The end of KEE sales signals time for yearlings to begin to move to TCs for breaking and early training. Ocala offers climate for all the steps to be taken before young stock is ready for racing next summer/fall; a journey sure to be full of surprises.

Keeneland yearling prices setting records daily. Buyers from all over the world aggressively seeking KY bloodstock. Sale only half over with over $400 million spent. Competition for solid racing prospects is strong but speaks well for the health of the industry.

In 1980, 45 years ago, Temperence Hill won The Rebel. AR Derby, Belmont, Travers, JC Gold Cup AND Super Derby I at LAD for Loblolly. This Saturday, Fountain Lake goes in The Super Derby for Shortleaf. Shortleaf bred Perry County as well. The long game in action.

After a relaxing break, Quietside back in training and rapidly returning to form. Natural athlete, sound and healthy. Hate to miss the Alabama but we’ll be back in the mix in the fall and for OP next season.

After 14 starts 5 yo g Black Apple tells us he’s ready to retire to Shortleaf Farm to join 10 other old warriors there. Beautiful white Arky bred ran well. Sound and healthy for us to enjoy at home.

The Blame Game involving the Kerrville flash flood is disgusting. Urban writers and “experts” who can’t find the Hill Country or the Guadalupe on a map blaming locals for an act of God. Shame.

D. Wayne is blessed to have lovely wife Laurie by his side. Wayne and BAS have made a fine team for 20+ years. A credit to our industry.

Black Apples effort to try turf at Indy spoiled by monsoon rain. Still, he’s such a white beauty it’s fun to see him in action. He likes slop but has had racing cancelled twice this year mid program with him saddled in the paddock ready to run.

Is where the mark of many a truly good race horse is revealed. Looking forward to a great race on Saturday. Can’t wait to see the new Belmont when complete. The Belmont track is, IMO, the best and most honest course in America.

At dinner in January 45 years ago (80) Joe Cantey and Doc Lavin and I agreed that our maiden Temp Hill was worth about $50k. Noms for Triple Crown were closed. Then he won, won and won and then the AR Derby. No Derby or Preakness but a $15000 fee

It’s always fun to watch horses Shortleaf bred or acquired over the years in action. Last weekend saw six such horses racing at four different tracks win 2 and place in 3. Only one off the board.
