Not only does Sergio de Sousa keep Cozmic One happy and healthy at his farm, he goes out of his way to share updates with us. Here’s a glimpse into Coz’s birthday morning at De Sousa Stables.
Don’t know if Z was bred this year. Zellda is at Lane’s End now and I’ve read that she may have been bred this year. Nothing official from Team Z though on Z or Zellda.
Hi Zsters 👋 & Team Z 🐴
IK ive been MIA.🙁 But i haven’t forgotten about you. Been 🙏praying 🙏 regularly for all. Hope every1 is staying safe n healthy 🙂.
RIP over the rainbow 🌈 bridge 🌉 for 2ft & 4ft loved 1s.😇
I hope every1 had a nice Christmas 🎄 & New Yr✨🎉!
Happy Valentine’s day 💝!
Happy belated birthday 🎂 to all who’ve had 1s that I’ve missed!
I’m mostly ok . Dialysis is going well🙂. Still having lots of migraines😨 (weather doesn’t help) + vision👀 issues & Trying to schedule cataract surgery. The surgeon now has Covid so it’s postponed some more. Sigh. Trying to schedule dr appts is a royal pain. Ugh.😑 But other than that, I’m hanging in there👍.
Much luv HugZ ❤ prayerZ 🙏 to my wonderful Z family ‼️
Vamp🧛♀️
I’m inclined to agree with them on this issue. Seems doping is more rampant in all types of equine sports than we ever knew; certainly in horse racing.
Hoping the recent cases resulting in imprisonment of the offenders serves as a deterrent to others who would harm horses. Love and Hugs, JB
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
I meant specifically in regard to Medina Spirit. Baffert couldn’t be that stupid . . . could he??
judy berube
Dear Sandy:
Seems unlikely, but at this point, I just don’t know. Love and Hugs, JB
Thanks so much for these articles, Judy. I’m afraid that I have to disagree with Sandy about the NY Post article. It cites too many equine veterinarians who vouch that EPO use is rampant in the sport. If it’s a question of Baffert’s word against that of an equine vet testifying to Congress, I know who I am going to believe!
Wow Vamp Sue hope everything you mentioned gets better. Just looked at updates on foal patrol and Spanish Bunny still seems in no hurry to have her foal.
Coincidentally, Traveling Tiger had her foal 2 days early in the year of the Tiger. The Bengal Tigers however lost the Super Bowl. Spanish Bunny, who has had 6 other foals pretty much right on the money must have decided to be fashionably late this year as she is 2 days away from being 2 weeks late. It could be worse. She now has a pasture pal named Pink Caddy who was supposed to have had her foal back in January. YIKES! Oops almost forgot, you can see Traveling Tiger’s little filly who is a month old now on the foal patrol site. Good Night and Pleasant Dreams to all.
Read the article in BloodHorse. Horses have to come first or there will be no Industry. I think people are fed up with the lack of concern for the welfare of the horses.
Those parties need to read The Mission STATEMENT!
Interesting and the looks like a certain someone has been playin’ both sides.
Have been waiting for that decision and can smell it from here.
JB, yes, I am a fed-up one!
Interesting that the states involved in the suit are where smaller tracks are located and mostly race Claiming horses. Only God knows what conditions exist. If it’s happening in high stakes races, just imagine. 😢
Dear Judy and Ann,
ACKKKKK! I’m fed-up, too!
The Horseman’s Benevolent and Protective Association???
What a joke! Plus, an outfit using the words Liberty and Justice means, IMO, generally anything BUT these days.
Oh the lack of humanity — what a world. These people make the “Wicked Witch of the West” look charitable.
Hope I don’t get in trouble for this. Sorry for the rant. ❤️

Here we go again. Well, the Jockey Club tried to put a cap of 140 mares to be bred to a stallion in a season…………May have decreased the number of heart attacks in stallions.
Dear Judy,
Personally, I think the rule made a lot of sense with more humane treatment of the stallions. Power and money are more important than the horses, I guess.
Thanks for posting this article and the Pennsylvania Inquirer article. I hope folks will wake up and do the right things before it’s too late.
Hugs and Love
This video is great. Pussy Foot is a gorgeous mare and that foal is a lil’ spit fire.
Looks smart and spunky!
Thanks, JB. Bet this little girl holds a special place in your heart.
Dear Judy,
Thanks for posting this video. What a cutie-pie she is, and Mama is quite a looker! Good health, long happy life and lots of love to both.
Hugs and Love ❤️
Speaking of beautiful babies, Spanish Bunny had a COLT at 9:20 your time. He is of course adorable. I had to watch the actual birth on Vimeo, but there are now pictures on utube under Foal Patrol Season 5 Spanish Bunny. Have a glorious, wonderful night.
Oops, I forgot to mention I think his Daddy Uncle Mo would be very proud. The next foal is due 03/13. The mom is Elate, who is the daughter of Medaglia d’ Oro and Cheery by Distorted humor. The dad will be Speightstown. Let’s hope this little isn’t quite as late as SB ‘s who was 15 days late. Unusual for her I understand. She’s had 6 other foals 4 of which have gone to race. Let’s hope this little one gets to do the same. Good Night and Sweet Dreams.
Happy Friday everyone. Hope you are all surviving this latest round of wicked weather. It was nice to get a glimpse of the grass, but now we have a quarter inch of ice underneath the latest round of snow.😩. I certainly won’t be going anywhere.
Hovey is still in recovery mode from the indignities of last week, but despite being a good boy in the school for Auntie Em, he is plotting revenge for the mothership😂
Dear Sandy,
Uh-oh, the mothership better be on her toes! Hovis hijinks are on the way!
Thanks for our weekly visit with our super-hero. 🥰
Hugs and Love
Worried about LaCrete. Something happened in the Rachel Alexandra Stakes and she was vanned off. Didn’t watch the race; was just listening. Praying she’s OK. Joel R. was aboard and he pulled her up.
Love and Hugs, JB
Turnerloose won and paid $37. Congrats to her and connections.
Epicenter was one happy boy. Sure was having fun. Congrats.
JB, Zandon and Smile Happy did make up some ground and hope they continue on their Derby quest in good form. Zandon is taking the route from the school hard knocks. It could pay off?
Love and hugs.
Zandon is a very determined boy. I read he broke in the air and still managed to finish third. Really love his Warrior heart. Hope they all stay healthy. Love and Hugs, JB
Dear Judy and Ann,
Congrats to Epicenter and connections on the Risen Star win!
Also, congrats to Smile Happy and Zandon for 2nd and 3rd!
Love those Run Happy offspring — seems “Mattress Mac” is an extremely nice guy.
Congrats to Happy Soul (another Run Happy offspring) — she ran so well yesterday at Oak Lawn and won convincingly.

Cafe Pharoah (American Pharoah), remember him as a possible candidate from Japan for the KY Derby couple of years ago. He didn’t make it to the Derby, but he just won a stakes race that qualifies him for the BCC. Hope he stays healthy and makes it here this year. He’s gorgeous. Scroll down for the video. Love and Hugs, JB
Congrats! Pack your tack box Champ!
It is so much fun watching Sodashi race. Way to go beautiful girl.
The Japanese bring with them positive and respectful spirit. Enjoy their participation.
Dear Judy,
How awful that this happened to Creative Plan and who knows how many others. Those photos of his front feet say it all — I don’t see how anyone could have put this innocent boy into a race. So heartbreaking — where do these people come from? Yes, morally wrong is an accurate description, along with cruel, negligent and heartless.
RIP sweet Creative Plan, so sorry. Running with winged-feet now. 💔

Dear Judy,
How awful that this happened to Creative Plan and who knows how many others. Those photos of his front feet say it all — I don’t see how anyone could have put this innocent boy into a race. So heartbreaking — where do these people come from? Yes, morally wrong is an accurate description, along with cruel, negligent and heartless.
RIP sweet Creative Plan, so sorry. Running with winged-feet now. 💔
😔
Hugs and Love

RIP innocent one.
