We are saddened to announce the loss of Marshall Rooster last week just days after his 27th birthday. A 17-year resident of the farm, his racing career saw him finish in the top 3 in 27 of his 74 starts. He will especially be missed by his paddock-mate Royalian.
Congratulations to Ontario-bred filly Luv Your Neighbor, winner of the $300,000 Grade 3 Delaware Oaks at @DelParkRacing for breeders @andersonfarmsTB and 552727 Ontario Inc., owner Lael Stables and trainer Michael Stidham

Oliver Lewis was told to lose the 1st Kentucky Derby. He was to go hard early, wear down the other horses, then fade & let a faster horse from his stable win. He spent the race pulling his horse back, until the owner waved him on & he won the race he wasnt meant to.
Flightline's offspring are hitting the tracks🙂

It's only natural to gravitate towards Frankel on this the anniversary of Sir Henry's passing. However, here's some others
who I'm sure would also hold fond memories for him:
Wollow, Kris, Diesis, Pushy, Le Moss, Ardross & Buckskin
Seattle Slew has always been one of my favorite racehorses. As a bit of trivia, I recently discovered that back in 1977 composer William Bolcom wrote a beautiful Seattle Slew-inspired piece called "Seattle Slew Orchestral Suite." There are three parts and one is called "Preakness Promenade." That's my favorite. It may be on YouTube if you want to give it a listen. I think even Slew himself would have enjoyed it.
#OnThisDay in 1977, #SeattleSlew captured the 109th Belmont Stakes at Belmont Park, NY with jockey Jean Cruguet aboard. He became the 10th winner of the American Triple Crown & is ranked 9th among the 100 greatest racehorses of the 20th century. #HorseRacing 📸: Bob Coglianese

Best of luck to all of them.
