At nearly 80 years old, Danny Ramsey still rides horses every morning for trainer Kenny McPeek. But when I asked him about life, he shared something even deeper — a love story 54 years strong. Proof that clean living, good energy, and true love never get old.

.@TGjockey and the Churchill Downs Jockeys’ Room stand in solidarity with Paco Lopez and oppose his unreasonable suspension. #JockeysGuild
Not everyone grows up on backstretch stories. For Trevo Brigmon, it started after graduation — turning down the Navy to choose horses instead. he’s found not just a career, but a family.
Head down, grinding. 💪 The horses are the stars, but behind every champion are the people who put in the work every single day. 100 years from now, I want names like Trevo Brigmon to be remembered. The Real Players Inside the Backstretch.
Here’s the full conversation with Ginny Terrill Malone, daughter of trainer William “Red” Terrill, who spent 50+ years in the game. She shares memories of her father, the old days at Belmont and Randall Park, and why this life has always been about love, family, and devotion to…

Real stories, straight from the heart. 🎙️ — Tim Zorn, on The Real Players Inside the Backstretch
From New Orleans to Saratoga, Rashad ‘Pop’ Bruno was introduced to the track as a kid by his uncles and grandma, learning the basics of horsemanship after school. Years later, he was hustling every morning at 4 a.m., looking for work on the backstretch. That’s the spirit of the…
In the paddock at Saratoga after the 2024 Hall of Fame ceremony, Clark Williams, president of the Ed Brown Society, reflected on the long-overdue induction of Abe Hawkins — 157 years after his passing. More than a moment of recognition, he called it a springboard for building a…
Trainer Allen Jerkens knew every trick of the trade — and always kept his grooms honest. The Chief always knew. 🐎👀💵

As Latonya Wilson from Rood & Riddle explains, there are countless aftercare programs and second careers for these horses. From hunters and jumpers to eventing (the triathlon of equestrian sport), Thoroughbreds have opportunities to thrive beyond racing. What are some of your…
Roy Seals has spent decades on the backstretch. What makes him stand out isn’t titles or recognition — it’s the way horses respond to him. The way they lean into his care. The way he talks about them with love. His horsemanship, his style, his touch — that’s the foundation. And…
On the backstretch, money doesn’t matter. Titles don’t matter. Here, it’s about the horse. That’s the connector — the equalizer. Rich or poor, everyone finds their happiness on this side of the gate.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sometimes all it takes is one introduction… and a tradition begins. Tom Leay met Jim Cox in Saratoga, and that friendship opened the doors to the real side of the track. 🍻🐎 This game has a way of pulling you in. That’s what makes the backstretch so addictive.
🌎Racing is global — it connects people, cultures, and traditions. Wayne Alleyne, a horseman from Barbados, made his first trip to Saratoga this summer. 🏇 He loved every minute and only wished the meet lasted longer. For him, it doesn’t matter where he is — Barbados, Saratoga,…
