What does it take to win?
Saturday’s Preakness really showed what it takes to win a horse race. Of course you have to start out with a really good horse, but there is so much more to winning a race. The old Irish saying is “The … Continue reading

Broken Hearted
Yesterday was a real heart breaker for me. We had our horse Cut to the Front running at Sunray Park. He was training so good and looked ready to win. We had claimed him with the intent that he would do … Continue reading
Time for Change
We are getting ready to send our horses to New Mexico for the summer. Arizona gets too hot for the horses and the meet at Turf Paradise ends on May 5th. Our racing team will be off to Albuquerque Downs. … Continue reading

On the move in 2015
It may seem that I have been lax by not posting anything new. Oh well, I started 2015 in the ICU and I am now recovering at home. My health has been problematic for some time now, but that’s a … Continue reading

Pursuxit by a nose
On December 15th, our long time favorite Pursuxit did it again. He ran a mile race and won by a nose. Our jockey was Ronald “The Rocket” Richard. Ronald is new to Turf Paradise and has done exceptionally well on … Continue reading
Smile and say cheese
As promised, I have photos to share. These are the last three horses that we claimed. The first claim this season was Cut to the Front. Cut to the Front is a 4-year old California bred gelding out of Storming Fever. … Continue reading
December looks promising
As previously reported, we tried Quick Cielo in a race that was above his class to see how he would do. Unfortunately, he didn’t get to run his kind of race. Quick Cielo is a front runner and needs to … Continue reading
Time to make our own luck
Here we go again. We are going to try to claim a horse today. It’s kind of frustrating finding the right horse. We have the money available to make the claim and we actually attempted to make a claim but … Continue reading
If wishes were horses, all men would ride!
As previous reported, we made an attempt to claim a few new horses but not very successfully. Our trainer Drew Fulmer dropped a claim on a really good horse, but as expected so did three other trainers. There was a … Continue reading
The Dream is still alive!
There are things that dreams and fantasies are made of. I think I found that in my favorite horse Tonight at Eleven. Tonight at Eleven is a thoroughbred race horse with more potential than anyone but me seems to recognize. … Continue reading
