Aoife Brazil

exercise rider with Paula Parson for centennial farms!

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

How can you not love these guys? @PletcherRacing's indispensable @sophievgreen17 caught Illuminare & Antiquarian awaiting their respective races. However the True North & Met Mile pan out, we're so proud of and thankful for them, and deeply grateful to everyone who got them here.

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

Remember, reflect, give thanks.

This horse, this team! What a return for Antiquarian, who rolls to our third Westchester win! So grateful to @PletcherRacing, including Juan Jose and Eduardo, Dr. Carr, Paula Parsons and her crew (great to have @bbrazila and Juan here!), these wonderful partners, and BABY P!

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

The importance of responsible retirement can't be overstated. @bbrazila plays such a crucial role in placing our horses in second careers... and gets to help out with this one herself! Icemaker, a future field hunter, started back in work today and was, "perfect." #feelgoodFriday

Big day for this guy! Nearly took his last pre-#FloridaDerby trip to the starting gate this morning AND his breeder, Kris Gibbons of Wind Hill Farm, is on the cover of @theTDN! Learn more about her and his upbringing: https://t.co/qeeansYUNV

See you soon, #GulfstreamPark! #Nearlytime

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

Good morning, Antiquarian! #goBabyPgo

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

Update: good night! 😆

Rest up, Illuminare. You sure deserve it after yesterday's big win. (Life advice from @sophievgreen17: make sure your volume is up.)

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

We are so proud to be part of VA's Thoroughbred industry & glad to use the Certified program to run at @ColonialDowns for a lot of reasons. But high on the list is that Juan & @bbrazila, who know him so well from their many years w/Paula Parsons, got to love on Illuminare after!

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

A very good boy and (just some of) a very good team.

[NBC Sports @NBCSports]

HE DOMINATES AND TAKES IT TO THE FINISH LINE. 👏

With 8/5 odds, Nearly claims the Holy Bull Stakes title!

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

This guy.

(Well... these guys.)

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

Congrats, Imperatrice! Nice score for the 2yo who was selected by Dr. Carr and Paula Parsons and prepared in #Middleburg for our own @Peter_Horvitz & @MargaretOMeara1. We like her so much that we have a Jack Christopher colt from her family on the roster! https://t.co/v52kGraR52

September 1: Don Little, Jr., Centennial partners Jeff and Diane Campbell, Kevin Nelson, Tom Carr, Missey and Jordyn Wells, and Centennial training rider Aoife Brazil visit with newly-minted GI Jockey Club Gold Cup winner Antiquarian at Todd Pletcher’s barn at Saratoga Race Course.

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

Happy #smallbusinessSaturday! There's a huge range of options when you consider getting involved in racing. Our model is on the smaller side. That allows us to really get to know you, so when something like the #JCGC happens, it happens as a family. Find your fit & #getinthegame!

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

Wash off the dirt, get some pats, on to the next one! Good learning experience for Icemaker - onward and upward.

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

Time to start gearing up for the BIG one! The great @DRFLivingston caught Antiquarian breezing an easy half-mile at #Saratoga this morning. It was his first work since taking the G1 #WinAndYoureIn Jockey Club Gold Cup. #goBabyPgo

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

Antiquarian's win in an eventful Jockey Club Gold Cup reminded us of 2 races - his dad's Woodward, of course, and, #throwbackThursday, Wicked Strong's first attempt to take the #JCGC. Like Mindframe, he was impeded with, lost his rider, & a horse was DQ'd for the incident. (1/2)

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

"This colt had a very good breeze from the gate yesterday. He's probably still 2 or 3 works away from being ready, but he seems like most of these Not This Times - they've got some gears." -@PletcherRacing about Nearly w/@Steve_Byk on 9/2. #getinthegame: https://t.co/M2qFLEZhn7

[Centennial Farms @Centennial_Farm]

What did we do the morning after Antiquarian became a G1 winner? Before visiting Baby P, we watched his buddy, the great @ljlmvel, guide Nearly through his first gate breeze! Happy #twoyearoldTuesday from the exciting son of Not This Time! Learn more: https://t.co/v52kGraR52
