Happy birthday Coz!

Don’t know anyone is interested: Chess’s Dream, grandson of Rachel and Curlin is running tonight in the Mystic Lake Derby at Canterbury Downs for a purse of $$150,000. Safe trip to him.
Dear Shirlee, Judy and Ann,
Best of luck to Chess’s Dream in the Mystic Lake Derby at Canterbury Downs tonight! Safe and sound racing, too.
—-
Thanks Shirley, for reminding me about the racing tonight! I had totally forgotten that racing was on FS-2 from 6-10:30PM.
Hugs and Love
Rachel’s Valentina has a three year old colt, Alejandro, just finished second in a MSW at Churchill on 5/23/21. She also has a two year old filly, Ambassador Kelly, who hasn’t raced yet. She’s had six timed works; most recent 6/23/21.
Alejandro is a Curlin and Ambassador Kelly is a Pioneer of the Nile.
Great to see RA’s legacy continuing. Love and Hugs, JB
Keep looking for the name of the two year old filly by Arrogate out of Songbird. Nothin yet. She has an Equibase Chart, but no name yet and no works listed. Love and Hugs, JB
Well, I guess Chess’s Dream can’t run like either of his grandparents. Did not see the race but know he did not do well. Hope better for Little Rachel’s filly and colt.
Great racing this weekend at Churchill.
Judy, that filly by Arrogate out of Songbird could be a real star.
Belmont R1 tomorrow has Arrogate Lady in MSW. His first to hit the track.
JB, let us know if you find the name. She will be fun to watch.
Arrogate…..sad…..
Shirlee, Chess’s Dream finished 5th of 11. An American Pharoah boy, King of Miami, won and paid $32.00. Arrogate/Songbird girl; true Royalty.
Ann, will keep checking for her name. Godspeed to Arrogate Lady; safe and sound. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Ann and Z Fans:
Just checked to see the Dam of Arrogate’s two year old girl in Race 1 at Belmont tomorrow. She’s out of Maple Forest by Forestry. Manny Franco aboard. Love and Hugs, JB
A nice video from Bloodhorse Grand Dams series; this one on Essential Quality’s Mama, Delightful Quality. She’s in foal again to Tapit. Love and Hugs, JB
Dear Judy,
Thanks so much for these video links! Delightful Quality is, well just delightful! Can’t wait to see her next Tapit foal.
Monomoy Girl is so gorgeous — glad her rehab is going smoothly. Loved seeing her in the aquatic therapy set-up. Wow, what a shiny coat she has; it looks like satin!
I love the interview with Mrs. Jane Lyon and hearing about Littleprincessemma. It really does sound like a fairytale — “Emma” couldn’t have landed in a better place. It is clear that the Lyons loved her and that Jane Lyon sincerely enjoys and adores her horses, especially Littleprincessemma who’s such a lovely girl and has that wonderfully sweet temperament. That’s where American Pharoah got his sweet disposition!
Hugs and Love
Happy Friday everyone ?. Hope my electronic luck will continue with the link to Hovey’s diary this week. He’s been trying his Mum’s patience (just for something new?), but it’s his lady love who’s upset.
Tomorrow is the Ohio Derby, and I hope to go despite a very discouraging weather forecast (which always seems to happen). Looking forward to seeing Proxy who was on the Dervy trail for quite a while and is trained by my friend, Mike Stidham. Will be interesting to see if the track sections of Thistledown has improved any in the past two years but not holding my breath. Only the casino section seems to get any facelifts.
Dear Sandy,
Thanks so much for our weekly visit with Hovis who should be given a comedy show to host (à la Johnny Carson style?)! He would excel at the monologue to be sure. LOL!
Hope the weather cooperates Saturday and that you have a great time at the Ohio Derby!
Hugs and Love
Arrogate’s girl, Arrogant Lady, finished third in her debut today; Race 1 at Belmont. She went off at odds of 7 to 1. The 3/5 favorite by Classic Empier, Interstatedaydream, won.
Will post the replay when it comes up. Love and Hugs, JB
What a terrific win by one of Street Cry’s two year old Grandaughters in Race 8, The Mother Goose Stakes, at Belmont today. Her name is Zaajel (Street Sense). She paid $38.80. Joel R. aboard. Congrats to both of them.
Will post the replay when it comes up. Love and Hugs, JB
Dear Judy,
Thanks for the video link! Zaajel ran a great race in the Mother Goose, didn’t she? Congrats all around!! BTW, today is Todd Pletcher’s birthday — nice present.
The 9th race was exciting, too (Wild Applause Stakes)!

Take a look at Race 10 using this link for the 57-1 winner!

Thanks, JB.
Beautiful win! Congrats!
Very nice birthday gift! Happy Birthday Todd F.
Will be fun watching this group. Carina says….I’m just getting started!
judy berube
Dear Marshall and Ann:
Wonderful run by Zaajel.
Ann, Carina was brilliant. Talented little girl. Safe and Sound babies. Love and Hugs, JB
Wow, Race 10 at Belmont today was amazing!
It was a Maiden Special Weight for fillies and mares, 3 yrs. old and up, 6f.
The winner, Back Channel (a lovely chestnut), went off at 57-1 odds! That was some long shot, $116.00!! Back Channel is a 4 yr. old trained by Rudy Rodriguez and ridden by Jorge A. Vargas, Jr.. Jorge is just coming back after an injury in March so he had a very nice day. Back Channel is owned by Michael Dubb and Michael Caruso — she was part of the Paul Pompa complete dispersal @ Lane’s End Keeneland January sales, Jan. 10, 2021.
She is by Liam’s Map out of Divergent View(xCongrats).
Yay! Congrats to all!
Hugs and Love
Marshall,
I saw that race. Never would have picked that horse! I am really enjoying the racing on Fox Sports 2. I have begun to appreciate turf racing. Learned not to be discouraged when my horse is at the back of the pack.
Dear Shirley,
That was so much fun — the track announcer enjoyed it, too!
I am very glad (and grateful) that FS-2 is doing America’s Best Racing; although, I don’t need another excuse not to clean the house. Dust and Doghair — ever-present here! ?
Hugs and Love
shirleeinindy
Marshall,
I know what you mean. Dust, Cat Hair and Cat Throwup!
Max is just amazing. Godolphin has three REALLY good horses this year (also Essential Quality and Mystic Guide). Will be interesting to see how they plan the campaigns to keep them separated as long as possible.
While trying to find info on Arrogate/Songbird filly, I found this photo of her. BEAUTIFUL! Hope they name her soon so we can follow her. Love and Hugs, JB
Oh my gosh, she is gorgeous. Sturdy is an understatement.
Thanks for sharing this JB.
That Baby Bird needs an elegant name!
Luv ya. Hope everyone has a nice week ahead.

Also, take a look at Race #8 to see the favorite, Spungie, x Hard Spun – Screwgie (x Smart Strike), sail to the finish line. Congrats to Spungie, Joel Rosario and all connections! Note: Maggie Wolfendale on a very frisky Zandar doing the after-race interview of Joel. Zandar is an OTTB — possibly belonging to Maggie? Spungie was very composed — I love her name!!
Enjoy!
Hugs and Love
Marshall,
I was watching most of the races. Spungie was much better behaved than Zandar! Maggie had her hands full. So glad Fox is airing the racing. I like their team much better than the NBC people. Enjoy Richie’s comments most.
Dear Shirley,
Don’t you just love Spungie’s name? Great combination of her dam and sire’s names!
Maggie did have her hands full, but she seemed very competent. I like the America’s Best Racing Team, too. Richie is very good, and I enjoy Maggie, also. In fact, I have come to appreciate Andy more than I did at first; although, he can be annoying sometimes.
Have a good weekend and good luck cappin’!

Poor Hovis — what a lot he has to endure❣️
Yet he always keeps his sense of humor, doesn’t he?
Hope everyone has a wonderful Fourth of July weekend! ? ?? ?
