When the Nazis occupied Kyiv, there was a football match between the Germans and Ukrainians. The Kyiv team won in front of a crowd of Nazi officers, knowing they’d be killed—and were. Incredibly tough people.
Keeneland Bluegrass day pro-tip (if you’re staying downtown). Go to McCarthy’s around 10:30-11am. Find the guys with NY accents who look like they just murdered someone. Buy them a round. Then listen as they give you 4 locks. Count money at 6pm. END
Anyone see
@Michael_Wrona
call of the 5th at LosAl?
He explained Sigur Ros was named after an Icelandic rock band currently on tour in the US playing the Greek Theater on August 28th DURING the race…
LEGEND
@losalracing
Anyone think Forte would have run a 107 yest and beat Two Phils and Mage yest? Gonna go on record saying Mage is improving at a startling rate and may be best horse in training.
Hi
@TheNYRA
I’d like to lodge a complaint that your on air analyst is a fucking diva who should be fired for like 1500 reasons and being a bitch ain’t one
Would make a hype video but I’m not a 16 year old chick named Kyle. But…start the countdown y’all—only 10 days til we return to greatest track in Queens for eight months!!!
Did they cancel the SA Derby, Bluegrass and Wood? How are so many people “committed” to Forte? Next weekend we will see faster horses potentially run even faster.
Could see this defunct SoFla track make a big comeback with a Container Store and West Elm…maybe a giant statue of a horse fighting a dragon? Also they can grow grass!
I don’t watch CA racing because of Baffert & his cheating & breakdowns, which I see no one cares about. If he’s in the Derby it will be the first once I’ve missed. I’ll be skipping all the CA preps also.
Did the Times really break this Forte Saratoga drug story? Is this industry so bad at covering itself it took the only major US news outlet to break the Toga positive or did I miss this? Crazy
Was next to guy in acid washed jeans and wrinkled shirt at GP Sat, casually says “nice thirty five thousand exacta there” watching Gotham feed. Race starts, binoculars up, screaming “Chili” like horse abt to win the Arc. ‘Twas Michael Dubb rooting his horse Chili Flag home in G3
Talked to my lawyers all day yesterday and they said I can’t release a video countdown yet but can say ONE WEEK UNTIL AQUEDUCT OPENS for 10 months of racing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NYT, WaPo, NYPost have not reached out
Nysos is owned by people from the Merrimack Valley, where the old Rockingham Park is and not far from Suffolk Downs. No longer any TB racing in New England, and no Derby for hometown horse. Sad!
In 1963 NYRA did not like the new grandstand renderings and one of the trustees, Harry F Guggenheim, asked Frank Lloyd Wright to submit a design that was not approved because it created too many shadows on the track

Kyiv is the same city that blew itself up (city tunnels were loaded with explosives per-invasion) a few weeks into the Nazi occupation. Tough people.
Having been on Twitter now since Sept (mainly for horse racing news) I’d like to give a big shout-out to
@SPNnation74
for being a genuinely caring and positive person.
Hialeah actually would make sense to be put to use as the permanent home of el Breeders Copa—40k capacity, location by two major airports, off 95 by like 12 resort areas. Good thinking HRT
Frankie Detorri has over 250 Grade 1 wins in 18 countries. Riding for fun at SA, and some clown thinks he's not world class because he rode a few races at Turfway without a win.🤦♀️🤦♀️He should focus on getting his 1980's RV working & move it out of the bowels of Tampa RV park.
Gulfstream Park currently massive crime scene. No word yet but “based on the numbers of detectives and responding officers” sounds serious per TV news
#RoyalPalm
meet kicks off w bang
Gulfstream not running today makes zero sense. Not only would they be only A-track signal til SA, there’s also so many touristas down for long weekend. Sad!
Thanks for mansplaining this to all the white people who have never been arrested. Seriously, if you don’t know the difference between jail and prison you’re either an idiot or lived a very sheltered life.
Prison and jail are two different things!
Most of you mean prison when you say jail.
Prison is where Trump will end up if he’s convicted and sentenced to serve time.
If Trump were to be held in custody today (he’s not) that would be jail.

is from a place and time I know well and want to give him a shout out for being a positive, cool influence on horse racing. Never takes a step over the line. Talent
How can one apply to be amongst this guys “many…random friends from across the world”? Need to learn how to talk with my hands while explaining that giving admittedly bad bets will get me on TVs at bars
