Mating Plans for 2026: MyRacehorse

The MyRacehorse partners have been lucky enough to campaign runners worthy of taking up stud duties in Kentucky both in 2025 and 2026, and in an effort to support both Seize the Grey (Arrogate) and Straight No Chaser (Speightster), we've begun building up our broodmare band. These breeding-focused ventures have proven extremely popular--probably more than we even expected--and provide our owners with a chance to experience a different part of the business. While there's certainly a focus on supporting our stallions, we have made an effort to diversify and also...

'It's Our Lives': Harry Rice III, A Stalwart Member of the New York Jocks' Room, Reflects on his Half a Century at the Track

A helping hand. A kind smile. A word of encouragement. A piece of advice. When in the company of Harry Rice III, an instrumental member of the jockeys' room on the New York Racing Association (NYRA) circuit for 49 years, you're guaranteed to receive either one or all of the above.

The...

Breeders' Cup Breakthrough: Blacker Hoping to Repeat History

Dan Blacker was a long way from Santa Anita when he watched the 2003 Breeders' Cup, but the day would have a profound effect on the trajectory of his career. That year Richard Mandella captured four of the eight championship races, capped off by Pleasantly Perfect's Classic victory at 14-1 odds. "Still to this day, I think it's probably the greatest Breeders' Cup achievement of all time," Blacker said. It was a feat that would go down in racing's history books, but for Blacker, it sparked a question: what would...

Imagination Ignites Breeders' Cup Dreams with Santa Anita Sprint Championship Win

Imagination (Into Mischief) showed an electric turn-of-foot in the lane to overhaul the defending champion and claim his automatic berth to the Breeders' Cup by way of the GII Santa Anita Sprint Championship Stakes. Back at the six furlong distance for the first time since his debut two years ago at Del Mar, the Bob Baffert trainee had predominantly been a two-turn horse in his career and had two elite-level placings last year to his credit--once in the spring in the GI Santa Anita Derby when he came a neck...

Richard Glover Jr. and his father at Oaklawn Park in 1983, the year Althea won the Arkansas Derby.
Letter to the Editor: Wayne Lukas, My Dad, and Me

I knew it was coming, but that doesn't dull the sadness. I posted online last week that I was sad about the news D. Wayne Lukas had been put in hospice care and retired from training, but it's complicated to explain why I feel so profoundly sad about the passing of a man that I'd only spoken with a few times briefly in my life. A lot of it has to do with a connection I had with my dad that he unknowingly helped fuel many times over more than...

Resolute Racing's John Stewart has sold 25% of the yearling full-brother to Mage (Good Magic) and Dornoch, and half-brother to Saturday's Kentucky Derby starter Baeza (McKinzie) to MyRacehorse, he told the TDN Friday evening.
