The stable is at 18 wins for the year to date and $350,000 in purse money won. We ran our first 2 yr. old the last day of May finishing a good second. We also just ran another Two Year Old this weekend in a maiden special finishing a good 4th. Both races were at Churchill Downs. Good beginnings for the 2 year olds of 2013.
A few weeks ago our daughter got married in this field, today we’re making it into hay. Maximum multitasking sorta farm we’ve been blessed with. 
Churchill opens on Saturday, in case you want to get into something more exciting than golf.
Indiana Downs opened yesterday and we had a winning double header. ON Z RUN was coming off 9 1/2 months and ALL THAT GLIMMERS had not raced in 90 days.
Nine days to the Derby. If Lukas wins, he would be the oldest trainer ever. Don’t leave him out of your exotics. Him and Stevens were kind of “testing the waters” in the Arkansas Derby.
The talk of the grounds this week in the press is NORMANDY INVASION. The Paulick Report has ORB as the favorite from a poll. Pletcher’s Oaks fillies looks bigger than 90% of the Derby horses.
Today is April Fool’s Day and baseball season opens today. We hope to see the Red’s in the World Series and that is no April Fool. The Cubs went up two runs in the first inning to give their fans some new hope that usually fades away by June.
Oaklawn Park has two weeks left and Keeneland opens Friday, so spring is here! It is 34 days to the Derby and this past Saturday and this coming Saturday’s preps are definitely shaking up the field. I don’t know about this new points, system, but it is there and that is what they are going by. Over the last ten years there have been numerous horses that have done well in the Derby including Mine That Bird and War Emblem who both won the Derby and would not have qualified to run under this point system. Food for thought.
I know most of you have watched the basketball games and especially the gruesome leg fracture to Kevin Ware. The good news is he is expected to make a full recovery and should be able to play in the 2014-15 season. Louisville did go on to win the game and will head to the final four in Atlanta next Saturday.
My team, the Buckeye’s decided to give Wichita State a big head start then tried to catch up and couldn’t get it done. Next year………
Only five months to football season.
