Trainer Bret Calhoun letting me know OUR MONEYMAN, second to FURTHER ADO in Sunday’s G.3 Matt Winn Stakes at CD, came out it “good.” Will be planning toward the G.3 Indiana Derby on July 11. He won the 2019 Indiana Derby with MR. MONEY (Allied Racing Stable (Chester Thomas)) and 2021 Indiana Derby with MR. WIRELESS.

Congratulations to Further Ado & @bradcoxracing on the win but how about the gutsy effort by Allied Racing’s @louisianabred homebred Our Moneyman running a big race to get the graded stakes placing for Bret Calhoun! 👏

Saddened to hear the news of the passing of my dear friend @EricGuillot14, but a blessing that he no longer has to suffer. Miisunderstood by some, and despite our differences at times, I will forever cherish the memories we spent together with those special moments at the racetrack, in the Winners’ Circle, and in our personal lives, simply priceless! They broke the mold when they made ‘da Jenius’, and frankly, there will never be another. With love and sympathies to Anna, his daughter, Olivia, sons Rhett, Carter, and Eric Jr., I will miss our talks. Thank you for all that you did for me and my family, I am grateful. Until we meet again my brother, and may God rest your crazy soul. 🙏💔🏇🇺🇸 #Greatest

Meet the man behind the farm. 👤🐴 Owner Carrol Castille has dedicated over 38 years to the horse racing and breeding industry — a passion that started when he was just 16 years old. His commitment to excellence is the heartbeat of everything we do at Whispering Oaks Farm.
