How about the Apple Blossom? Zenyatta and Azeri both won it twice.  And Ron McAnally campaigned the great Bayakoa all over too, winning the Apple Blossom, Spinster and the Ruffian.

Granted, these are different connections, but one would think with Spendthrift as owner they might want to take her on the road for at least one or two races outside of California.

I hope she goes to the Apple Blossom, because I'll be there! 

He's a fine horse. He hasn't had it on the Big Day these past two years, but he's a very fine horse.

Ugh, what a start to the day. She's a Tiger DQ'd as well as a horse broken down and a top jock off for the rest of his rides. Then such a terrible ride on Laughing, a PACE horse. Please get better after this, day.

Does anyone know the size of his Argentina book and how many he may have bred (southern hemisphere season started in September)? He bred 187 mares in America this year.

All of the stuff I can find on rectal prolapse says it is a cause of either straining or trauma, or an underlying condition. None of them mention breeding as one of the strains. It seems to have more to do with straining during bowel movements, or conditions relating to the colon. Or, apparently, it just happens.

But maybe someone with more veterinary experience can speak more accurately on this topic.

I expect the detail was to stem a predictable flow of questions from fans and investors.

I stunk up today except for Testa Rossi and Beholder. Maybe I can do better tomorrow.

Juvenile Fillies: Sweet Reason, She's a Tiger and Untapable
F&M Turf: Laughing and Marketing Mix
F&M Sprint: Sweet Lulu
Turf Sprint: Mizdirection and Caracortado
Juvenile: Havana
Turf: The Fugue, Little Mike, Point of Entry
Sprint: Justin Phillip and Secret Circle

Classic: Palace Malice, Game On Dude, Paynter

   He was one of my favorite sires.

I have to freak out here. I love this horse. She always fires even when everyone thinks she shouldn't. (Juvenile Fillies, Kentucky Oaks.) I am ecstatic right now.

Anyone else a fan?

Great call! 

DRF has Laughing at 8-1. No way that will hold, but if it did, she'd be mine. Broadway Empire (Dirt Mile, 12-1) and Testa Rossi (Juvie Fillies Turf, 8-1) are two others I'm looking at. I haven't worked on the Turf, Sprint or Classic yet.

Thanks for sharing. What an incredible, heartbreaking story.
