Weβve said it all along but our family could not be anymore grateful for the ride Baeza took us on & the memories we will always hold of John & Baeza ( π₯ smoothies!). Itβs definitely bittersweet to send him off to his 2nd career and yet weβre excited to support him (cont).
Wishing a happy and healthy retirement to G1W BAEZA! ππ

Sprint was very strong as well. I'm sure some people won't like this one, but the algo is the algo (and it is good!):
Wow that one stings. Like really stings.
Huge congratulations to TO Elvis who came out of nowhere to track us down! What a race by both horses π

ENGLISHMAN heading out for the GI @BreedersCup Sprint. #BC26
Races like the BC Sprint & horses like Englishman mean so much to us. Going to enjoy this weekend for all that it is- been in the game for nearly 60 years and these donβt come along too often π
Lee Searing has owned Thoroughbreds since he was 18. When trainer Cherie DeVaux had glowing praise last year about his 2-year-old colt Englishman he took the report with a grain of salt. go.bloodhorse.com/4iqRuYa @BobEhalt #BC2026
Yesssss!!!!!! So excited about this one π

You know who's a seriously feel-good horse? ENGLISHMAN, that's who. And he clearly enjoyed this morning's chilly temps at Keeneland.
Just a couple weeks out now from @BreedersCup π₯π₯π₯
ENGLISHMAN π₯ The 2x Grade I winner posted his second bullet work of the month, breezing four furlongs in :47 flat (1/51) Friday morning at Keeneland.
Plenty of pats from trainer @reredevaux on the walk back to the barn.

Englishman is such a pro. Breezes like a monster then just saunters off the track like a barn pony.
As a Daddy. Everyone can have their thoughts and opinions but know that we always did right by the horse and he earned over $2 million dollars & competed hard until the very end. Proud of you Baeza and thank you for all the memories you provided to our family. πππ

Weβre so excited to see Baeza in his next chapter as a daddy as we believe in his bloodlines & in his ability. Heβs extremely special to our family & given us experiences that we do not take for granted. Team Baeza has always shown up & we deeply appreciate your love & support.
Lots of opinions going into Friday but we believe in this guy and what he can do. Looking forward to seeing him compete on Friday! πππ
Baeza will try to defeat the defending #BreedersCup Classic Champion in Friday's #WinAndYoureIn Jockey Club Gold Cup. π€©
