm not a fan of jumps racing) one of the jumps cards run back on 4/18 had a 13YO, as I recall

@AprilWheeler5 I didn't see the race yet, I was waiting for it, either they didn't show it on TVG2, or I just wasn't looking at the screen, & I missed it...was recording, will go back & watch when I have time

@AprilWheeler5 @Mindy43087085 @NotCloudyAllDay A lot of Steeplechase horses are older, but they are also much lighter raced some of them only make 3 or 4 starts all year.

@SaraRaeDraper @Mindy43087085 @NotCloudyAllDay I'm glad that Timer Moses got through his very first start EVER at age 9. Mindy and I were shocked when we saw he was allowed to run!😮 Can you imagine 14 being the cut off for being allowed to run?😠😡😡😠😠😡😡😡😠😠

@Mindy43087085 @AprilWheeler5 @NotCloudyAllDay A local trainer said Arizona doesn’t have a maiden cut off, they do cut off at entries at 12 unless the horse has won in the last year, and do not accept entries under any circumstance for a horse that is 14+

@SaraRaeDraper @AprilWheeler5 @NotCloudyAllDay same here, and the DRF article mentions that, but I guess they're that desperate for entries?

@AprilWheeler5 @Mindy43087085 @NotCloudyAllDay I'm surprised they even took the entry since most states explicitly deny entry to Maidens over 6yo unless they have finished in the top 3 in one of their last 3 starts.

@Mindy43087085 @NotCloudyAllDay Thanks, Mindy! Congatulations on Rocksalot!🥳 I'm glad that Timer Moser got through the race safely. 😊

We're LIVE with @ABRLive at Poker for Ponies, our charity poker tournament supporting horse aftercare presented by @coolmoreamerica & @ChurchillDowns! Follow along the competition and hear from industry personalities ahead of the @KentuckyDerby! ♠️♥️♣️♦️ x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

“Poker is a bit like riding a horse: Everyone thinks they can do it, but they’ll fall flat on their face without patience, training and practice.” ~Rick Bennet This is how we #PokerForPonies here at The Bridge Sanctuary! As far as we’re concerned we were dealt a Royal Flush when God sent these wonderful creatures to safety through our gates! There’s still time to sign up and play or attend and support aftercare! Go to resracing.com/poker-for-poni… for all the info you’ll need. Only two days left! And thank you again to the organizer/hosts @resracingky for their continued commitment to aftercare, especially the lost souls found in the slaughter pipeline (this applies to the majority of the residents here). And today we’re starting our May hay fundraiser so we can pay our awesome hay guy and get some delivered before the rain comes tomorrow night. We’re setting the goal at $6,000 again because we also have farrier (Abner lost a shoe. Again.) and feed to buy and we’d rather not use those funds for hay. Will you help us make it to goal? We are at $367 raised so far (the overflow from last month and Jana’s contribution yesterday) so we have $5,633 to go! We are always so grateful for everyone’s support. And as always every donation is tax deductible. 🩵 Venmo: @TheBridge-Sanctuary PayPal: thebridgeintx@gmail.com CashApp: $redransom Zelle: (626) 676-2556 Direct link: paypal.com/paypalme/thebr… #rescue #Texas #ForgottenToForever #thoroughbred

This will be fun, hopefully we remain above "freezing"

Yikes...

@Chrissy_Ottb We actually owned a very small percentage in one of her horses through the International Venture, she is very upfront and honest about costs, timelines and retirement.

A trainer I really like - wish there were more like her.

@WelbourneStud @KristenCorey6 I've seen a list where 43 (1/4 of the list) belong to the same owner and they are spread out across all 3 trainers.

@KristenCorey6 Just awful. Glad that the ORC has benched those three stables. It's just inexcusable for 171 horses to get to this alarming state.

@WelbourneStud here is one of the local news reports.

@Chrissy_Ottb How have you cost them millions? I GOT STATS if you need to refute their claims that you cost them money...

Someone send this to lawyer who claimed I cost the Puerto Rican horse racing industry “millions” with my letter to the editor ✍️😜😝 🤷‍♀️

@Mindy43087085 I wonder if the brought her stateside to breed and she didn't take so they are keeping her fit to maybe do a fall campaign before trying again next spring

Could this possibly be correct? COACH ALBERT LADY (4YO filly), who's been at CMR her whole career (last seen there finishing 7th of 8 in a G1 11/11/25), has now shown up at Keeneland with 3 works in April (her digital certificate is currently assigned to Churchill Downs)

@Chrissy_Ottb @chiefmucker @GloriousAllianc Yes, we can. I've tried to find a reasonable way to bring all my Data online where multiple people can access it at once

@SaraRaeDraper @chiefmucker @GloriousAllianc Can we connect about adding this to my website? I’m happy to attribute the work to you!

C.H.P.R. bought 18 at OBSAPR2026 for a cumulative total of $347,000.

@GloriousAllianc Both OBSAPR2026 & OBSMAR2026

@SaraRaeDraper Thanks Sara!

It is a muddy disaster with standing water everywhere, but no wind damage

@Chrissy_Ottb They were chasing the storm that dropped the preliminary F4 over Vance AFB in Enid that was on the ground for a while (news said almost 15 miles) it did drop another one by Lake McMurtry (about 10 miles away) but it was just a baby and not down long (F0/F1)

@SaraRaeDraper 😵‍💫

Nothing like watching a storm chaser live stream and realize they are looking out over White Barn Estates, that's 2 miles from the Pasture & a mile from our personal house.

One down near Lake McMurtry, the sirens in town are going off (we can here them out at the pasture)

@GloriousAllianc I can pull the list tomorrow morning

@SaraRaeDraper Will you publish the list of all the names of the horses and the owners so we know who they are and the general Public can decide how to proceed?

Looks like the storm cell that produced the tornado near Vance Air Force Base will skirt just north of us
