Honor AP @LanesEndFarms is a seriously undervalued sire. We booked multiple mares to him this year for clients looking for budget stallions. If you need a late season DM me.

It’s the end of an era as William “Jinks” Fires saddled the final horse of his career today at Oaklawn. A mainstay of Arkansas racing, Fires amassed more than 1500 wins and ranks among the most successful trainers in Oaklawn history. His standout trainee, Archarcharch, captured the 2011 Arkansas Derby. He leaves the sport as a true “living legend,” widely admired for both his accomplishments and character.

“I just think we’re in the age of analysis paralysis.” -@McPeekRacing And that sums up the horrible, untenable situation in Kentucky. Regulatory vets are threatening the great work a lot of people have done to make this the best circuit in North America.
Kenny McPeek after Right to Party's vet scratch: “I don’t know how to do this anymore. Under this climate, I don’t know how to do it. I can’t wait to retire. I would quit today and feel okay about it. It’s not any fun anymore.” More: drf.com/news/kentucky-derby-…

Beyond the debate over whether a horse should or shouldn’t be scratched. One thing is certain: the more advanced and rigorous the detection technology becomes, the more imperfections in a horse’s health will be found. As a result, more and more horses will be prevented from running purely out of caution. And when that happens, there won’t be a single owner or trainer left willing to endure such an unforgiving regime

And as they keep scratching horses, both in the morning and behind the gate , they’re also driving out the owners… and so the sea is slowly drying up… until it dries completely…
Another day @keenelandracing with 10 Regulatory Vet scratches. Embarrassing for the sport. I brought 10 new fans today and they’re shocked asking me questions about how the sport is falling apart. I’m going to continue to be vocal for all horsemen

So Nick Smith & his team scratched John Hancock this morning after looking at him for 30 min. & multiple jogs bc it was not obvious to them. He has not run in 365 days, passed the vet test in Fla. to run two weeks ago, & passed the blood test. But here is a question. Ky average catastrophic breakdown in 2025 was 1.24/1000 starts. National average was 1.04/1000 for 17% improvement over Kentucky. If Nick Smith and his team are doing such a great job, then why is the breakdown rate higher in Kentucky when he scratches twice as many horses? 💁‍♂️

I’ve been told if Bill Self retires, Kansas will target Kentucky’s Will Stein because of his work with Lamar Jackson.
