On this day 4 years ago, George became the youngest known owner of a Kentucky Derby winner when his favorite horse, Authentic, won the 2020 Derby on his 7th birthday. His microshare in Authentic was a gift from his grandfather, who he still goes to the track with often. Today, on his 11th birthday, he reflects on Authentic’s big win! HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEORGE! 🎂🏆🌹 #Authentic #KentuckyDerby #WhoDey

What a result for the O'Donnell family at York with Extensio! 👏

Trained by Pat, owned by his wife Una, and led up by daughter Sylvia, who also rode Extensio to victory on his last start —truly a family affair! 💚

Crazy it’s been 6 years already since we last showed @les_onaka some love with a GoFundMe. Unfortunately his situation hasn’t improved. More details in link. I miss working with him every night. Good times! Let’s show him he’s not forgotten ❤️❤️ https://t.co/jSfikwJwmU

Black Caviar, one of the greatest racehorses of our lifetime, has died.

Undefeated with 25 wins, she not only wowed fans from the tip of Queensland to the furthest reaches of WA, but world-wide audiences as well.

Indeed, her victory in the Group 1 Diamond Jubilee at Royal Ascot could well have been her greatest ever.

Vale BLACK CAVIAR.
