Gary West is a true class act. After the DQ, eyes welling up he said to me, “This is horse racing, but it truly was the thrill of victory & the agony of defeat.” When asked if any feelings of anger would arise he quickly said “Nope. I’m not an angry person. It doesn’t serve me.”
I’m speechless. All I can say is how thrilled I am for the entire

Midnight Bisou 💋 How lucky are we as racing fans to continue to watch her brilliance on the track. Thank you

for keeping her in training! We need superstars like her 🤩
And THAT’S how you wrap up the 2020 Triple Crown season!
Swiss Skydiver pure heart and determination to become just the 6th filly in 145 years to win the Preakness 😍

Lilac fire survivor, Lovely Finish, produced just that today in her first race back since the devastating incident. Showing all heart to finish third, but just seeing her and her trainer, Joe Herrick, back healthy and happy made it a winning moment ❤️
The reaction says it all... I truly couldn’t be more thrilled for owner Gary Broad or more proud of my father and his training job with Core Beliefs ❤️ Unforgettable day

@KentuckyDerby
is a dream.
Yesterday, my family was lucky enough to live that dream for a second time. We feel honored to have been a part of such a historic event and could not be more proud of Storm the Court and his 6th place finish.
All heart ❤️
To be a small part of the Kentucky Derby is an honor, but I'm most honored to be a part of this industry. We’re a community devoted to the horse & on a day like today, we celebrate the culmination of hard work, long days, & an abundance of LOVE & CARE year round.
#IAmHorseRacing
It’s an honor and a privilege to cover this amazing sport and we would be nowhere without the fans! I feel very lucky to even be named in the same breath as these three women as well as the other talented finalists and colleagues for whom I look up to and learn from every day ❤️
A year ago today, the horse racing world was shook to its core when a devastating fire pummeled through the San Luis Rey Downs training center. Today, let us remember the horses lost too soon and honor the brave men and women who put their lives on the line to save them ❤️
Just landed in LA, and people begin to clap and cheer... for a safe landing? Nope. They saw Kentucky Derby winning jockey, Flavian Prat, was on the plane & wanted to congratulate him. It’s very apparent he’s containing any emotion, but that had to of been a special moment for him
For a Hall of Famer, Lava Man is playing it quite coy!
At 20 years old, he’s as handsome as ever 😍 Thanks for being the perfect guest on

Good to see Princess Noor back in her stall at the Baffert barn looking comfortable after being pulled up in the G1 Starlet. Initial reports good — inflamed tendon, but X-Rays clean.
Thanks to the Baffert barn for the updates and video.
That’s a wrap!
Congratulations to
@DelMarRacing
and to everyone who made this 2020 meet possible on such a successful and safe meet! ❤️
See you next year ✌🏼
Soi Phet represents everything that’s good about this game ❤️ At 10 years old, he becomes racing’s newest millionaire in an all heart performance in the Bertrando. The look on his trainer’s face says it all 🏇🏻
I just spoke with Bob Baffert regarding Princess Noor who was pulled up in the G1 Starlet. He said she x-rayed clean, but has some inflammation in her left front tendon and stated “she was much better when she got back to the barn.”
Positive initial reports for Princess Noor 🙏
Whoa!! This is how I envision Sheza Smoke Show to look in reaction to her daughter’s debut at

Hands down one of my favorite photos from the weekend. Jimmy Barnes, assistant to Bob Baffert, was with Justify every day through the entire Triple Crown trail. Team Baffert would not be what it is without this man. Cheers Jimmy! 🥂
Visited a special someone today. So proud of the champion she was on the track, but even prouder of the wonderful mom she’s become ❤️ Thank you

@NBC
coverage of the Triple Crown! With such a competitive crop, 2018 will no doubt bring us an unforgettable finish. I look forward to joining the team & shining a light on both the contenders and the many connections behind them.
An emotional win no doubt for the connections of Scathing, the first horse to run out of San Luis Rey since the fire. Hopefully that helps aid the healing process ❤️
I’m at a loss of words to describe what I just witnessed... Justify becomes the 13th Triple Crown winner and only the 2nd to do it undefeated. The only word I can draw up is... surreal. A moment I’ll never forget ❤️
RIP Tommy Lasorda 💔
He truly bled

Back in 2015, he enjoyed a day at
@santaanitapark
and said, “I love to watch the horses, love to see the people, love the joy of just being here... and of course you like to bet.”
RIP to the Legend 💙
Words cannot describe the amount of pride I feel for my father, his team, and of course, this horse ❤️ Thank you JJ for a superb ride and Lee and Susan Searing for the constant support.
What. A. Day. Congrats Dad!!
Was just told by track veterinarian, Dana Stead, that all horses involved in the incident in Race 7 are back at their barns and early reports indicate no serious injury.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! There are a thousand things I could thank you for... but mostly, thank you for instilling in me the importance of loving what you do. The love you have for your horses and pure joy you feel around them is the best example I ever could’ve asked for. Love you!❤️

Had the opportunity to sit down today with Art Sherman and reflect upon a 60+ year career in horse racing…
Today he saddles his final runner and how fitting it’s a son of his champ, California Chrome 🙌🏼
Cody, you gave so many people so much. Hope. A reason to fight. And a brilliant horse to root for.
A special young man with an undeniable connection to a special horse.
My thoughts are with the Dorman family and all who loved Cody during this incredibly difficult time 💔

The entire Breeders’ Cup team is devastated by the news of Cody Dorman’s passing yesterday. His story captured our hearts and minds, and his strength, spirit, and determination were fittingly embodied by his namesake’s commanding
