He's back on the work tab, but puzzling...

Ran into Buff Bradley this week and still trying to wrap my head around the news, first reported last month by @DRFMcGee, that he no longer trains Divisidero; has been moved to Kelly Rubley. Two G1 wins, a G2 win. I'd sign up for that right now.

Forever Unbridled will be retired from racing following next weekend's Dubai World Cup, and her owners have planned to breed her to Medaglia d'Oro. @DRFHersh

What's up with Ocho Ocho Ocho? Is he still in training?

It seems odd that Irish War Cry would run there instead of the Grade 1 Carter one week later. Last I heard, they were pointing to the Carter, though obviously that could have changed.

Please don't ever subject me to that guy again ( not Graham ):-) I had to turn it off immediately.

Do you want to tell me what GRAHAM said or should I call him myself?

Haha, wanted you to see that Graham didn't really explain much because "that guy" kept interrupting and didn't give him a chance. Basically said Irish War Cry is doing great and it's Florida Derby Day. Sorry for the tease, I just love watching Graham interact with his horses. I'd love to hear his reasons.

Graham and Anita are terrific people. Racing is better off for having them.

This son of Brownie Points won the G2T Muniz Memorial H. today, two Graded Stakes wins in his first two starts this year. Can't wait to see where he goes next.

Synchrony finished 1st by 1 3/4 lengths, on March 24, 2018, at FAIR GROUNDS in Race 9.
Off odds: 3.00

Surprised no-one seems to be discussing The Player's serious, perhaps life threatening injury, unless I missed that discussion--- he is going to have surgery tomorrow to relair 2 fractured sesamoids in his right leg--there is info on his FB page

But we are, this poor boy is all over the forum. I started the discussion in the "Waiting for news on ..." thread.

Imperial Hint winning the Tampa Bay Sprint - he's a little beast. The sprinters are deep this year.
