This is the only horse that survived the HORRIFIC fires last night in Saratoga. His name is “Twin B Speed Dial” and he suffered burns to both of his ears but seems to be doing well other than that. The fire claimed the lives of 17 of his stablemates 💔.

Still smoldering after this horrible Saratoga Harness track fire. The horses who passed away are covered by sheets. This is the most heartbreaking horse story we've ever seen.

@bhvnce @fuadyabz23 This is a joke, right? Most college stadiums have a majority of seats as bleachers, the concessions and stadium infrastructure are junk, parking is a disaster along with ingress/egress and there is extremely minimal public transportation.

@fuadyabz23 realistically the USA alone could probably host the World Cup 3 years in a row without reusing a single stadium. There are 138 Division 1 (FBS) college football teams, of which, probably 100-110 play in world class stadiums.

bro it’s like 14th game and i haven’t even seen a stadium being reused yet

@Michaelfiore @VerySerious111 No. They could not. You are delusional.

@VerySerious111 Texas or California could EASILY host a World Cup.

One of the most incredible aspects of the World Cup in the United States is what we DIDN’T have to do to prepare for it. Qatar built multiple brand new stadiums, a metro system, roads, hotels, and entire districts. South Africa built new stadiums, parking, etc. Brazil spent billions on stadium and transit projects. Russia built and rebuilt venues across the country. Meanwhile, the U.S. was like: “We’re good.” Like, we modified the playing surface in some stadiums and that was it. The sport venue infrastructure in the US mogs every other country on earth and it’s not even close.

DEMIAN, el segundo hijo de Flightline que debuta, lo hizo ganando hace minutos en Japón. Corriendo en grama, con 480 kilos y luciendo apotrillado. Arrancó en los 100 finales. Reitero que Flightline no va a fallar como semental. Vuélvanlo a anotar.

Greenwell, the first foal to race by Horse of the Year Flightline, a green second on debut @ChurchillDowns. Balloteer the winner.

One newcomer to America on the track late tonight: 23.06 @santaanitapark Astronomically 4/1 @PaddyGRacing former DOB santaanita.com

100 days until the Return to Racing at Belmont Park! Go behind the scenes with @samanthagperry for a closer look at the racing surfaces taking shape ahead of September 18. ⤵️

Japan sets its sights on Deauville again ! 5 Japanese horses entered to challenge Europe’s elite on the Normandy coast this summer!

@GhostofSwiftH Don't use Beyers as a measuring stick

Flightline is GOAT . Speed figures will tell you that as well - Highest Thorograph number ever - back to back 120 + beyers

One recent newcomer to Aus on the track early Thursday: 5.30 @seymourrc Bull Run 3/1 @cwallerracing @RalphBeckett country.racing.com/seymour

@rkjackson1 @TodayinHistory This is my favorite Secretariat race. Shipping to Toronto, soft turf and he just obliterated the field.

@TodayinHistory Secretariat’s last race October 23, 1973 - Canadian International Championship Stakes at Woodbine Racetrack, Toronto; A mile and 5/8ths on the turf. He won and I was fortunate to be there. youtu.be/Ow2LcVdijt8?si…

Today in 1973, the greatest horse race in history was run. Secretariat won the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths to become the Triple Crown winner and set a world record time that has never been beaten! 🎥: CBS Broadcast

@HR_Nation Mane Minister

Chief Wallabee is the 1st horse since Wicked Strong in 2014 to finish 4th in 2 Triple Crown races. Not counting the Triple Crown winners, who is the last horse to finish in the same position in ALL THREE classic races? First correct response wins a Super Screener subscription

@ballydolphin Off all the tracks in America that have closed this one hurts the most.

I’m so mad about the Chicago Bears announcement for many reasons but holy shit.

🏆𝗛𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗬 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗠𝗢𝗡𝗧 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗦 𝗗𝗔𝗬! Throwback to Ogden Phipps's EASY GOER romping to an 8-length victory in the 1989 edition with Pay Day up for @ClaudeMcGaughey. His time of 2:26 is the 2nd fastest to Secretariat’s record-shattering 2:24.
