Fun fact: Ocelli may technically still be a 7-time... maiden, but he actually won a race before ever making his official debut 👀 Before heading to trainer Whit Beckman, Ocelli won a training race at the Aiken Trials in 2025, ridden by none other than trainer and former jockey Joe Sharp / JSR Racing ⚪️🔴⚫️🏇🏻. Now? He’s coming off a 3rd place finish in the Kentucky Derby and is set for the Preakness Stakes this weekend. 🎥: Joe Sharp / JSR Racing ⚪️🔴⚫️🏇🏻show more

Saturday 30th May NAP OF THE DAY 🏇💥 Catterick... 15:35 - Zephyln 11/2 Zephyln won this race last year off of 63 and is 5lb better off this year just 58, he did the double in 25 at the course and distance in May and looks the value tomorrow. He ran a great race over jumps last time out in a competitive race outrunning his 33/1 odds at Perth and i think he is in just as good form as last year. His efforts on the flat since have been on the all weather and his mark is competitive again. I would prefer a stronger jockey than Greg Fairley who doesnt have a great overall record but fingers crossed he can get the horse home for the team and the odds still represent value with him in the plate.

Tragic clip shows NASCAR driver Kyle Busch less than... one week before he tragically passed away on May 21. Busch was thought to have had a sinus cold while racing at Watkins Glen on May 10. Despite this, he won the Trucks Series race at Dover on May 15, then finished 17th in the All-Star race on Sunday. Nobody knew how serious it was becoming. On Wednesday May 20, an unidentified male at the scene called 911 saying Busch was suffering shortness of breath, felt very hot, thought he was going to pass out, and was coughing up blood. He had become unresponsive while testing in the Chevrolet racing simulator in Concord, North Carolina, and was transported to a hospital in Charlotte. The family confirmed he passed on Thursday May 21. On Saturday May 23 they revealed the cause, severe pneumonia had progressed into sepsis, resulting in rapid and overwhelming complications. He was only 41 years old. Kyle Busch holds the all-time wins record across NASCAR's top three series, with 233 combined victories. He won two Cup Series championships, in 2015 and 2019, both with Joe Gibbs Racing. His 2015 title is one of the most remarkable comeback stories in NASCAR history. He missed the first 11 races of the season after suffering a broken right leg and broken left foot at Daytona. He returned with 15 races left, clawed into the top 30 in points, won a race to make the playoffs, and won the championship.show more

A quick check-in on the horses and where everyone... stands right now: After running in the G1 Hopeful, Curtain Call unfortunately cut his leg. The good news is he’s healing well and is finally back to light workouts on the grass at Palm Meadows. It’s been a patient road back, but he’s moving in the right direction. Sandman is currently resting in Ocala while the team evaluates next steps and maps out the best plan moving forward. Ewing is also resting in Ocala alongside Sandman, with the goal of returning to action when we get back to Saratoga. Silent Tactic is running for Team Casse in the Arkansas Derby on March 28th & Reagan’s Honor will be running in the Blue Grass Stakes on April 4th to hopefully stamp their ticket to the Kentucky Derby. I will be attending both to cheer on the boys 👏🏼 Flightless is still training and will hopefully make her debut this summer. Horse racing is a marathon, not a sprint. The priority is always getting them healthy, happy, and ready when the time is right. Appreciate everyone who keeps checking in and supporting these horses along the journey. 🤝 West Point Tbred Mark Casseshow more

‡ The Puma in the Sam F. Davis Stakes... A three-year-old colt named The Puma made his debut at Gulfstream in a 7f. MSW race on January 10th. He raced up on the pace and held well to finish 2nd behind the Mott-trained first-starter Chief Wallabee, while 9 lengths clear of the 3rd-place finisher. It was a promising performance, and the colt recorded an 86 Beyer figure. He was entered in an 8.5f. MSW at Gulfstream on Saturday, and was listed as the 7/5 favorite. However, his connections chose to scratch the colt, and instead contest the 8.5f. Sam F. Davis Stakes at Tampa, against tougher company, and over a different track surface. Will it prove to have been the correct choice? Well, if providing short-term thrills for the owner(s) is the goal, then perhaps. But in terms of the development of the horse, I would say that the answer is probably not. It is possible that he will surprise me by running well, and improving further in subsequent races, without missing a beat. But I am partial to classical, old-school training methods, typically employed by the very best trainers, which include more gradual step-ups in class, and strong foundations, or "bottoms". To be fair, trainers these days are often under great pressure from their owners, especially with young colts, and they have much more limited options than those who trained back in the '70s and '80s. Charlie Whittingham raced Sunday Silence four times in MSW and Alw. races before placing his future HOF Champion into stakes company. The undefeated HOF filly Personal Ensign, undefeated through 13 starts, competed in just one stakes race through her first four starts for Shug McGaughey. Today, there are fewer options available, and particularly in the form of allowance races beyond sprint distances. This is partly due to the excessive number of restricted stakes races available to two and three-year-old runners, which has had the effect of displacing what were once more natural, less taxing, and ultimately beneficial developmental patterns. Of course there are horses that are able to overcome less than ideal development, but many others, often forgotten, fall by the wayside, either due to physical and/or mental setbacks that result from rushed programs. The breed-to-sell paradigm is a big catalyst, as is the fever that afflicts too many owners, namely KY Derby fever. *** In terms of stamina, The Puma's pedigree is encouraging, at least superficially, as his young sire, Essential Quality, was a Travers winner over 10f., and a Belmont winner over 12f., while his dam, Eve of War, won up to 9f. He is the first foal to race from his dam. But from what I can discern from the replays of of his race, and the available clips and images on the OBS site (he was a $150k purchase through last year's April sale), I'm not confident that he will ultimately stay much beyond a mile, and with just one race under his belt, the Sam F. Davis may prove to be a stiff challenge. My concerns revolve mainly around two characteristics, his action and body type. Though not as extreme as those which I have highlighted in previous posts, The Puma does display distorted action, as can be seen in the attached clip of the finish of his lone race. He is on the right (turquoise cap). There are distortions in both front legs, and such inefficient action can have the effect of limiting distance capabilities, especially with speed horses. The second characteristic is that he appears to be a strongly-made colt. If you watch the second clip, from his OBS walk video, you should be able to see that he appears to have a muscular shoulder, and a fairly wide chest. Taken together, The Puma's action and body type are more likely to be found in sprinters than "two-turn" horses, and as suggested above, I would be surprised if he were ultimately able to stay effectively over Classic distances. In terms of pedigree, The Puma should have no trouble with the 8.5f. distance of the Sam F. Davis. But given all of the above, and an honest pace, I'm of the opinion that he is unlikely to win. It will, in any case, be interesting to see how he fares, and how he develops over the coming months.show more

27 year old James Piot won the US Amateur... in 2021 before joining LIV Golf in 2022. He then signed for Phil Mickelson’s HyFlyers in 2023, but was released at the end of that season. He’s played a mix of Asian Tour events and PGA Tour Americas over the last two years and this week he’s tied for the lead after three rounds of the Moutai Singapore Open, alongside Jeunghan Wang and Soomin Lee. Tomorrow, he’ll not only be looking for his best ever finish on the Asian Tour, but a win would put him into contention to potentially get one of the two spots available via The International Series for the 2026 LIV Golf League. This is why authentic pathways are so important, give players the opportunities to play their way back. It’s good to see James playing well and hopefully he has a low one on Sunday.show more

Masayoshi Takanaka is a Tokyo-born guitarist, composer, and one... of the defining architects of City Pop—Japan's genre of jazz-infused urban pop that became the soundtrack of the country's economic boom in the 1970s and '80s. Now, at 73, he is embarking on his first-ever world tour. As much a showman as a musician, Takanaka built a career around technically dazzling performances, most famously wielding his guitar built from an actual surfboard.⁠ ⁠ For most of that time, audiences in the US, UK, Australia, and New Zealand never got to see him live. In March 2025, he played two sold-out nights at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, marking his first US performances in over 40 years. The reception was enough to set something larger in motion.⁠ ⁠ When Live Nation announced his first-ever world tour in November 2025, every date sold out within days. Additional shows were added in New York and Los Angeles to meet demand. The US leg hits Brooklyn Paramount, the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, The Masonic in San Francisco, and two nights at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles this April. The shows will draw a combined audience of roughly 15,000 across venues he has never played before.⁠ ⁠ At the Wiltern shows, he told the crowd, "I've been waiting for this day for so long. And now I'm your grandpa's age. But I am still young." The surfboard guitar has been restored specifically for this tour.⁠show more

Naturally, Ralph Alvarado’s Ralph Alvarado MD political profile grew... in Kentucky following his GOP convention speech. This created a very interesting dynamic during the 2019 Kentucky Governor’s race when then-Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin Matt Bevin switched out his Lt. Gov. choice Jenean Hampton with Alvarado. Following this move, former Hampton aides claimed Mitch McConnell U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell was behind the last minute surprise switcharoo. This was reported in numerous Kentucky media outlets despite McConnell denying it. Matt Bevin went on to lose his reelection to Andy Beshear Governor Andy Beshear, which handed a red state like Kentucky to a Democrat governor. Beshear has gone on to hold power, leading to liberal policies in a Republican state. While on The View in February, Beshear called for ICE to leave Kentucky: “Well, every ICE agent should be withdrawn from every city and every community that they’re in.” Sources tell Loomer Unleashed that Beshear is also preparing for a Presidential run in 2028 on the Democrat ticket and he has been consulted on how to teach other Democrat candidates in red states how to publicly appear as a “moderate Democrat” while having radical Left, progressive policies. Elections have consequences, and no one understands this better than Team McConnell U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell… Perhaps Mitch knew Alvarado would be unpopular, which would lead to Bevin's defeat and, in turn, cause embarrassment for President Trump and the Republican Party, while also leading to a Democrat controlling the state. Now, we are facing a similar situation again. Alvarado is running for Congress in what’s supposed to be a safe red seat, while at the same time, he’s lying to voters by claiming to be a Trump supporter. Alvarado’s record proves he has NEVER been a Trump guy. Hmmm, it’s almost like the Paul, Massie, McConnell “sabotage Trump” political machine is working overtime in Kentucky to ensure Democrats win the midterms as a way to undermine President Trump’s legacy and the remainder of his time in office. Remember this information as the Kentucky GOP Primary approaches next month on May 19th, 2026! RECEIPTS 👇🏻show more

Anthony Edwards said in a recent interview that he... signed a $260 million contract and still won the child support battle. He said women should work for their own money instead of being gold diggers. 🗣️ Anthony Edwards: "My baby mama thought asking for $5,000 a month in child support would keep me tied down, but I had other plans. Before the court even made a decision, I stepped up and paid $110,000 out of my own pocket, starting with $20,000 in January 2025 and then sending $5,000 every month after that. When the judge reviewed everything, the official child support was set at $3,222 per month—less than what I'd already been paying voluntarily. I signed a five-year deal worth up to $260 million, but I wasn't running from my responsibilities. I handled my business from day one, and in the end, the court ruled in my favor."show more

Caedan Wallace (#70 in the video clips) – This... looks like a good move from JES. Here’s my thoughts below and I’d be happy to answer any questions. I’m not going to do a video on Wallace since we’re talking about someone acquired for minimal compensation and was going to be waived pretty early in the offseason process. But there’s some reasons to be optimistic. Wallace was a 3rd round pick in 2024, which was before Vrabel arrived in NE – we see this often where players from a previous regime just aren’t valued by the new staff. I’ve watched all of Wallace’s 2024 snaps, plus his preseason 2025 snaps. He was used all over the place by NE including 6th OL, Tackle, and Guard. So he comes in as a young player and some NFL experience on both sides of the formation. My conclusion is that Wallace should be a near lock to be on the Dolphins 53 man roster. I see him instantly as no worse than OL 8 on this roster behind the starting 5, Salyer and maybe Andrew Meyer (who has C versatility). Wallace would get the leg up on Campbell because of his T versatility. But nobody else (including Heck) would really be in that conversation. Assuming health across the board – keeping 9 OL with this combination and having 8 active on gameday would be a solid group in my opinion. Wallace on the field isn’t going to wow you. He’s not the most powerful, he’s not the most athletic – but he’s also pretty decent in both regards. He’d be the type of guy that you’d be OK with as your 5th starter, but you’d still be exploring options to upgrade. I think he’s pretty even in both his pass pro and run game with mostly pretty solid reps and a handful of really good and really bad reps. There could be some untapped potential in the OZ run game where I think his athleticism (particularly at G) could come out, but that’s still a projection. In the end, I like this signing a lot for the positional need and the time of year.show more

‡ Brant – Fast, Expensive, and Worrying In a... recent 2yo MSW race at Santa Anita, Brant, a $3m OBS March sales purchase, made a winning debut for his high-profile connections. Sent off at odds of 4/5, he tracked the pace before taking command on the turn, and drew off to win by 5 1/4 lengths. He recorded a very fast raw time, and a 101 Beyer figure. His high auction price was due largely to his having breezed an eighth of a mile in :09 3/5 at OBS. In the wake of the bidding, Amr Zedan, who purchased the colt on the recommendation of his trainer, Bob Baffert, and bloodstock agent Donato Lanni, was quoted in TDN as saying: "These horses are difficult to come by. He ticked all the boxes. He was a very precocious Gun Runner with a great pedigree. And more importantly, if you have someone like Mr. [Bob] Baffert in your corner, that gives you the courage and the guts to just go after quality. And you'll know they are in the best hands to turn them into champions. This one is for the team: Donato and obviously Bob and his ability to turn them into champions. So if you have the great team, the great training, the rest is easy. Was he pricey? Yes. But quality dictates price. So I never hesitated.” The hyperbole, and boilerplate optimism, are understandable, as even owners with very deep pockets prefer not to dwell on their inevitably long lists of expensive failures. But Zedan and their team have also enjoyed a number of high-profile successes, including Taiba, another Gun Runner colt, which won the Santa Anita Derby and the Malibu, both Grade I, before being retired to stud. Lanni, who has signed for at least some of Zedan's other good horses, was quoted as saying: "This is what the boss [Baffert] wanted and what Amr wanted. Gun Runner is a tremendous stallion and he worked really good and galloped out good. He did everything you want one to do.” Again, boilerplate, and if one were to take the reactions of the owner and agent at face value, it would be easy to arrive at the conclusion that the horse had no faults. But that would be naïve. So, let's first take a look at Brant's pedigree. Gun Runner is a "top" sire, and well-capable of getting high-class runners. It's a bit too early to fully judge him as a source of durability, but excluding his current crop of 2yos, his runners are only averaging 10 career starts. That number will rise, but likely not enough to reach, let alone exceed the contemporary industry average of ~15. In other words, though he himself raced 19 times, and won his swan song (the Pegasus World Cup) at five, there is no evidence to suggest that he is likely to eventually prove to be a particular source of durability. Brant's dam, Tynan, raced 13 times, and he is her first registered foal. His second dam, Pappascat, has produced at least five foals to have raced, and while only one has reached 20 starts, four of the five raced at least 12 times, which by today's degraded standards, isn't so bad. The fact that the coat color inherited by Brant, and his dam, can be traced to a notably unsound influence, Unbridled's Song, may or may not be meaningful. But I wouldn't ignore it as a potentially worrying connection. Brant's dam-sire, Liam’s Map, was lightly raced himself, and both his sire (US) and dam have poor records in terms of durability. As a sire, he has thus far produced numbers similar to Gun Runner. So while Brant's first two dams promise more than many that I have come across in similar assessments, and his sire displayed durability on the track, his overall pedigree suggests average durability at best. And what about the word that Mr. Zedan used twice in the above quote – "quality"? Well, Curlin is a quality sire, but in terms of bottom-line production, it leaves a lot to be desired. That's not to say that there are no good runners to be found, in fact the closely related Pappacap, under Brant's second-dam, was a Gr. III winner, and twice Grade I placed. However, through Brant's first six dams at least, I believe there to be just a single Grade I winner, Al Qasr, a Champion stayer in Peru, which appears under his fourth-dam. That is not, by any reasonable definition, a strong bottom-line, although it is fair to say that Brant's first dam is unproven. *** What might be learned from Brant's debut race? Everyone can see that he ran fast, and was much the best of that field, but I would say that there were some nuanced aspects of his performance that were both interesting, and worrying. Those nuances relate to his action, as viewed both through the pan shot, and head-on. Watching the basic (pan) view, Brant appears to display some "knee action". It isn't extreme, but also isn't the type of action that ideally suits dirt runners, and I wouldn't say that the colt appears totally comfortable. Here's a brief, related post on knee action, for reference: Then, we have the (embedded) head-on view, in which Brant displays seriously distorted action in his near-fore (left front leg; right when viewed head-on). It's a fairly extreme example of what is called "winging", and for a number of reasons, does not bode well for durability. Such action is never desirable, and is typically related to certain foreleg conformation flaws, which may include an offset knee, and/or toeing in or out, etc. Note also that under typical American racing conditions (i.e. tightly turning, left-handed tracks), the left front leg is subjected to the greatest torque, which amplifies the potential for injury. It should go without saying that there are occasional anomalies, horses with poor action that remain sound despite such flaws. But they are the exceptions, and it is not uncommon to find abbreviated careers associated with such action. For further reference, here is a link to a closely related post that I wrote after a filly named Amor Fati broke her maiden in eye-catching style in February of 2024. She has made just one further start, and hasn't recorded a work over the past 15 months. What's interesting about Brant is that there are two separate issues relating to his action, and that the some obvious mitigating steps that could have been, or should be taken, in efforts to keep him sound, were not, and are unlikely to ever be taken. First, with regard to his knee action, keep in mind that it is a characteristic that is more typically associated with turf horses. And guess what? Brant's dam was a turf horse. His second-dam was also at her best on turf, and was Gr. II placed on that surface. Also, in some respects, he physically resembles that female line more than his sire. Of course no one who spends millions on a horse that breezed exceptionally fast at a 2yo sale would be thinking "turf", given that the commercial market, and stakes schedules greatly favor dirt runners. But at the same time, it would be a mistake to assume that a fast breeze at OBS necessarily indicates that a given horse will be best suited to dirt. I say that partly because the OBS track features an all-weather surface called "Safetrack", which is far from being identical to dirt racing surfaces. While countless horses have gone through those sales and excelled on dirt, it should never been taken for granted that it will be a preference. And to further flesh out the point, take a look at Brant's breeze video through this link (his pedigree page can also be seen): Despite being rushed to cover a furlong much faster than he ever will again, I would say that he looks smoother, and displays slightly less knee action than in his recent debut race. Why? Could it be, perhaps, because he would prove more comfortable on turf and/or synthetic tracks, than dirt surfaces? Given how he ran first out, this is purely an academic point, as there is virtually no chance that his connections would consider switching surfaces, unless his form on dirt were to deteriorate badly. The second, more important point, relates to Brant's distorted action. I can't find a head-on conformation photo of the colt, but would be very surprised if he does not display flaws in his near-fore. Even in the very unlikely event that the leg were to appear correct, such distorted action would have been on display at the sale, as well as in pre-training at Eddie Woods' farm. And it defies belief that experienced horsemen who were prepared to purchase an extremely expensive horse for an important client would not have covered that base. Which in turn begs two important questions. First, why recommend the purchase of a very expensive horse, no matter how fast, that has yet to race, and displays such distorted action? Secondly, why choose to give such a horse to a trainer whose style and history suggest that injury risk would likely be amplified, rather than mitigated? The answers to those questions help to illuminate why the breed-to-sell paradigm is so insidious. As long as breeders and stud farms are willing to overpay for stallion prospects, and turn blind eyes to conformation defects, distorted action, lack of durability, and modest female families, the connections of horses like Brant need only hope that they hold together long enough to win one or two big races, enabling them cash in. These are the number of career starts made by Zedan's previous best (and expensive) male runners: 9 Arabian Lion 6 Arabian Knight 9 Muth 10 Medina Spirit 11 Hejazi And as long as the AGSC (American Graded Stakes Committee) continues to enable the paradigm through its dishonest KY Derby "prep" Grade I designations, the ultimately damaging feedback loop will likely continue. The answer to the second question is closely entwined, and should be obvious. For all of his faults as a trainer, Baffert has long produced results in stakes races that lead to valuable stud careers, so owners who wish to play the breed-to-sell game consider him to be a logical choice. Of course Baffert and Zedan are hardly alone in supporting the dubious paradigm. But that a horse like Brant could bring millions at a sale, and be given to a trainer who trains very hard, and has compiled a very poor safety record, underscores the extreme degree to which the value of durability has been marginalized by the industry. One final note, and it's a genuine qualification that I always make when producing this type of post, I hope that Brant will enjoy a long, injury-free career. But if I were a betting man...show more

Something has come to my attention that needs to... be addressed before delegates go to vote for U.S. Senate candidates tomorrow in Duluth. Adam Schwarze has publicly stated in an interview with Alpha News that he founded a nonprofit called “Defending Freedom and Democracy.” (EIN 87-2717401) It’s on video. Well according to campaign finance records, that nonprofit sent $200,000 to a group called “Wyomingites Defending Freedom and Democracy, Inc” which funded the effort to keep Liz Cheney AFTER she voted to impeach President Trump. Think about that for a second. Now a group called the “Sheepdog PAC” has been funding texts to delegates saying that Michele Tafoya $10 donation to Liz Cheney BEFORE Cheney voted to impeach Trump. The Sheepdog PAC argues that this is disqualifying by the way — and guess who the Sheepdog PAC is associated to? Adam Schwarze’s campaign. So Schwarze’s campaign wants you to believe a nonprofit that routed six figures into a political operation backing Liz Cheney AFTER she impeached President Trump is irrelevant, but a $10 donation BEFORE Cheney got TDS is disqualifying? At the same time, Schwarze co-chaired Nikki Haley’s Minnesota leadership team, and donated $1,000 to Haley’s presidential bid. Keep in mind that Schwarze donated $10 to Amy Klobuchar’s Presidential campaigns well. Who is one of the Democrats who will be running against our Republican ticket in November. Now none of this means Republicans shouldn’t support Schwarze if he wins the endorsement and the primary. Which he is favored to win the endorsement, but still trails Tafoya by almost 50 points in the last primary poll. I’ll support whoever Republicans nominate for the general election. We all should. I don’t even believe you need to be full on MAGA to earn votes in an endorsement/primary in Minnesota. In fact, it can be a negative if we want to be viable in November. It’s not like this is Alabama. Republicans haven’t won statewide in Minnesota for two decades. You need to moderate to actually win. But to be running as the “MAGA candidate” when you’re literally quoted in a MinnPost article describing yourself as “Not MAGA” with these associations — Delegates deserve to know the truth.show more
