This is horrible news at the Saratoga Harness track where many horses perished at a barn fire this morning. No cause was reported yet as the investigation continues. We don't want to report the number of horses lost yet as the number come in. @WTEN @ABC7NY @FoxNews @cnnbrk

Undefeated in her 2 starts, Prix de Diane runner LILT (GB) is out of @BreedersCup F/M Turf champion DANK (GB) pictured here, who won the 2013 race @santaanitapark LILT'S sire is French Guineas & Derby winner LOPE DE VEGA (IRE) 🐎
"More than likely it's going to be a bit of an ad-hoc ride!" @TomMarquand looks ahead to his big ride on Lilt in the Prix de Diane later...

One hundred and thirty-eight years after Paul Cézanne @cezanneart... The charm of the Chantilly forest, near the racecourse and the château, remains as captivating as ever.

Tonights race to dinner results: For retired winners (and a mini donkey). Turf is firm, views epic. 1st Lordy - Broke alert, saved ground along the rail, drifted out late but held 2nd Downy - Slow into stride, distracted by fly, moved inside winner but couldn’t find more 3rd Fern - Wrong lead, wrong species, restricted by muzzle, still tried her best

Stunning memorial monument at the National Sporting Library & Museum honoring the equines who served during the Civil War. Memorial Day 🇺🇸🫡🐴
