My favorite part of Swiss Skydiver, she’s raced 9 times this year, on 9 different tracks, challenged the boys, and keeps on running. When was the last time a top horse, boy or girl, ran 9 times, with more running to go? Great training job @KennyMcPeek congratulations

A special win for the Joe Sharp barn, as #5 Callie's Grit wins the finale at Saratoga under @luissaezpty ! 🏇 Callie's Grit was named in honor of Callie Witt, one of Joe's exercise riders who tragically passed away in a riding accident last year. 🎥 #TwinSpiresReplay

Feeling good about yourself boosts self confidence in a way titles and money never will. And everyone needs one person, so sit with when the walls are closing in, that is proud of you no matter what has happened no matter what hour of the day it is.

Something that’s been on my mind, several years before we dated, my wife sent me a picture of winstar as she drove by. I texted her back, I’d love to be the trainer there some day. Fast forward nearly 8 years. Its divine that i ended up here, and divine i have found myself here.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and positive comments yesterday! Means a lot! In the mean time the horse is good and departing NY for KY this afternoon, and for I, I am heading to KY to check on the barn and try it all over again at Churchill in the last! #letsgo

You know all of those D saddle towels When I post picture of me on a race horse, the majority of those were when I rode for Tommy Drury. Such an amazing horsemen, class act, and a all around good guy. He helped me change myself from a boy to a man and I couldn’t be happier!!!

The excitement doesn’t stop! Pinhooker and Keeneland ringman DeJuan Smith sold his colt today at #KeeSept for $105,000, tied for highest price of the day! The Instagrand colt out of Sistas Ready (hip 3552) was consigned by @TaylorMadeSales . Congrats DeJuan!

Usually on Sundays I go to the barn with my kids, but today with lows at -4 at the barn I didn’t think it was safe for them to go, so I called my crew, and they said “be with your family, we got the barn today” and it’s been a ball to stay home with them! I love my crew

Cot Campbell was a visionary before his time. He revolutionized the game of thoroughbred ownership and opened the door for thousands of new owners. But his biggest legacy will be the grace and class he held constantly. He will be missed!

The morning after the debate, and the comments on Twitter are atrocious. What happened to being a decent human? What happened to being nice? Why does it always have to be a fight, left versus right? Why can’t we Make America Great TOGETHER?
