Let's hope that's enough racing for 10-year-old Green Gratto, who returned from an 843-day layoff as a new gelding and just finished a well-beaten last in a $20,000 claimer at Monmouth. Millionaire won the Grade 1 Carter in 2017 and deserves a forever home.

One of the most beloved horses ever due to her unique personality, exciting off-the-pace running style and phenomenal race record. The only female horse to win the Breeders' Cup Classic and a scant head away from perfection.

Harvey Pack was my idol, my mentor and my friend. I'm heartbroken by his passing. Incomparable in terms of on-air charisma, Harvey was generous, kind, and always accommodating. I was awestruck by him.
