My Happy Horse Racing Twitter Page, Thanksgiving comes a week early in New Orleans. I’ll be buying rounds at The Fairgrounds Paddock Bar.

Happy Preakness Day at Laurel. We made the Pimlico trip once, in the Kegasus year… The neighborhood around Pimlico is awesome. Park and walk. Half the houses became street vendors with food and drinks. The end of an era. I hope some of them make it to Laurel. I hope there is a party…

[Ils Sont Partis🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻 @IlsPartis]

Wow!!!! Well done, @AndrewChampagne.

[Andrew Champagne @AndrewChampagne]

I picked a good week to have a good week.

After a 1-for-10 start (on a day where everybody got crushed!), my top picks won 20 of the final 50 races during the Belmont Stakes Racing Festival at #Saratoga. In total, I hit at a 35% clip.

Let’s do this again in a few weeks!

One of the things I shot while in social media hibernation was Romantic Warrior's triple crown at Sha Tin. Standing trackside for that felt like a privilege I hadn't earned, but I'll take it!! #HKRacing #HorseRacing #賽馬 #競馬

Bob Baffert on Englishman: "I will never run against that horse again. Crude Velocity will never see that horse in the gate again, unless they are going two turns. That was, I mean - wow. . . Crude Velocity was doing so well. I saw that time - that was crazy."
(via NYRA notes)

@TrackPhantom Both “everyone’s a cheater” spam accounts were created at the end of 2025. Who do you think funds these?

[Ils Sont Partis🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻 @IlsPartis]

My wife and the La. Horse ladies I was with Saturday cared. You may think it is over-hyped, but we watch racing content daily. They don’t, so educating new fans about cool things in racing on big days is not overstated. Now the newbies want to go to the Fairgrounds next year!

[Track Phantom @TrackPhantom]

Probably a bad take but I think overstating Cherie DeVaux is the first woman that did this, and the first woman that did that, is lazy. No one gives a shit. She is a great trainer and deserving of proper accolades, not qualifying it with such drivel. It's 2026 for Christ's sake.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

A virus carries no passport and can’t be deterred by weapons. Yet we spend trillions on arms while underfunding the health systems that protect us all.

Health security IS security.

The world needs better global leadership.

Sadness at this loss.

[Nick J. Hines “Sarge” 🇺🇸 @Hinesite]

Saddened to hear the news of the passing of my dear friend @EricGuillot14, but a blessing that he no longer has to suffer. Miisunderstood by some, and despite our differences at times, I will forever cherish the memories we spent together with those special moments at the racetrack, in the Winners’ Circle, and in our personal lives, simply priceless! They broke the mold when they made ‘da Jenius’, and frankly, there will never be another. With love and sympathies to Anna, his daughter, Olivia, sons Rhett, Carter, and Eric Jr., I will miss our talks. Thank you for all that you did for me and my family, I am grateful. Until we meet again my brother, and may God rest your crazy soul. 🙏💔🏇🇺🇸 #Greatest

I love Belmont Week!

[Repole Stable @RepoleStable]

Damn!!!!

You got me, Steve!!!! 😡😂
Can't fool you or the HRT detectives.

Now everyone knows Powershift is only in the Belmont to be a rabbit for Renegade.

I was hoping nobody would remember his battle with Emerging Market in his maiden race.

I was hoping nobody would notice his speed figures.

I was hoping nobody would notice him breaking his maiden at Churchill Downs on Kentucky Derby Day.

But now the secret is out.

Every jockey in the race is going to let him walk on the lead in :24 and :49 because he's "just a rabbit" with "no chance" to win. 😂

Last time I supposedly pulled this stunt in the Belmont, I entered Nest as a rabbit for Mo Donegal.

You got me, Steve. 😂😂🤣

[Todd Schrupp @ToddTTV]

I just got into town for @TheNYRA ‘s Belmont Festival at Saratoga. First person I see is the ‘Treeshaker’ @TomAmossRacing He’s always been a Friend first, but professionally I’ve always been proud of what he’s done on TV with @FOXSports and their Belmont coverage. Privileged to have seen his talent early on when I worked with him at TVG. Speaking of, it’s ’Class Reunion Week’ here ! @SJBray will be joining the team on America’s Day at the Races on @FOXSports 1 & 2, Fri. & Sat. One of his shifts will be with me & @andyserling I’ll start tomorrow, Thursday at 2:25pm ET, hope you’ll find time to watch 🤓

[Ils Sont Partis🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻 @IlsPartis]

Happy Belmont Week!

[Cherie DeVaux @reredevaux]

Can we get some thoughts and prayers for me having to ride this ding dong on a crisp morning. I usually have an exercise Rider get the kinks out first set, but it’s just me and Enrique.

[Ils Sont Partis🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻 @IlsPartis]

Where is his thoroughbred steed?

[Derby1592 @derby1592]

If you are tired of getting “Sweet Treasured” and “T O Elvised” with late odds drops then stop complaining and do something about it. Move your handle to NYRA where they throttle the CAW teams and give you a fighting chance. If you don’t then you will continue to get crushed.

[Ils Sont Partis🏇🏻🏇🏻🏇🏻 @IlsPartis]

Xpressbet has it, @Pick4win.

[Zenyatta John @Pick4win]

Still not available on @NYRABets

[Derby1592 @derby1592]

We as players need to support @theNYRA by shifting our handle to NYRA this summer. We will benefit from a more level playing field and can collectively send a message to the industry that we are rational and can change. If we don’t, we will continue to get exactly what we deserve

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

These days I’m at a loss for words. The new corruption scandal is just bananas. Trump has been using inside information to trade stocks and make millions. And the scale of the trading is just mind blowing.

Here’s what we know.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Ebola is a terrible disease because you often catch it while caring for someone you love – a husband, a child, a mother.

Stopping transmission means helping communities recognize symptoms early, access testing quickly and get timely care.

[UN News @UN_News_Centre]

Ebola outbreak: @WHO Director-General @DrTedros has arrived in DR Congo.

“I came here to show the communities in Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu that they are not alone,” he said, urging the international community to step up support.

[Todd Schrupp @ToddTTV]

When @BeemieAwards asked me to be a guest on his Podcast, as they say in the Poker World, I ‘insta-called’. He’s an important voice in our Sport, but above all he’s kind & relatable. This led to a fun conversation & I was able to break some news about a project that can help fill the void when @FanDuel TV goes away. Hope you can find time to listen 🤓

[Mike @Jorgeloco_]

Lot of chatter about Saffie on here but not many know how deeply he cares for all animals. Last year watched him rescue a baby bird & hand feed it daily with an eye dropper. Unbeknownst to most that bird lived on SJ throughout the Royal Palm meet in which he was leading trainer.
