She and her pal Swifty are working on a co-authored racing blog when they're not handicapping (or working).
This is the organization in the previously mentioned article.
Story of a race horse rescuer with little support… highlights some of the ugliness of the sport.
It would be great to get outfits like this one the type of media attention that the Barbaro foundation is getting.
Even better, it would be great if the Barbaro foundation could funnel a percentage of it’s donations to lesser known outfits!
Given that the Lexington exacta paid $1002, next year I may do more exacta boxing on longshots early in the 3 year old season… or maybe I’ll try it for the 2 year olds later on this year.
$1002 for a $2 exacta!!
I really like Dawn after Dawn, particularly at the odds she’ll be at.
I had her across the board in the Tiffany Lass for a nice little pay out.
I already have her in my futures, but I’ll have money on her on race day too.
Also, nice backstory on Hawley.

I’m currently tied for 116th…
I had Slew’s Tizzy across the board (and in real life too… yay!!).

I reiterate, extremely cute (pictures), be warned.

I love Premium Tap and am bummed to think he may not run much, if at all this year… was really hoping to see him at least in the Breeder’s Cup this year.
insights from one of my favs
and Keenland by Andrew Beyer
My strategy for the 3rd pool was to basically bet against Curlin, Street Sense & Circular Quay (and watch them win, place and show on Derby day). The things that I don’t like about Curlin are that he hasn’t raced against tough competition and we have no idea if he’s got the heart for a fight. Could he hold his own against Street Sense in the stretch? As for Street Sense, he seems to need precise placement to really get the job done. While Circular Quay overcame a potential huge diaster in the Risen Star and finished well, I’ve never had a gut feeling for him. $10 on:
of the people who got Curlin at 30-1 in the 2nd Derby Futures Pool. He was the fav in the current pool BEFORE his 10 1/2 length vicory in the Arkansas Derby at 6-1, and even that seems like a bargain compared to what he’s gonna be on Derby day.
and I am extremely bummed out about it!
I love that horse and think he had a real shot.
