Dear Judy,
Sounds as though BB needs to run a tighter ship for sure. Hope they all will be much more careful with the innocent lives they have in their hands. I surely hope none will deliberately expose these beautiful creatures to cough syrup or any other questionable products.
Hugs and Love
Kathy
Dear Judy and Marshall,
Goo…Bob said in an interview before the Breeders Cup Classic that he was going to be running a very tight ship…not tight enough, I guess!
Hugs, Kathy
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Kathy and Judy,
This has to do with Merneith who tested for dextromethorpan (a cough syrup ingredient) after a race on July 25th at DelMar so that was before the BCC interview. Still, they need to be much more cautious — horses’ lives depend on it, and it has happened way too often.
Hugs and Love
Marshall (NC Broad)
Oops! That’s dextromethorphan.
Sorry for the typo.
Hugs and Love
Kathy
Ooops…that was supposed to be “Gee.”

Wondering what is up with Bob Baffert. Sounds careless to me. No excuses.

Please give us an update on Zellda and Z20. Back in August, one of the trainers said Zellda had been injured. There are also rumors that Zenny was bred back to Candy Ride this year. Why no announcement? What happened to baby Z this year?

Hope all of y’all are safe and well.
There is some really good racing on TV this weekend. Three of Curlin’s daughters are going in the Demoiselle on Sat. One is the daughter of Curlin and Dreaming of Julia.
As y’all know Curlin is one the studs I am a nut for his kids. Good luck and safe trip to all of them.

Dear Shirlee:
Godspeed to Curlin’s girls and all going this weekend. Love and Hugs, JB

Midnight Bisou had a date with Curlin yesterday. Lindal

I saw this on Bloodhorse.com this morning. This should be some foal! Good health and happy pregnancy to her.
Who is The Empress going to or do we know yet?
judy berube
Dear Shirlee and Lindal:
Agree, Bisou/Curlin foal heaps of potential talent.
Shirlee, read that Empress is to be bred to Into Mischief. Love and Hugs, JB
Sandy (Northeast Ohio)
Happy Friday everyone! Sorry this is so late, but after being buried by 15 to 20 inches of snow earlier in the week, the chores were piling up out in the world. My last stop was the bank machine, and they have changed the format of how you deposit or withdraw. It kept canceling my transactions and spitting my card back out! Arrrrrgh!
Anyhoo, having seen the video myself on FaceBook (if there is some way to share those things here, I wish I could figure it out), I can attest to the fact that Hovey DID, in fact, have a few airborne moments this past week as you will read about below. We’ll need to keep our fingers crossed that he didn’t overdo!

Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sandy,
Thanks for our weekly dose of Hovis! Wow, is our hero trying out for the Royal Lipizzaners? ? Airs above the ground indeed!
So glad he is feeling that good, but take it easy Hovey — we don’t want you to reverse the healing process. Take care!
Healing thoughts and prayers are being sent to our Hovis.
Sandy, sounds like winter has landed in Ohio!! NC at last had frost about a week ago — crazy weather here. Stay warm and cozy, my friend!
Hugs and Love

Maybe I’m just a bit too early, but I seem to be having difficulty finding out the winner of this year’s Vox Populi. I voted for Whitmore. Maybe its just because I’m still a bit in shock. Besides losing my little Chiweenie Sassy, I’ve also lost my fuzzy goofball, Floof.
judy berube
Dear Martha:
So sorry for the loss of your beloved fur babies. RIP Sweeties.
Agree about VE’s whip use and happy he was so quick to act when he sensed something was off with Princess Noor. He no doubt saved her from more serious injury. Love and Hugs, JB
