Big loss for owners too. The industry should find a way to film and catalog workouts!
Terrible news. @Watch1ST shutting down is a massive loss for gamblers. I'm sure there are many out there who would have paid a subscription fee for this valuable service. I was always surprised it was free. We're going back to the dark ages of just guessing in maiden races.

ALERT: Owners wishing to nominate horses to the 2027 Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes will do so by nominating to the Thoroughbred Championship Series, as opposed to nominating to the Triple Crown. go.bloodhorse.com/4sTWrxz @BH_FAngst #KYOaks2026 #TC2027

Sassy Sof digs in to capture race 5, @Jockey_Jg27 at the reins for trainer @JFDAngelo, owner The Elkstone Group, and breeders Aaron & Marie Jones. #GulfstreamPark #SunshineMeet

Sassy Sof and @Jockey_Jg27 in front in the 5th race at #GulfstreamPark.
Congrats to agent @alexa_zepp and The Elkstone Group on Sassy Sof's msw win at Gulfstream Park. Flashed nice speed in start 2 on the turf. I had a small consulting role in the purchase. This filly's Herd Dynamic was made for speed and competing. Glad to see her get the 2yo win.
Volume on/off for X videos hasn't been working properly for me the last week or two. Anyone else noticing issues?

Rams coach Sean McVay did not buy the NFL's corny Virtual Measurement graphic, throws challenge flag.

The Belmont Stakes, at 1 1/2 miles on dirt, is a great race. Yes, many American horses are bred to be sprinters. But 1 1/2 miles remains a classic test at the G1 level across the world. This is not an archaic distance. We should want some of our horses to be able to stay 12f.
So if NYRA really wants to change the distance of the Belmont Stakes (G1), that idea was incorporated into the design of the new $550-million track they are about to open, right? 😅

Englishman did it eazzzy thru a slow opening quarter. Announcer hyped that sequence oddly but an absolute monster run. Had me thinking about Runhappy's stakes record in same race (1:20.54). ❤️
Englishman with the cheat code out of the gate of the H. Allen Jerkens @thenyra @Saratoga1863. Best 3yo sprinter since Lost In the Fog?

New on the blog: the Marshall Gramm / HISA data scandal.
HISA is calling it "insider trading." Their portal never checked whether you were allowed to see what you asked for.
Millions for Palantir AI. Nothing for the basics.
