Good News & Not So Good
Our mare Yuma Thurman ran on Friday. She was in the lead most of the way but got caught at the wire. That was actually the good news — she ran well and pulled up good. Coming in second also … Continue reading

Never say never — still looking for the right horse
Claiming a good thoroughbred horse is more difficult than you might think. The first step is to find horses in the appropriate price range. Once we have selected a few horses to look at, it’s time for some investigating. Fortunately … 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
Hail Hail The Gang’s All Here!

Off and running again
Well, we were fortunate to find a few races for which our horses qualify. Pursuxit was off and running in the 9th race at The Downs in Albuquerque today, Saturday, September 6th. He made a gallant effort but the track … Continue reading

Recipe for Success
Hurray for California Chrome! Congrats to the owners! They definitely had the recipe for success — oh yeah, even cookies. I’d love to have that recipe for horse cookies — they worked. But what really works for thoroughbreds is the … Continue reading
