Average price for the entire sale increased 42%.

Really classy of Umberto Rispoli to give Journalism pats on the neck after a job well done running second in the Belmont. I love when people do that with horses that don’t win. Horses can feel positive and negative energy. It’s good for them to feel that positivity and

Horse racing is having its “thoughts and prayers” moment. Aftercare remains an afterthought. Immigrant workers are exploited & terrorized by ICE. And industry leaders look away.

Dr. Michael Galvin, a longtime equine veterinarian at Belmont Park in New York, has been suspended two years and fined $25,000 after allegedly failing to enter over 3,000 veterinary treatment records into the HISA portal: tinyurl.com/487vfkdx
