The January Keeneland Mixed Sale starts on Monday, January 9th. They have a little bit of everything available to purchase. Broodmares to yearlings to racing age stock.

Oaklawn Park also opens this Friday, January 13th. The bottom purse is $23,000 for $5000 claiming. Maiden Specials run for $72,000, highest currently in America. The purses will increase at Valentine’s Day, as they always do.

We want to wish all our four legged thoroughbreds a Happy Birthday. Treats for everyone today along with an extra flake of hay.

We hope you all had a great 2016 and we look for bigger and better things to happen in 2017.

Churchills’ fall meet just ended. We managed to win one race, lose one horse to a claim and claimed a horse winning a ten way shake. We are still looking for horses to go to Oaklawn and also looking to claim some at Turfway to take to Oaklawn. The purses there are much higher and claiming is very aggressive. Maidens run for $75,000.

We also won two races in New York this month, which was great. We ended our New York season with three wins and a stakes placing with total earnings of $142,877.

The yearlings are almost all broke and being ridden daily on the farm.

Took a day off and went to the Ohio State/Michigan game and had a great time. It was a great game with two overtimes. I know I got my moneys worth.
