@mig4450 @TheNYRA Nice images

The construction at Belmont making great progress. Unfortunately the ⁦@TheNYRA⁩ card was abbreviated by snow and a reluctance to continue. I remember riding in far worse conditions but you never want to force horses and riders to compete when they are not comfortable.

@Steve_Byk @BH_AEberhardt @TheDalRae @XBJohnnyD @IanWilkesRacing And a wonderful night it was! Good food and great company!

@BH_AEberhardt @TheDalRae You were part of a great night at the Dal! @XBJohnnyD @SKIPSCAM Tracey & @IanWilkesRacing

Have once in a lifetime dining experiences as often as possible. That’s probably my best life advice. @TheDalRae

Sad to hear champion #RagstoRiches has died at Ashford Stud where she resided for many years. Condolences to all the connections and long-time handler Luis Rosales and all at Ashford who cared for the flashy mare.

As we approach the 151st Kentucky Oaks, we’re looking back at Rags to Riches’ commanding performance in the 2007 edition. 🌸 “It’s all Rags to Riches, much the best here! Rags to Riches and Garrett Gomez gallop home by four lengths.” Trained by Todd Pletcher and owned by Michael Tabor and Derrick Smith, her Oaks triumph was a true showcase of stamina and class—and the perfect prelude to her historic Belmont Stakes victory later that year. 📸 Photo credit: Anne M.

Unbelievable performances 🏇🇭🇰🔥

Bishops Bay, recent winner of the Forty Niner (G3) at @TheNYRA, set a record for @Keeneland Horses of Racing Age sale when purchased for $1.3 million by @PedroLanz, agent for KAS Stables. @EliteRaceSales consigned Bishops Bay, as agent and was the HORA session-leading consignor.

@Maggie_Kimmitt @BTRracingstable @FairHillTC Brilliant image!

Lost (almost) in the fog last Saturday morning at Fair Hill, POST TIME does his "morning stretches" before galloping with Emma Wolfe.

SO proud of my father! His Murray State football number is officially retired (#81) , and the @StarlightRacing silks are featured on the @racersfootball helmets this weekend. What an honor. Congrats, Dad! Go get ’em, boys! 🌟 🐎

@reredevaux Thoughts and prayers out to the universe

It’s been a rough 24 hours personally, I needed a sunrise like this. If you’re a praying person please lift up my man Chuck.

For those that hadn’t heard I have been dealing with some unexpected, yet major health issues. I have not felt up to taping @GICracingmedia or doing any writing either which is why there haven’t been any shows or Goingincirclesdigest posts recently. Hopefully when I get back on my feet I can join @UrbnHandicapper and resume the podcast and do some writing as well. For those that have reached out, I thank you sincerely as it means a lot. Chuck
