Prayers for safe foaling! I love you Z!!!!!!
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all of you and may the Good Luck of the Irish follow you today and always. Thank you for sharing this lovely video of our beautiful Queen.
Celebrated Hudson’s birthday today with her and Charlie’s (Sunday) today with him. Here are the two of them doing their best to beg for more treats (this is after they have had a whole lot of treats). Also, a Happy Saint Paddy’s Day to all of you from Lola Mae and me. Love and Hugs, JB
Dear Judy, Thank you so much for these beautiful pictures. So glad Archie is doing better and Lola is a doll as always. Charlie and Hudson looked so well.
Do you remember me asking you about Egg Drop about 6 or so months ago. Her son just sold in Ocala. I didn’t get to go this time but saw and read the article in Bloodhorse. Such a beautiful boy. Sounds like he is going to be a real Handful. Bob Baffert better leave him alone. Too Funny. I never knew mom Egg Drop’s nickname was the White Witch. Always followed her career.
Thank you. It was so good to hear Archie nicker and see him walking so much better.
Our BGG posted the news about Egg Drop’s colt on the previous Blog. I do remember you mentioning Egg Drop to me. I tried to find news on her, but could not. Little Red Feather Racing (Jim Rome) owned and raced her, remember? Mr. Rome purchased her two year old son (her first foal) and I read today he named him Scramble; cute! He’s by Tapit. Can you imagine how gorgeous he must be; a Gray no doubt.
Like you, always loved Egg Drop and her name. Didn’t know her nickname either. Maybe that nickname is an indication of why her boy is a handful. Love and Hugs, JB

OOPS:
Correction Peggy, they named the Tapit/Egg Drop colt SCRAMBLED. Love and Hugs, JB
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
I saw Egg Drop at Taylor Made when she was in foal to Tapit. She definitely was NOT friendly in the least. Sort of sulked in the back of her stall. We were all laughing re “wonder what color THIS baby will be?” He sure is gorgeous!!!
Judy Berube from Rhode Island
Dear Sandy:
Yes, ED sounds a lot like Hudson; beautiful moody Diva. Hope you are well.
Another zero for me today; went with Royal Mo! Next time for him. Love and Hugs, JB
Archie nickered when he heard my voice and walked to me to get his share of carrots and stud muffins. He’s doing so much better. Thank you for all of your prayers.
The paddocks are covered in ice and the horses have been inside since Wednesday; they are behaving exceptionally well so far with only a few whinnies every now and then wanting to get back outdoors. Hopefully tomorrow the temp will warm up. Love and Hugs, JB
Dear Archie,
A man after my own heart. . . treats 1st . . . then ‘hellos’! Praying for warm sunshine
‘healthy’ days. with love, Elizabeth PS would love to be there to give your big neck a hug!
Judy,
I saw that Gary was riding him. Mike is just on the inside of them. One horse in between Mike and American Anthem and Appalachian Gem and Gary. Safe trip to my 2 favorite jockeys and safe trip to all the horses and jocks.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, sweet Z! You look lovely in your “Irish Swag”! It appears that your farm mate AP Indy, got some, too. I hope your pregnancy is going well, and that the birth is safe and uneventful for you with the result of a little princess that looks just like you. Or a handsome colt, as long as everyone is healthy and happy, that is the most important thing. I only want all the best for you and your connections. Hope to hear great news soon.
Dear Judy:Gorgeous photos of Lola,Charlie and Hudson.I hope the horses can get out and about again soon.It has turned wet here tonight.I left posts on previous blog about De Coronado and Douvan’sinjury.And so Cheltenham has past for another year and we have new champions.Gordon Elliott was crowned Top Trainer but Mullins got 6 winners.Dodging Bullets has been retired and is going to live with his lass.A lot of us wish Cue Card was retired now he fell at the same fence today again but all was well with him.So happy to hear Archie is a lot better.Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT Cap Hercules Frank Bentley and all the sweeties.Love and hugs SheenaX
I’m so glad you enjoyed the photos. I love when Hudson and Charlie put on their “moose” faces looking for more treats. They make me smile.
I saw your post about DC’s upcoming race. Godspeed to him; safe and sound. I bet he’s grown and filled out quite a bit. I have to find your update on Douvan. Wishing Dodging Bullets a happy retirement and I too wish the same for Cue Card. Hope he’s OK. I’m relieved that Archie is doing so much better. Thank you for your prayers. Congrats to Mr. Elliot. Glad Mr. Mullins had grand luck at the meet. Love and Hugs, JB
Sometimes owners come along that care and know when their horse has had enough of racing.Such was the case of 2015 Champion chaser Dodging Bullets today as he was pulled up at Cheltenham.Only 9 he has been retired and you should see the joy on his lass Lucy Sharp’s face as she was told by his owner Martin Broughton that he could spend the rest of his days with her.By Dubawi out of a Kris S mare he was bred by Frankie Dettori.Have a wonderful life Dodge and be grateful you had the best connectionsX
