@moreheadstate I attended the basketball game last night. A particular fraternity should have consequences for what they considered acceptable language. Shocking really.

[Airdrie Stud @AirdrieStud]

MAGE weanlings stood out with his first-crop in November. He’s just getting started.

This is COMPLEXITY’s third Graded Stakes winner this year, and 11th stakes winner overall. Win and you’re in! Headed to Breeders Cup!

[Airdrie Stud @AirdrieStud]

With his victory Saturday, Mystik Dan did what no other @KentuckyDerby winner has done in two decades, that is win at least two races at age four. (Lukas Classic (GII), Blame Stakes (GIII).

Proud to be standing him at Airdrie in 2026!

@RepoleStable If you find yourself in a hole quit digging. Check on your horse in person and often. Trainers do not like to let horses leave their barn, but horses need a break and the opportunity to put their head down and eat grass. December and January is a great time to plan for that.

[Shannon Machholz @shannonLexKY]

@RepoleStable Ownership is expensive, it’s only a lot of 💰 if you don’t have the💰. Mike is searching for the next sire. You don’t have to. Place your horse at a level they can be successful. Retire a horse sound, with dignity, if they aren’t covering expenses.

I really enjoyed speaking with Matt Scull @1stRodeoRacing about breeding and selling racehorses. Yes there should be a mare cap. 🤔 https://t.co/5sq6v79DPE

"This is the best day ever!!"

Nearly 30 Woodford Co. 1st graders visited the farm last week. They ran, jumped, tumbled, smiled, and laughed for two hours. 🏆🥇🌹

We are so grateful to be able to host the school group and our own team shared in the joy!

@WelbourneStud Thank you for your kind words!

IRON MAN CAL was all heart. 🧡

After a tough stumble at the break, the son of @AirdrieStud’s Collected nearly pulled off a jaw-dropping comeback in the $100,000 Oceanside Stakes at @DelMarRacing, charging late to finish a brave second for trainer Phil D’Amato and jockey Antonio Fresu.

A tough beat, but a performance full of promise. 🤩
