That’s victory number 2,500 for our family. So appropriate that it was on a longshot with an outside post!!! Thanks to all the trainers, jockeys, tracks, etc. who have enabled us to enjoy this 40+ year roller coaster.
Very pleased to report that the Tapit/Distorted Music colt (hip 173) arrived safely at

We are thrilled to announce that Len Green is the proud recipient of the Virgil "Buddy" Raines Acheivement Award. This award is given to the best of the best in the industry who are an example of their professionalism and integrity to the sport.
Mike, I say this sincerely as an owner/breeder who loves the sport. If your tweet from 2 weeks ago is true let’s find some common ground & work together. Let’s stop with the nonsense & have meaningful discussions. Between you, Pat, & others we can avoid extinction. Let’s do that
Love the honest comments, if you really want change express your true opinion.
I know there are other leaders in the industry that are reading this and should honestly share their opinions and not be afraid of being criticized.
And if you hate me, thank you. ❤️
Thanks for such an incredible experience. So proud of Helium, Team Casse and Julien Leparoux. Really appreciate all the support and well wishes in advance of the race. We’ll see how Helium is in the morning and plan out his next start.

Champion WONDER WHEEL (Into Mischief - Wonder Gal, by Tiz Wonderful) during her bath this morning.
With Joel Rosario up, Mark Casse trainee WONDER WHEEL put in a very solid work for the Kentucky Oaks at Churchill Downs this AM. The Into Mischief filly was timed in :47.20 for 4F.
In my 30+ years of being involved in the t-bred industry I have never seen so much turmoil. We discuss the recent FBI indictments & its impact on the BEST TDN PODCAST EVER. Great job

Loved this episode!!
@andie_biancone
is such a gem and I resonate with so much she said about loving the stories and personalities of the horses. Horses really are magic!!
Winning the BC was exciting but being interviewed by

And as the co-owner of the horse who finished 2nd in that race I can tell you that we witnessed the winner "rebreak" down the stretch (yet again).

You can certainly make this claim about some breeders-however you are WAY off base in your allegation that

Thanks for your support! PS is developing into arguably one of the best 3yr turf horses in the country. He ran a game 2nd against a tough field & returned sound & happy. Will advise his next start in a few weeks. THANKS
