They also bought at OBS, in partnership, Hip #20 a Candy Ride filly (160k) and Hip # 103 a Violence colt (400K.) All of MRHā€™s purchases have walking videos as well as works/breezes. The Violence colt has a great walk.

The Violence colt sure is a looker!!

Edge Racing bought hip 718, a really nice looking filly by Not This Time o/o More Than Magic (More Than Ready).
I havenā€™t bought into anything offered from Edge yet, but this one may be worth a look.

Sixtythreecaliber has been doing well, but this will be a tough one for her.

Search Results, at 4/1 odds, is a 1/2 sister to another MRH, Search Engine

MRH also just posted 8 new offerings today.
Some nice prospects.

Classic Cut broke his maiden today, 1 mile on the turf.
Broke sharp, took the lead.
Didnā€™t swap leads, came down to a photo & he got the nod.
VERY!! much improved from his last time out.

Miss Sakamoto is running at Monmouth on Saturday, Race #7.

Looking forward to seeing how she does (in person) after the switch over to Kent Sweezey.

Hero Status is at Silver Springs for some R&R, during which time he will also have brain surgery.

:rofl:

So many are in an uproar about it :woman_facepalming:
Many are claiming he didnā€™t do well under Diodoro care because he missed the people in Galttā€™s barn

I am so glad I am not on that FB page.

I keep waiting to see the same announcement regarding Chasing Time. Do people not realize that gelding these horses will set them up better for a second career once theyā€™re off the track?

They already gelded Tap the Gavel.

same. or any FB group for that matter hahaha.

Re: gelding - I guess that most of the owners are not riders or horsemen. They just want to say they own a race winner. I wonder how many actually think about retirement or after-care. But Iā€™m also absolutely gobsmacked when people (particularly men) refuse to neuter their pets in testicular solidarity :roll_eyes:.

I actually think that one thing this really neat about MRH is the educational component. They did a good job explaining the reasons behind gelding, the importance of rest periods etc. Its not much, but it is certainly more than the average layman gets.

I am so bummed. We bought tickets to the MRH hospitality box and we won the paddock/winners circle lottery for Miss Sakamotoā€™s race today.

Then last night in my lesson, while working on bending while walking my horse spooked, bucked himself across the ring and when he got to the fence line went right while I went left. I have a fractured pelvis, maybe patella (they could not really tell but I donā€™t think itā€™s broken) and Iā€™m finding contusions this morning I did not know I had.

Darn horse! Guess Iā€™ll be watching from the comfort (cough cough) of my living room.

Oh thank you so much!

Turns out, it was raining a fair bit at Monmouth this morning so they scratched her. :woman_shrugging:t3:

Oh wow that sounds so painful! Jingles that you arenā€™t laid up for too long.
