How is THIS okay?
@ChurchillDowns
as an owner and breeder, I ask do you even care if the horses or riders get hurt? I want to apologize to the Japanese. Their horse deserved so much better than this. Shame on Tyler Gaffalione for thinking it’s okay to ride like this. Dirty.
@baghzaad
@ChurchillDowns
Safety does come first, and that’s why Sierra Leone needed to stay in his lane and not repeatedly keep slamming into the Japanese horse. The Japanese rider did absolutely nothing wrong. He was just fighting to keep his horse on his feet and in a straight line.
@JKramp6
@ChurchillDowns
Yes, it is, but when you bump to the point the horse loses his balance in his rear end and is shoved into another lane 6 times over, it’s called illegal.
@raypaulick
I respect and admire the Japanese for that, but I think Churchill Downs has proven more than once they need new stewards. Really, really bad what they did yesterday. Their job is to protect the horses and riders and they failed.
@xhunter4u
@ChurchillDowns
How many Thoroughbreds do you raise and race? It’s what I do. I’m telling you, the stewards didn’t follow the rules which are in place for the safety of the horse.
@RepoleStable
Sorry but I have to disagree on this one. The Stronach Group has let GP run down and it’s purely a management issue. Do you know they don’t even have toilets in the barns for those poor backside workers? Huge rocks are being found all over the track.
@MNuckerson
@ChurchillDowns
The part where his horse kept slamming into Forever Young and shoving him into the inside by several lanes in dangerous and against the rules. Do you own race horses? How many training bills do you pay? I’m curious?
@RepoleStable
My horse was cut off BAD at GP in a race and run into the rail. Could have killed him or the jockey & stewards did nothing even after my trainer threw a fit. The place is a dump and as long as they don’t give a hoot about horse safety their numbers will continue to decline.
As an owner and breeder of TB’s this is disgusting that the stewards at
@ChurchillDowns
didn’t file an inquiry. How embarrassing that the Japanese were clobbered down the stretch by the 2 and nothing was done. Do y’all even care about the safety of horses and riders?

I’m a breeder and owner and mine are pets thank you very much. I love them like they are my children! If you don’t love them like pets you shouldn’t be in the business.
Mighty Miracle ran Sunday at Gulfstream. Wasn’t our day but he came back safe and sound, and that’s the most important thing! He’s our orphan baby who’s had 2 colic surgeries. He’s a survivor! Thank you to our trainer Kathy Ritvo for the love and care he gets.

I’m so heartbroken for your loss. As an owner and breeder who does everything on my farm by myself, I know these horses are your children. I am praying for you and the whole team!

comes back from time off and then his works were ridiculous. I hope HISA and the industry digs deep on this tragedy. That horse didn’t have to die. Had Zayas LISTENED to his horse he could have pulled him up. This was an experienced stakes horse, so he wasn’t just “rank”.

few years ago there were TB’s fresh off the track in a kill pen in LA. They posted their papers so I saw on Equibase they had raced a few days before. I put in a call to the stewards at Delta Downs twice about it and no one returned my call. I also reported it to the JC and

If you could have one thing from this Auction on Sunday what would it be? The Fasig Tipton Package (John Legend Tickets, Brook Tavern, Box at the Races) looks good to me!! Buccaneers 🏈 tickets would be nice as well. 💃🏼🍷🐎 Maybe a puppy. Everyone needs a loyal companion. 🐶

@RepoleStable
It’s OBS too. I don’t have a problem with Japan, they take great care of the horses and pay top $. I do however have a problem with Korea and Puerto Rico buying our babies at OBS. Lord only knows what happens to them.
This is our 2 year old colt by St. Patrick’s Day. His nephew, Fulmineo, is Grade 2 placed (Pilgrim Stakes). We call this guy Sully but his Jockey Club name is Blue Ribbon Day. He is on vacation at Rivermont Farm, but will resume training next year!

@sidgustafson
Where on earth do you get this from? I own racehorses and I assure you none of mine get drugs. I wouldn’t do it if it was as crooked as you say. You do know horses are drug tested and constantly watched by track vets all across the USA, right?
Space X re-entry with crew on board. It went right over our head! Just the coolest thing! About a minute later we heard the big sonic boom! It was so directly over my head that I had to spin with the camera to get it!
