I just spoke to Dr. Bramlage @roodandriddle and he’s confident that Princess Warrior will be saved. She’s going to need her sesamoids fused and he gives her 75% chance to become a broodmare. Her recuperation will take time and we are committed to giving her every chance.

I have a Question? Why is it that in a Kentucky Derby points race, shouldn’t the horses run at Equal weights like the Triple Crown races? Mo Donegal & Tiz The Bomb carrying 6 pounds more than Giant Game. Same last weekend in Southwest. Points races should be equal weight IMO

Swiss Skydiver earned 40 #KyDerby points with her runner-up Blue Grass finish @keenelandracing , perhaps enough to be on the Derby bubble, but @KennyMcPeek says they'll "most likely" go unused. "We're probably going back to fillies" by running in the Sept. 4 #KyOaks , he said.
