Your Monday morning boost: Champion Sierra Leone, new for 2026, looking amazing at Ashford Stud. An incredible specimen who is even more impressive in size when you walk up on him.

At the end of a grey closing day here in Saratoga, the skies lit up for a short, but stunning, display.

Fire on high.

Thank you, Saratoga Race Course, for another season of moments and memories.

@Tinky47flat Did Hatton perchance mention which four? I assume Man o’ War, Citation, and Secretariat… Kelso, Count Fleet, Dr. Fager??? Fascinating and insightful anecdote.

@ArnoldPinnock @JRustomjee Arnold, if you're interested in more publications ... not from my personal materials, I can ask a friend if he is still looking to trim the library. He is in Britain.

@DRFLivingston @PreaknessStakes @DailyRacingForm @PimlicoRC Oh my! I'm feeling curiouser and curiouser.

[frank mitchell @f_mitchell07]

@DRFLivingston @PreaknessStakes @DailyRacingForm @PimlicoRC Even a century ago, the youth of America were having a good time at Pimlico. At least, that's what I suppose the writer meant about the Venuses and Adonises, and yesterday, many of them were peeling off their wet clothes and playing in the mud and such.
