Kathy and Sheena,
We will always remember the amazing Barbaro. Such a brilliant star who shone for much too brief a time — we miss you forever. Happy 16th, dear boy.
RIP Barbaro and Dynaformer.
Hugs and Love
Kathy
Dear Marshall,
Oh yes, we will always remember Barbaro…his talent, his rock star good looks, his charming turnip-shaped blaze, a true WARRIOR. And how ironic his sire passed on his birthdate! RIP Barbaro and Dynaformer.
Hugs, Kathy XOXO

David Redvers of Tweenhills stud has just said goodbye to the fine mare Just the Judge.Aged 9yrs she developed colic after foaling in March but surgery seemed successful.She was taken to the Three Counties a few days ago in discomfort and deteriorated overnight.She was sadly euthanised.RIP my lovely.

Happy Birthday to Songbird and to the brave Barbaro in heaven. She brought joy to our hearts and he broke them. RIP Big D. You won’t be forgotten either.
Got to say I am happy with the post the He Who Cannot Be Named, Omaha Beach, drew. I hate to stick with the favorite, but I picked him after the Rebel. He is built like a tank! Also, like WinWinWin. Grandson of two Derby winners and his mom has a cool name.
Safe trip to all the horses and jockeys.

Calyx is back with a bang so fast Frankie nearly lost his cap.
I don’t know if you remember Hettie the mare from the Dream Alliance team.Her stables were set on fire she got burned and her foal died.She gave birth around 10pm last night.Both mother and foal doing well.

Congrats to Un De Sceaux on the victory in Punchestown!
Congrats to Calyx on the win!
Happy Birthday to Songbird! Thanks to Donna Z. for the heads-up.

Another sad day for the Qatari Royal family as Dunaden dies from complications following a paddock accident.He won the Melbourne Cup in 2011.RIP Sweet boy.
Marshall (NC Broad)
Dear Sheena,
This is so sad. RIP Dunaden, brave boy. Gone much too soon. Run free and happy.
Condolences to all connections. :-(

RIP Dunaden? Love and Hugs, JB

Bummer! Omaha Beach scratched from the Derby! He is out, poor Tax is coming out of gate #2. I am left with no one but WinWinWin. Could be worse each of his grandfathers were Derby winners. Sunday Silence and Smarty Jones. Pretty Good. Saves we a 30 mile trip to bet.
Judy Berube
Dear Shirlee:
Just never know what can happen with our beloved horses. Hope Omaha Beach recovers easily and completely.
Great pedigree. Safe and sound to all the horses and riders. Love and Hugs, JB
shirleeinindy
Judy,
I have learned my lesson. I will not breathe the name of my pick until they open the starting gate. The imps of Derby misfortune seem to be lurking and waiting for me to say the name.
Godspeed to all of the horses and jockeys. Mike has another Derby mount but there is some controversy about another jockey being taken off at this late date.
Judy Berube
Dear Shirlee:
Well, I hope that He Who Cannot Be Named has a great trip. Safe and sound all.
Shirlee, I didn’t expect Mikey to be riding in the Derby either. I was surprised, but I’m guessing that CL and his agent would have had to agree to the change and compensated accordingly as well I would think. Love and Hugs, JB

The short guy has retired after winning on Kemboy today.I will always remember his victories on our beloved Kauto Star.Yes there were the final hurdle falls but his record at the Festival was second to none.The winners more than I can remember really.I especially loved Annie Power’s Champion Hurdle win.He will always be remembered as one of the greats and although he was about 5ft 10ins he is forever the short guy.Enjoy your retirement with your lovely family Gillian and the girlsX
Marshall (NC Broad)
Congratulations to Ruby Walsh. All the very best in your retirement!
Thanks for keeping us up to date, Sheena.
Hugs and Cheers
Judy Berube
Dear Sheena:
All the best to RW. Wishing him a happy, healthy retirement. Love and Hugs, JB

Dear Sheena:
Was sad to hear that Omaha Beach will miss the Derby. Sad for Mr. Mandella, Mikey and all connections. Thankfully, it is expected that he should be fine to return to racing by Summer. Praying for successful surgery and complete healing. Goodnight. Love and Hugs, JB, LM and all the Sweeties

Great to see Buveur D’Air back to his best in the Punchestown Champion Hurdle.Ridden for the first time by GN winning Jockey Davy Russell(Regular pilot Barry Geraghty has a broken leg and Mark Walsh has a suspected fractured ankle from an earlier fall)Another disappointing run from Apple’s Jade.Congratulations to Nicky Henderson and the Seven Barrows team.
Barbara Brayton
Bummer. Glad Omaha Beach is ok, though.
Maybe I will go with Code of Honor, or Wicked Humor.
