Jimmy P gets his 3rd Grade 1 of his career and gives me my 10th. What a cool dude 😎 He loves Saratoga and always shows up! What a ride by Stephen and such a testament to my team to keep this boy in top form year after year. 3 Grade 1s now, 3 years in a row!! Thank you @MadaketStables & @AFRUKUS 🤩

I love the Olympics. Winter, summer, every single games, I tune in.

I love it because we see how sports bring us together.

I love it because we are reminded that sports are the ultimate equalizer. Look at weightlifting in the summer Olympics or downhill skiing now. The weights and the mountain don’t care what country you come from, how much money you have, or what religion you are. The weights and the mountain are the same for every single competitor.

I love it, most of all, because the Olympics remind us of a core life lesson: greatness and heartbreak live right next door to each other.

You can’t find greatness without a few meetings with heartbreak and failure.

We saw this very clearly over the weekend.

Like many of you, I’ve been following my friend Lindsey Vonn’s inspirational comeback. She’s 41, one knee is completely rebuilt, and now she went into the Olympics with a freshly-torn ACL.

As storylines go, you can’t get any better. It is gutsy. It is brave. It is a little bit crazy.

And it brings out all of the losers to do their naysaying.

“Why would she do this?” 
”She must be missing something in her life.”
“It’s irresponsible.”

What these people don’t understand, because they’ve never tried anything great, because they’ve never pushed themselves to the absolute edges of their limits, because they’ll never know their real potential, is that there is no such thing as risk-free greatness.

Yesterday, when her Olympic dreams ended in that horrible crash that left all of us praying for her in front of our televisions, the haters were out in full force.

I don’t need to repeat it. Twitter has given losers enough of a platform; I won’t be amplifying them in this newsletter.

@racehorsesrace1 @LeopardstownRC Omg everyone commenting! Did you watch the race in real time? Photographer has zero to do with the horses mistake.
I’m sure he has signed his life away in waivers etc to be able to stand there and get his shot.
He knows the risks and we ALL appreciate the outcomes 📸😍🏇

[TDN @theTDN]

✨ It's hard to find the proper words to describe the one, the only, REBEL'S ROMANCE...but 'once-in-a-lifetime' seems like a good place to start. Known as the globetrotting superstar, a phenom whose talent appears to know no bounds, the 7-year-old Dubawi gelding did it again Saturday as he won the GI Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Stakes at Aqueduct with ease.

The win, by a margin of 3 1/4 lengths ahead of Redistricting, marked his ninth Grade I/Group 1 victory...20th Group victory...all the while boosting his career earnings to $14,446,477.

A two-time winner of the GI Breeders' Cup Turf, it's likely he'll look to pull off the threepeat in his next start with a return trip to Del Mar for this year's Breeders' Cup World Championships.

"He's a very special horse. If he could win three Breeders' Cups, I think it would be pretty special. I haven't spoken to Charlie yet, but I presume that's the plan. He ships home tomorrow and he'll have a little quiet time at home and then we ship out to Del Mar the end of October I suppose. Fingers crossed."

The @godolphin homebred, trained by Charlie Appleby, was ridden today by @FrankieDettori.

Tade𝐉onas 🙌🏼💯

Congratulations, Tadej Pogačar.
What a battle we’ve fought over the past weeks.

You are the deserved winner of the 2025 Tour de France. You help us live up to one of our core values: bringing out the very best in ourselves.

It’s what makes sport so beautiful: the rivalry between two great champions that keeps people on the edge of their seats and makes them fall in love with the sport.

Just like Ali and Frazier stood in the ring, 🥊
Like Federer and Nadal clashed on the tennis court, 🎾
Like Messi and Ronaldo pushed each other on the pitch. ⚽️

Not enemies, but rivals who make each other better. Two champions pushing one another to the limit. 🏆

Over these past weeks, you fought for more than just the yellow jersey. You fought to give our sport the stage it deserves.

Tadej and Jonas,
The rivals of an already incredibly strong cycling generation.
The champions of our cycling hearts.

Here’s to many more of these epic battles in the future, guys! 👊🏼
