Happy #BelmontStakes, everyone! Thank you for all your well wishes! "I think with life comes perspective and balance. If it pushes a little girl to work that much harder in her journey because she saw a glimmer of hope later on, then I will own that." #arcangelo #gratitude

Amazing how a photo can bring you right to a point in time…emotionally…thank you always seems to fall short, but thank you @DRFLivingston for capturing just ‘us.’ My heart and eyes feel full 💙💙! So grateful…such a gift. 🤗🤗.
Among the best of 2023 things. This duo. I've been a @jenaantonucci friend/fan/admirer since we met over a decade ago. And to see ARCANGELO reflect Jena's great horsemanship and class, with a crackerjack campaign?. So. Very. Good. ❤️

My heartfelt appreciation to so many people who offered their condolences on one of my & my teams most difficult days. Yes, we lost Borough Boy yesterday but I feel it is VERY important to not sweep these events under the rug. Facts are important especially(if not more so) when.

feel we have failed them. We will see their empty stalls, feed tubs and treats waiting for their return that will never be eaten. We as trainers will shoulder the blame, console our owners and more so our staff, WE WILL GRIEVE. While opinions on our sport are varied I will NOT.
