Happy JOHN MORRISSEY STAKES Day!
Did you know that Morrissey owned and trained a horse who was a "mudder?" His 5yo horse DEFENDER won the Summer Handicap at SAR in 1872, romping by 10 lengths over a muddy track.
My new brick in the @nmrhof courtyard celebrates this victory. 🐎🎪

.@jose93_ortiz just walked out of First Aid. He’s limping but he said “I’m okay.” He said he is not going to hospital. The horse he was riding stepped on his calf.

@SaratogaGoose Had to google “horology” today after hearing it repeated on the broadcast several times 🤔 🕰️

@robertmg Keeneland this year capped at 43k, smaller venue so assume similar for Fair Grounds, higher at other tracks though.

Chad Brown reports 2 BC scratches: Gaudreau from Juvenile (fever). Zulu Kingdom from Mile. Brown said that was done in consultation with the vets, neither Brown nor vets happy with way Zulu was jogging. Zulu expected to race again in 2027 and "this won't impact that," Brown said.
