I am not a fan of racing, but Zenyatta captured my heart. She is so special, such a gifted mare. She ran 20 races against the studly boys, and beat them 19 times out of 20, I will always remember her for her greatness, and presence wherever she went!

Dear Z Fans:
I don’t want to take the light off of Z’s Birthday today, but you have got to see the Florida Derby Replay and Forte’s win. He looked like Zenyatta coming from behind and flying by everybody in the BBC. As soon as it’s up, I’ll post the replay. Hope he came back well.
Super congrats to Forte, Irad, Mike R., Todd P. and all connections. Forte was brilliant today. Love and Hugs, JB

It was a day for closers at Hot Springs, also. Congrats to Wet Paint and all connections on the Fantasy Stakes (G3) win AND to Angel of Empire and his connections on the Arkansas Derby win!!
Brad Cox and Flavien Prat were having a great day!
Hugs and Love ❤️

Dear Marshall:
Congrats to Angel of Empire, Wet Paint and all connections.
Our Peggy told me that Wet Paint is a granddaughter of Street Cry. His legacy just keeps building with the success of his girls (and boys).
Love and Hugs, JB

Marshall,
I was thrilled with all 3 wins. Forte’s broodmare sire is Blame, Blame is the sire of Wet Paint and Angel of Empire is a great great great grandson of Alydar! Claiborne was the very first horse farm I visited and their horses have a special place in my heart. And Alydar is the reason I became interested in racing. Flavien Prat gave excellent rides. Fellow Louisvillian, Brad Cox, had a great day! As far as I know, all of the horses came out of the races safely.

Wonderful pedigree!
