Little Blue Bird Stables

We've surrounded ourselves with great horsemen (Hennig, L. Gaudet, R.Morse) to build a deliberate approach to ownership, at reasonable investment levels.

@romeronlsa went to the left whip and boy did he respond. Can't wait for next time out. Great ride!

@joel_starz @Hennigracing @LBBStables Gotta love when a jockey battles for placing. My arms got tired watching Romero work his butt off!

Whitby brings the smoke late at Big A yesterday to get up for 2nd. First out after a long layoff. Thanks to @Hennigracing and the team. We’ll get ‘em next out. @LBBStables

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

Our big gray, WHITBY, is back in action at the Big A after a bit of a layoff. Happy to have @romeronlsa back aboard. Best of luck to our Partners!

This one is special to us. OFTEN TIPSY was one of our early yearling purchases that never made it to the track. SO, she became our first broodmare and earlier this morning delivered a good-looking Mo Town colt to close out our season.

I’m feeling good, fighting hard and I’m ready for Vegas! The uncertainty with all of this sucks but one thing I know is that I’m going to have some fun this weekend, with my Pops there and trying to make it count. #NHC2025

Ears for days! Our 2nd foal has arrived. Our Siyouni mare, SEIZE THE TIME, delivered a handsome GOOD SAMARITAN colt at Stone Bridge Farm this weekend. Both are doing great! The future is getting really exciting. Two more to go!

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

It’s even better when you come out of the race feeling even more excitement and hope for the future. Closed from the clouds for 5th. We’ll take it and move on.

And of course we hang out at Longshots Bar! #HowWeDo

Any time you can get them from this (Yearling sale) to the entries it’s a small victory. Our filly, Full Pour, makes her debut in the 7th race at the Big A with @romeronlsa aboard. Best of luck to our Partners!

Oh and @andyserling and @OutrunTheOdds - you’re both invited to our party this summer!

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

@OutrunTheOdds @romeronlsa @andyserling Thank you!

FIRST FOAL ALERT! (EVER!)

Fantastic news out of Hedberg Hall this morning, as our mare, LILA RUTH, delivered our very first foal - a filly by Goldencents. We just couldn't be more excited. Huge thanks to Lena Hedberg and team - couldn't do this without them. Three more to go!

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

We kick off our 2025 racing season with our big boy, OUR COUNTRY, tackling the turf in the 5th race at @GulfstreamPark. We have David Egan back aboard. Best of luck to all of our Partners & racing team!

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

Happy New Year to all of our Partners and incredible team members! Let’s have some fun in 2025!

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

@turfmichaeld @WasabiStables Thanks Michael! One of our most popular LBBS activities is our Partner Pools, where we build a big bankroll to wager on big race days as a group. We’ve had some really good ones and a few bad ones but our folks enjoy it. I guess you can say we own, and we most certainly bet!

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

@failedtomenace We love this Matt, thank you! As an ownership group that focuses on the mid-level of racing ranks, we totally agree. A good racing product doesn't exist without a bunch of St. Joes. We'll gladly take runners that might not fit the higher-standard of previous owners. #HorseRacing

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

It's never an easy decision to retire a horse, but this one felt a bit easier to make. ST. JOE LOUIS was a fun horse to own. He had some nervous quirks but just gave effort every single race. It's tough to be a head away from our first win at Saratoga just a few months ago to having to retire him this week. Only one win but 12 for 22 in the money is a pretty good career. We were going to do everything we could to get him that 2nd win this year, but we know he's going to make his next owner very, very happy.

Big thanks as always to @Hennigracing @CaseyHinsdale and team for taking such good care of him. As well as @jenaantonucci for helping us find his next home through Florida TRAC.

Lastly, thanks to all of our Partners, including @upbackracing who understand and appreciate our decisions. We'll miss this guy and will be sure to keep our eyes on him moving forward.

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

We’re also excited to share that 10% of his earnings today (and all LBBS earnings for the rest of the year) will be donated to Wonders & Worries - an incredible organization providing services to children that have parents who are seriously ill or injured. Give them a look here - https://t.co/527k1tLvIB

Let’s go OC!!!

[Little Blue Bird Stables @LBBStables]

We're in sunny Hallandale Beach to kick off our meet at Gulfstream Park. OUR COUNTRY goes in the 5th race with David Egan aboard. Best of luck to all of our Partners. Let's go OC!

Enjoy your day with family and friends...

There's just something fun and exciting about that first breeze at Belmont Park. Our 2yo NYB filly, FULL POUR, stretched her legs a bit under the lights this morning.
