First of all, to Marilyn and all those personally suffering from Las Vegas, my heart and prayers go out to you. No words can describe this tragedy.
On a good note, the video is incredible. Zenyatta is a blessing and a joy. This is a reminder of how beautiful and transcendent she is.
Marilyn Braudrick
Thank you Kathleen, just got my video on Saturday from Santa Anita gift shop. John Shirreffs and Mike Smith did a signing for all who wanted it outside of the gift shop. They are both such very nice people. John’s wife, Dotty was there also. She was the original spokesperson for Zenyatta’s original diary and she did such a great job!!

Dear Sheena:
Glad Enable will have a well deserved rest. Wonderful win and nice ride by FD.
Hoping this latest and horrific killing of innocents will finally result in revision of US gun control laws and once again ban the sale of assault weapons (machine guns) and conversion kits. Won’t be a foolproof deturant, but a common sense step to take. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Judy B.,
I am in total agreement with you about assault weapons. The sole purpose of this type of firearm is to kill people — they never should have been available to civilians. I can only hope for a ban on public sales of these weapons of mass destruction. Assault weapons have nothing to do with the 2nd Amendment, IMHO, and should be restricted to the military. Don’t know if we can close the barn door at this point, but I hope the powers that be will at least try.
Hugs and Love
(Sorry if I have offended anyone. I will try to leave my soapbox out of the blog.)

Dear Marshall:
Well said indeed; exactly my feelings. Love and Hugs, JB
sheena.davies(wales)
Dear Marshall and Judy.Sadly I heard on the news last night sales of guns are actually increasing since the massacre.As I am sure you know we’d introduced stricter gun control after Dunblane in 1996.Nothing happened after Sandy Hook so I am afraid I cannot see a change now.Love and hugs
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
It has been noted that gun sales always increase after these horrible events. The reason for the increase is linked to the anticipation of possible gun restrictions being enacted. Sad but true.
Hugs and Love
Janie in L.A.
Don’t worry Marshall – I for one totally agree with you. These types of guns should never be available to anyone (outside the military) and the fact that he was able to amass such a huge collection should really have raised red flags! How many others out there are doing the same thing? We must let our Congress people know that we’re holding them accountable and to stop kowtowing to the NRA. Enough is enough!
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Janie,
Fingers crossed that someone in D.C. will “grow a pair”, especially as far as the gun lobby is concerned.
Thanks for the post.
Hugs and Love

A Frankel filly out of Prowess has sold for £2.5 million at Tattersalls.She is a half sister of Oaks heroine Talent Bought by Donald Sackville on behalf of King Power racing(owner of Leicester city football)she may go into training with Andrew Balding.A very beautiful individual.It’s kind of sad to see the dispersal of Ballymacoll stud where the immortal Arkle came into the world when owned by the eccentric Dorothy Paget.One of Islington’s fillies by STS’s went for over half a million yesterday.Now the mother of 11 fillies she actually slipped one foal who they believe was a colt.According to the Stud manager she didn’t want a boy!She has been covered by Kingman this year.

Very sad news about Hovis.He needs our prayers like never before.He has lost the sight in his left eye and a lot in the right due to cataracts.Karen has few options she could either put him to sleep now or risk surgery.Given his age size and weight plus an intolerance to sedatives he could die during surgery.If he survives there is the worry of such a big horse coming around but Karen will never give up on her baby boy so he will be operated on soon.The tears flowed as the vet told her they must have an incredible bond.Hovis and his mum have brought such joy to our lives he doesn’t really deserve this but then we all know life isn’t fair so please pray for the big guy.He needs them more than ever Love and hugs
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
Oh no, this is horrible news. Will certainly pray for a positive outcome for dear Hovis. Prayers for comfort and healing for both Hovis, Karen and all his family.
St. Francis, Hovis needs your help — please watch over him and keep him safe.
Hugs and Love
sheena.davies(wales)
Dear Judy.As you can imagine Karen is devastated about Hovis and so thankful to the vets for comforting her.she will need to be strong for her boy.We can only pray he will survive the surgery at least he will have some quality of life.Goodnight God bless you LM PC HT and all the sweeties.Love and hugsSheenaX

It is so sad about Hovis. He has brought so much joy to us. Praying that all goes well with him.
Godspeed to our boy, Keen Ice. Hope they decide to retire him after the BC this year.
Marshall,
I think most of us agree with your stand on banning assault rifles and devices that can turn a gun into one.

Plane Containing Horse Feed and Vet Supplies Lands in Puerto Rico
THOROUGHBRED CHARITIES OF AMERICA October 2, 2017
LEXINGTON, Ky. – A Swift Air flight carrying nearly 20 tons of hay cubes and veterinary supplies departed from Miami at 4:30 a.m. today and landed in San Juan, Puerto Rico at approximately 7 a.m. The plane, funded by The Jockey Club and Thoroughbred Charities of America’s Horses First Fund, is the result of a week-long effort undertaken by numerous equine groups to get aid to the more than 800 Thoroughbreds at the Camarero Race Track and to begin assisting other horses on the island.
The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Foundation, Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA), The Jockey Club, Brookledge’s Horse America, Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare, and the Texas Equine Veterinary Association (TEVA) worked closely with Ranch Aid, a FEMA appointed organization that assists with logistics and care for large animals during natural disasters. The Humane Society of the United States also assisted by facilitating the federal approval of the shipment.
