After all of my years at Belmont Park as an AT I finally broke our maiden as a trainer! It was worth the wait for that performance by Northern Invader. He is a cool dude making quick friends with Reagan. After all she is the good luck of the team
My heart is shattered in a million pieces, my main man Chuck has passed. He is the reason I have the life I have. He was not going to sit around and watch my early 20 something self ruin my life. He gave me focus, direction and he really believed in me. I find it so appropriate
One of my favorite days as a trainer. Getting a call from a breeder to claim one to retire. In her words he’d done enough and deserves to have a better life off the track.
Is this real life?!?! So proud of our entire team going 3-3 on Black-Eyed Susan Day. Congrats to our owners, great job by our jockeys and extraordinary team
Work from all of our staff. Now if I could stop David from referring to himself as David DeVaux
There’s not enough word on any language to express my feelings. Over the moon with She Feels Pretty giving our team our first G1 win. Special shout out to

and Sara team, awesome ride by

This is a very dangerous predicament with tiring horses pulling up. Greg is one heck of a outrider and
@ChurchillDowns
is lucky to have him. Lord knows in my galloping days he’s saved my behind on more than one occasion
4 years ago I took a chance on myself and ended one chapter of my career to start a nee. Not going to lie it hasn’t been easy but so worth it. If you’re at some crossroads in life take a chance on yourself.

Vahva Loves her puppers. I have never met a horse that is drawn to them like her, digs when they don’t go to her stall. Puppers and video courtesy of

The majority of our employees are here on work visas. They left their families back home. The least we can do is bring some holiday cheer to them. If not for their hard work we would not be able to do what we do.
Very proud of our showing at this years Breeders Cup. She Feels Pretty ran a great third, More Than Looks closed like a monster and Stage Raider just wasn’t feeling the Santa Anita main. All came back in great order which is most important. Proud of Team CD headed by

Blissful is notoriously impatient, she is always in the first or second set. Today she had to wait to the second set and was very clear about her displeasure. I caught this sweet hotwalker that came to her rescue. He stayed with her playing until it was time to go.
Back to the barn to give the big girl spoils after her victory in the Gr3 Chicago Stakes

What a great way to top off a truly memorable meet. Our team has worked so hard since the beginning and our clients have been supportive for that I am grateful. Let’s keep it rolling

spring meet on such a high note. This winter had it’s challenges but the persistence, hard work and patience surely paid off today. Thank you to our clients for sticking it out
What a special moment for the Fam to all be on hand for Reagan’s Decisions win. Prior to the race we discussed that any purse earnings from todays race will be donated to the continued recovery efforts of the recent devastating tornados in W KY.
For those that hadn’t heard I have been dealing with some unexpected, yet major health issues. I have not felt up to taping
@GICracingmedia
or doing any writing either which is why there haven’t been any shows or Goingincirclesdigest posts recently. Hopefully when I get back on
We had a great weekend for our stable but celebrating that doesn’t sit right with the weekend we had. I am grateful for our team and clients that always without question put the horses first
4 years ago (almost to the day) Jorge had a bad accident breezing where he broke his back & pelvis. We worked many years for Team CB. I saw him over the winter trying to find his place in life. We made him a FM and today was the first day since the accident he is horseback

Very proud of our teams showing for our 2024 Saratoga season. We ended the day on a wonder note with Montalcino making his debut a winning one, Taking Candy staying consistent in finishing second in the Bernard Baruch S and Pyrenees showing that he can compete at at the G1 level
What a fun day for trainer

Shotgun Hottie wins the Allaire DePont Distaff and She Feels Pretty takes the Hilltop S. at Pimlico! 🏇🏆

What a wonderful day at the races. Brilliant Berti captured the American Derby, we had a case of seconditis with 3 of our runners and one off the board finish. Most importantly all are happy back at the barn. Congrats to our owners, great job by our staff.

It’s a day late but it’s my 6 year anniversary of embarking on my own path with
@cdevauxracing
. The growth of the stable and our team has been amazing to say the least which i am grateful for. I am thankful for all of the clients that have supported as well.
We may be a few drinks in but Alysse just came up with a wonderful idea…race track yearbook. Trainers class would be their team and horses. Have it ready for early Saratoga to purchase and have all meet for fans to get autographs. Proceeds go to charity. Who is in?
Going for a different look today in support of
@Backside_LC
. David and I pledged up to $10,000 of our earnings this weekend to the cause. Our clients answered the call by donating over double that. Good luck to all with runners and most importantly safe trips.
My best training call may have been to make Bully a pony .
@DavidIngordo
may disagree, but when The Wife says retire instead of running for a tag, he chooses his battles.
After exploring all options to save Medalla Match there just wasn’t one that could ensure any quality of life. Our entire team is heart broken for the beautiful punchy and sweet mare.
This guy will be looking for a new career. Never started, he’s had a few minor issues that kept him from the races. Recently gelded, will be ready for a new home when that is healed. Please msg for details, will need references
Very proud of our team, we had 4 runners in stakes 2 winners and 2 third place finishes. Every horse showed up and ran very good races. Thankful for our wonderful team and grateful for our clients that support us all.
After 41 starts my very first horse I saddled as a trainer, Take Charge Tina, retires a winner. I was happy to pitch in, we all need to pay it back to the horse when we can
Rebel Red makes his next start in Sunday’s Bernard Baruch. There is no rule when entering to Account for a significant change in his life, he is now racing with only one eye. The sky has shown such resilience in the fact that it doesn’t seem to have changed his life one bit.
We have so much to be thankful for but today we are especially thankful for our team, wonderful clients and of course our stable of cute faces. What an exciting stateside debut by Star Fortress

Bitter sweet day for our team as it was likely the last time we saddled Gam’s Mission. She was our first graded stakes winner. She is one of the most honest and lovely horses one could ask for. Look for her as she sells early

Mickey was happy to welcome his girl, She Feels Pretty, back from her impressive victory in the Hilltop at Pimlico. She was of course just as happy to see him
Vahva has been my heart horse since the hammer fell. I can’t say enough words of gratitude to our entire team for their work with her. Thankful for the ride by
@ljlmvel
and congratulations to the partnership that owns Vahva
It’s been awhile since super pony Jack has made an appearance. He’s still spoiled and very much cheeky. At the age of 17 he shows no signs of slowing down
Excited to get More Than Looks back to the races. He has turned in to a beast physically, always fun to see the progression as they mature. He is entered in the Lure Stakes on Saturday.
Cancer sucks. Rare cancer in a 4 year old dog sucks the most. We are going home to Saratoga to have the very best day tomorrow before we help guide Rigby over the rainbow bridge.
My nephew made a friend in She Feels Pretty over the summer. My Bro showed him the replay and now he wants to go to BC- he asked me and of course I said of course you can we just need to ask your parents. Follow me

It’s such a treat to be able to train at

year round. We lose our private training center in a few weeks, when the fall meet starts, however, I’m looking forward to the excitement.
It’s been over a ear and a half since I saw this ham and he still remembered the stupid trick I taught him. Thank you to

We are all better for knowing Cody Dorman and Cody’s Wish.
Cody’s Wish fought all the way to the finish in his career finale and defended his Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile title.
